Find joy in the Journey

Started my training for my marathon in June.  I ran 3 miles at lunch time.  I do so much better running in the afternoon than in the early morning.  I'm glad I have opptions.  

Ran 3 again today.  My cardio  felt great, but my arms and legs felt really heavy.  I lifted weights on monday so I think it is from that.  It is sure nice to be able to fun outside.  Makes the run easier for me.

I did not get to run today.  I hate wednesday's!  It is my day when all of mine and my kids activities land on.  Tomorrow is another day and it will be better......as long as the boys sleep through the night.  That really kills me! 

Had to run on the indoor track today.  I'm glad I have that option, but it is not my favorite way to run.  Didn't eat enough this morning though, I was lacking in energy.  I will have to play around with that.

AWESOME RUN!!!!  I felt so good.  I really pushed myself and it felt really good.  

I want to give a shout out to all you runner out there who have ever been told that they can't accomplish their running goals.  Don't listen to them!!  If you have a goal and a desire than you go for it.  We all run for different reasons and are working for different outcomes.  Don't let anyone put you down for trying.  Do your best and have fun doing it.  

I have been told by a fellow blogger that my goals are unreachable, that I am setting my self up for failure....YOU'RE WRONG!   

Day 6 of training:  8 miles, felt strong 

Had a great run this morning!  It was a beautiful day and a great temp.  My husband was being extra supportive and came running with me.  That was a real treat!  I felt really good the whole run.  I was expecting to feel it on mile 7 but I felt great all the way to the end.

I am a music person and at about mile 2 my mp3 player died.  I stressed at first.  I thought, how am I going to run without my music.  Well, it is what it is and ran without.  I have to say it was actually really pleasant.  I really enjoyed it!
