March 30, 201511 yr tonight I went for my first run outside in months! It was the best run of my life! I only ran 2.40 miles...but i enjoyed it so much and appreciated the warmth of the sun on my face and was just so grateful. Even when i was fighting the wind on my way back...it didn't matter. I loved every minute of it. I think that break from running actually has done me some good and now I just love it even more than before. Can't wait to run again!
March 30, 201511 yr Author before when I was running i was starting to resent it a little....because my average was 3 miles and they were 3 very pissed off miles...occasionally i would make it to 5 and feel like I was never going to be comfortable running...I was never going to like it. but tonight...that has changed. Something has changed....inside of me...flipped a switch. That's so awesome!

March 30, 201511 yr Author hmmmmmmm....... got me thinking now.... it was really weird and now I can't wait to run again to test if it was just a fluke...lol...hope not!
March 30, 201511 yr I came in 3rd place on Saturday in my 5K race for my division 40-49 year old Men - still far from my goal time but it was a new best for a race 26 minutes and 16 seconds - by year end I want to finish a race in the 23-24 minute range if not better.
March 31, 201511 yr Author another 2 miles tonight...would have gone further but I started late and it was getting dark so I turned around and headed home...still..not bad considering I worked out for an hour in the morning..and also did the ab challenge. Again...another enjoyable run :)
April 1, 201511 yr Starting PT next week! Heard my therapist is one of the best in town for gait realignment. Considering I need to re-learn how to walk, I'm feeling pretty lucky to get him. I can't wait to get started.
April 1, 201511 yr Author i can't run today or tonight.... :( my turn to run support group tonight It's so nice out too.....but that is ok..tomorrow it's supposed to be 60...I'll grab it then
April 1, 201511 yr Went for a 5.5 mile run with cody first time he ran over 3 miles with me, he did awesome now he is pooped out laying under the tree outside lol I am sitting on my deck now enjoying the warm awesome weather :)
April 4, 201511 yr Author Only ran 1.40 miles. Decided to bring my dog with me and that wasn't a good idea.
April 5, 201511 yr Author Just got done running 3.2 miles. Felt good. My time wasn't great but it was extremely windy. There were times I was staying in one spot. Lol. I'm noticing my endurance is better than ever since I started running again as far as not quitting and walking. I ran the whole time. I think I broke through that barrier in my head that would make me stop. Nice
April 7, 201511 yr Author ran 3 miles last night....was about to quit after 2 miles because I was headed back home and it was starting to get dark..but when I reached my house I just kept running...and ran in the neighborhood for another mile. Felt awesome!
April 10, 201511 yr Author been 3 days and I really feel the urge to RUN... either tonight or tomorrow...OR both I need it
April 12, 201511 yr Author ran 3.5 miles today...it was a little rough because I am fighting a cold and I was getting tired...but I pushed through.
April 22, 201511 yr Author haven't run since I got back from Florida but I did run 3 times while I was down there. 2 times in my friends neighborhood and once on the beach. The air was thick down there compared to here so I did have a bit of a hard time breathing but the funny thing was..my time was better then ever. Which isn't good. haha. I ran 3 miles....3.2 miles...then 2 miles on the beach...lol my pace on the 3.2 mile was 10:53 per mile...I'm usually 12 min miles still...lol not bad going to run tomorrow
April 23, 201511 yr Running is what kept me just a teeny bit sane on my recent vacation. Had an unbelievably beautiful and powerful 6 miler in the near-pouring rain. For whatever reason nothing ached and my lungs were super expansive. It felt like God was with me - I know, I know pretty dramatic, but I did sense some serious assistance. Tomorrow I am attempting a super tough run. I will report back with details.
