Runs 2 and 3

Sometimes, despite all the planning and list making that goes on in my head, I get behind myself. After coming home from school, I was hurrying to get ready to get out the door for my run by 630 since it's starting to get dark at 7:00! When did that sneak up on me... Anyways - our HUD for our closing next week arrived and it didn't get out the door till 8:40. It just reminded me that no matter how much I plan, life and God always have their own plans, and that in order to remain sane, I need to accept those changes. The two hour delay didn't stop my run, it just forced me to run on the treadmill, something I really dislike. When I was in seventh grade, I used to walk the mile to our local YMCA, rain or shine, winter or summer, in order to workout. It started innocently enough as a way to get healthy, but became an addiction to exercise. To me the treadmill represents that time in my life. Although I occasionally climb back on the treadmill - I much prefer the great outdoors!

Back to Training

After two years of my running on and off due to injuries, I am finally back to training! I am so excited to finally have a plan in place to get back to the trail and the road. With RQ and I moving into our new house in just a week, I figured there was no better time to get it together. Throughout high school and college, running was my clutch, my stress relief, and my sanity keeper. When I lost running due to injury upon injury, I lost those outlets. To go from running 2hour long runs to 0minute runs - I can't believe I didn't die from boredom. BUT - today I am back. Four easy runs this week is the goal. Run 1 complete.
