Time to myself

I took a week off from running and just relaxed. I went to work on Tuesday but other than that I sat and read 2 books. I needed that and my swollen arch needed it. I got up this morning and went for a 3 mile run. I felt slow my legs felt like they have been locked up for days. But my brain felt great!! No regrets for taking the week off.

TTT catch up

1. I have been back from my cruise for awhile now but have had to take some time for family. We lost an amazing women that was with us while we were on the cruise and I was so blessed to have met her even if it was just for those few days on the cruise ship. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.  source (press to read an amazing write up by her family)

2. I have now run 2 races under 23mins. The last race this past weekend was 3.2 so I didn't make it under 23mins. But I ran that race in a whole other state of mind. I prayed for my family and friends the whole way.

3. I have broken the RW streak yesterday. Last week I coached girls on the run and ran with them everyday. I also ran a race on Saturday and a tough all hills run on Sunday. I woke up Monday with a VERY sore arch. I have not ran or walked any miles on it. I want to play it safe and let it calm down.

Wordless Wednesday

All packed and ready to go!! We head out this afternoon to Harrisburg so we can catch our early AM flight tomorrow.

Stride for Research 5k

Hi everyone hope you had a great Saturday! Mine started off great with a local 5k run with Manda.

 It ended up being short so I can't count this as a PR but I defiantly felt like I was running real hard. I also chicked a guy at the finishline!! To bad it was .07 short according to Mandas garmin (mine never made it to 3 miles).

National running day

Get out and enjoy what God has given you today! Just make sure you don't come across any bears. (I was stopped on my run by a truck saying there was a bear up ahead). Nothing a big rock can't hold off but I did not see the bear.
