I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Did not sleep a whole lot last night do to a coughing husband but was able to jump right up and met the BBK's for the early miles. We had 2 options today. Either speed or no speed. I opted for the no speed cuz I'm still trying to just get comfortable again. Anywho, we warmed up for 4 1/2 miles and then picked up the pace just a little and then did some 15 second pick-ups just to remind the legs what some speed feels like. Felt AWESOME today! YAY! AP 9:09. Enjoyed running with Jerry, Kelli, Lisa, and Cheryl.
