I am hard on myself too. I am taking walk breaks for my 8-10 miles even. I used to run a 8mm for those so its very difficult to sort of waddle along. (i'm sure you aren't but I am!) But you will get there!!

tired Short Run & Gym 4.02 mi 00:36 09:02 pace
Short run with Lisa from Fowler Rec Ctr to Union Hill & back. Time doesn't reflect the pause to rehydrate at the turnaround. Water does a body good - especially after wine the night before... read more

Congratulations to Matthew! That's a great run for an 11-year-old. My daughter, just turned 10, is now on the Smyrna Youth Track Team. It's kind of nice to be able to ensure she runs regularly without having to do all the runs with her. I love to go and watch her run. Tell Matthew he has a fan club and we're looking forward to hearing all about the PRR!

Fowler Rec Center 00:45
About 45 - 1:00 of strength training - upper body/abs and some legs too. Learned some great stretches from Lisa. Made all the difference after my crappy run.

A crappy run for you is a good run for most people. Glad the stretches helped.

I'm really sorry you are having multiple issues crop up! I guess you can be thankful that this didn't happen to you in Boston. Still, I know it's highly annoying to have to cut a run short. Hang in there and let it rest a little. You really are still getting some good runs in!

Nice hilly ride at LLI. I do love the downhills - max speed 37.08 mph and that was not full bore! I think I will be doing more cycling this summer.

You still got 11 miles in and are being so smart about it. I think you'll eventually soar to new heights. I hope you will be going back to Boston next April!
