Did the first 4 miles of the Reedy River 10K course then met up with my coach to try to figure out why I'm struggling so much. So she had me do 45 strides with 30" rest for about a mile to pro... read more

blah Neighborhood 5 mi 01:04 12:48 pace
Had plans for 7, only got in 5 and it was a slow 5 at that. Seriously doubting if I'll even be able to do the GHS half marathon. My mind wants to but my body is saying no way, not right now. Also I... read more

Sorry about your pups' health issues, Erica. I know how stressful that stuff can be. Glad you were able to get out for a run today, at least! I agree about how it felt outside... beautiful, just too darned hot for February.

I hope your vet suggested that you use a harness instead of a collar. I realize that there are different levels of this since small dogs are prone to collapsing tracheas.

good Middle Tyger YMCA 1400 m 00:45 51:43 pace
Once I got warmed up, I felt really good but I just don't know how to avoid "cold shock" in the first minute after jumping in. In the triathlon, I won't have the luxury of taking my time ... read more

great Neighborhood Loop 3.13 mi 00:35 11:06 pace
Finally a run that left me relaxed instead of more stressed out! I decided to ignore the workout on my training plan and just go out for easy slow run. No expectations, no goals, just run! The resu... read more

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is put on our running shoes, and get out the door. But that is such a good way to release some stress. My daughter has been sick since 2 weeks before Christmas, and has been in the hospital twice. She's recovering at home this week, and running has been a good way to release some of my anxiety. Keep at it. Glad that your dad is doing better, and prayers for your puppy. Hugs and sprinkles.

Hope everything takes an upturn for you soon. The only way I can ever beat the stress of dealing with tweens all day long is to hit the gym or run after work. like Jenny said - a slow run is still a run (and that cute little saying about how you're still lapping everyone on the couch) :) Hang in there!

This was suppose to be a speed run but it turned out to be a very frustrating run instead. I feel like I'm getting slower and running is getting harder. Plus I'm so tired of running alone and in th... read more

Sorry you are feeling this way right now. I had a few bouts with that recently, and the thing that worked for me was to totally change up what I was doing and how I was doing it -- gave me a different outlook.
