Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am a Mormon

 

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

I've got another annoying cold. Still functional, but low energy and the cough is still here! Going on 8 weeks with this thing, and it appears to let up for a day, then points its mean finger in my face and throws down the hammer. Okay, maybe not that extreme. Those Rx throat steroids really let me down. Aside from a kid, a smoker and someone with a lung disease, who has one this long?

Regardless, I made myself crawl to FireHouse and went through the motions for today's workout. It made my throat burn and I may have gave slightly less effort than I needed to. I talked to the trainer too much and found excuses to take breaks, that I didn't really need. I didn't feel to bad though, anything was better than staying in bed, which is what I really wanted to do this morning:) Superstar.

Little desire to run lately. Anyone else?

Don't feel bad. There was a guy there this morning that quit half way into the workout and went for a run instead.

Sounds like a smart guy. What was up with today? It wasn't anything different from the regular...was it? Those pole, jump things are killers. Ridiculous, even.

Way to get out there even though you were feeling like shite. Hope you get feeling better soon.
