Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Good run.  We went a 1/2 hr early so I was a little tired.  My stomach is still upset from Thanksgiving.  

Today I worked on overcoming my fear of wind, especially running in the wind.  The first two miles were uphill in the wind - not fun, but the rest was great.

I was excited to run today because it had snowed yesterday.  I love to run after it snows.  My running partner canceled so I stayed close to home and ran a loop through my neighborhood 4 times.  It was a little icy so I had to take it slow at first but by the las lap I was able to run at race pace.  

Today was slow. I ran with Paula and we spent to much time chatting and not enough energy going fast. Glad I went and really thankful for hot showers!

It looks like we will be in St. George through next Tuesday.  I am excited to run in some warmer weather and my runs are always better in the south.

Today is a big fat 0.  No run today.  Here are my Top 10 reasons (excuses) for no run:

10. I already have some good mileage for the week

9.   My back has a lot of stress and is very sore

8.  I am driving to St. George today so I need some extra rest

7.  I stayed up to late last night working

6.  A diet of Diet Coke, Doritos and Jelly Beans does not produce good running

5.  I am running longer tomorrow, so I need some extra rest

4.  I have a sore throat 

3.  I hate the treadmill

2.  My husband and son have already left for St. George and so I have no one to watch my girls why I run today

1.  I am just lazy... not a very good excuse!!!

 
Happy running!!
