It has been far to long since I updated this blog. FAR TO LONG. Sometimes as a Mother, it is easy to get caught up in the day to day and taking care of the kids and house. It's easy to let the other things go. And rightfully so, my family is number one always. So with that being said, I will continue to do my best in keeping this blog up. Its all for me. I want to remember this time in my life. The triumphant feeling of training for and running any marathon is a period in which to document and remember. It's a journey only a select few (compared to general Population) will ever get to have. However, I am sure this wont' the the only neglect in this blog. I know it's going to happen again and it's ok!
What I've been up to: I am slowly increasing my base mileage. Each week I am adding a few more miles. I do 2 shorter speedy type workouts, the other 3 are "happy jogs", and my long run . I push the pace in my long run. I think that's where it's at! This last month has been a little hard for me, trying to build back up.To understand you have to know that I was injured most of the summer. I had to stop running all together. Here I am trying to build back up. I need to give myself credit, I have a lot of 'aerobic base" already. I've been running consistently and uninjured since Sept. 16th. Intertwined my friends, with a lot of elliptical hell! I am re-finding speed. It's quite the process! Speed hurts! It burns! And dang, you have to dig deep to find it. It's been quite interesting re-learning to take a mileage 'brunt' again too. Thank heavens my thyroid is back online and up to full function again. I have the energy of a teenager once more. :)
I can do this...
