Beautiful run with Cindy.  Feeling a little off; tired, sore, slightly headachey. I think its because I have been stressing over finances and Aaron's business, and also because I didn't eat so well last weekend. Went on a two night retreat with some girlfriends in Nederland and didn't sleep or eat too stellar.  At home I am gluten and sugar free pretty much all the time and so to go and eat gluten and sugar multiple times over the weekend really emphasizes the contrast in how I feel. Ugh. Time to detox.

I was glad I had Cindy there with me today because I would not have done a workout alone. At least 4 times I asked myself why I was willingly putting myself through such pain. Made me think about life and how I unwillingly go through pain that seems to wear me down. Yet there I was, willingly inducing pain by doing a speed workout knowing I'll be tired later today and possibly regretting it. This is the reason I haven't been racing for two years. Because I've had enough pain and/or struggle in my life to not want to seek out more just for kicks. And I still have plenty of stress with finances that makes me just want to lay down sometimes, but I have a goal to run the Bolder Boulder in May in somewhat decent shape, so I'm going to keep running even on the days I dont feel like it.  I do have the hope that I will feel stronger and fitter after a few more weeks of doing workouts and maybe I'll be glad I did them.

We must have had an ice rain storm last night because the path was covered in ice sheets. I ate it twice and felt like a rock star. Literally. My shoulder stayed in socket both times!

Warm, windy run around Devil's Thumb. I love that neighborhood.

Having this weird tightness in my foot. Worse when I'm walking than when I run.
