Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Nice and warm today, even the wind wasn't so bad.  My leg felt okay again which is good.  Very uneventful, so not much to say.

So much for staying home for a while.  I had to go to Cedar today for a business meeting and so I ran tonight at the hotel.    I did 2.5 on the treadmill and then overheated.  The first mile wasn't too bad.  I was watching Marathon Challenge on PBS, it is a story of regular people preparing to run the 2007 Boston Marathon.  It was pretty interesting and kept me entertained for the first 2 miles.  It ended and I could take no more and decided to brave the wind and go outside.  I ran 2 more outside.  The first mile was into the wind and up Leigh hill - not really my intention but I kept thinking go this point and then you can turn around.  I felt good at every marker and ended up making it up the hill and then ran back to the hotel.  My leg felt really good the entire time!  YEAH!  

 I registered for St. George yesterday and I am getting really excited.  It is nice to be somewhat motivated and feeling good!  I am still extremely slow and that is frustrating, but it will come.

Ran with Paula this morning.  We went on a flat monotonous route to keep it easy on my legs and because I was limited on time today.   It was all very  uneventful until the last .25.  I am not sure what happened but all of a sudden my vision became double vision.  We stopped for a minute while I tried to figure out what was going on and nothing was working.  I figured just get home and see how the rest of the morning is and by the time I was home my vision was back to normal.  Not sure what happened but I am glad it was only temporary and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Went out today in the horrible wind. I ran the big block and battled the wind the entire time except for 1 mile, when I had it at my back. I felt really good the entire time other than tired towards the end. No leg issues, no vision issues - it is miracle!! I feel really good about getting out today in the wind and completing my longest run since March 25, however I am disappointed with my overall pace 9:12.  I really feel like I cannot get going right now, but I am trying to be patient as I build back up.

Happy Running!
