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

Well, the ankle/achilles started feeling pretty good the end of last week so I decided to give it a few more days and start today and see how things felt.

My 15 year old had to be to Riverton High for his first day of HS football (SOO EXCITED, I LOVE FOOTBALL), anyway, I decided to run on the track so if the foot hurt, I could be done if bad enough. It felt fine the first mile but he 2nd it started to ache a little bit and then my left calf tightened (probably from compensation) but by the end, everything loosened up and started to feel a ton better...I'm sure it will hurt later.

It felt fantastic to be back out again!

I did 6 sets of lunges up the bleachers, 2 sets of jump squats, 3 sets of calf raises, stretched good and that's it:) Have a nice day:)

And all the high school boys were like, "Check out the new girl! I'm taking her to homecoming."
