feels good to run again. i was really depressed about my running because of how i took a week off and then strained my body running 15 the week after. i was less depressed today and felt quite strong today from the start for the first time in a while. the strain in my calf isn't too bad anymore. i know 41 minutes sounds real slow for pushing myself slightly faster than a marathon course but it is pretty hilly. at least 500 feet of elevation gain. i like the idea of ultramarathons but NOT the recovery time. i don't think i'll run more than 10 miles for another week because of the disaster that happened last week. it's fun to go for under 45 mins and know you can push yourself as much as you want.

found out i got into the knee knackering north shore trail run in vancouver july 11th. i feel bad though because i didn't realize it was then when i said i would pace a friend at hardrock this year. i'm definitely excited to go to vancouver though!

Man I know that depressed feeling all to well. Although I am seeming not to get as depressed over things lately because I have been through so many depressing things and I am just plain tired of being sad. And had get through them without running. Hand in there:) I actually always come back stronger after a spell away form running. You body needs the break.

thanks for the encouragement. i'm sorry to hear that things have been depressing for you! it's tough to be happy without running.
