Short-Term Running Goals:

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

My hubby and me met a few BBK's for the early miles. I'll be honest, I really thought about quiting a mile or so in. The snow was pelting us in the face. It actually felt like a sand storm. I liked Rachel's comment about microderm. I'm glad I stuck it out though because the snow let up and it ended up being a nice, easy paced run. I talked with several people today and all around just enjoyed it. My right side aches and pains were noticeable today but not as bad as yesterday. I will roll on the foam roller again and see if that continues to help. Jared quit at 6 miles (I told him to), so he will have more for Saturday's race. This will be his second race, his first was on Thanksgiving (5k) and his highest mileage is 8 miles. I hope he enjoys the race and doesn't try to be a hero and sprint at the beginning of 13.1 miles:)

Thanks Michelle. I am struggling mentally right now. My heart is just not in it so I don't know if I want to do LA even though I am signed up for it. You are running like crazy!!! Are you getting burnt out at all?

Not too bad yet. Give me a few more weeks though and I'm sure I'll be ready for a break. I have Riverton 1/2 Sat, Boston next month and I'm doing Ogden Full in May. I think I'll back off for the month following.

Okay, okay. Cool fifty three degrees...snow pelting in the face. I guess I can live with my conditions.

Michelle - Thanks for the company today, I had a great run! I'm also glad that the snow stopped, because if it didn't I was going to :) Rest up and be ready for a great race Saturday!

Get your ailments taken care of.

Cool new pic Michelle! Tell Jared to get on the blog. Also tell him good luck tomorrow. Itll be a cold morning it looks like. Push all those ailments and little pshychy problems to the back of your mind today! Its go time!

You're still running aren't you? Jared will never blog! He HATES it! He makes fun of me constantly for this and Facebook! I wish my issues were in my mind. I think that 20 last Saturday kicked my trash a little.
