Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Had a really good run tonight, was feeling light and energetic.  I've been eating really clean since New Years so I think I'm actually noticing a difference now.  Did 6 miles AP 8:40 and a 1/2 mile cool down.  I did not freeze as bad tonight, maybe it is finally warming up a bit.  Between miles 2 and 4 I had a serious endorphin high and it was amazing.  I guess that makes running my drug of choice.

3.5 on the TM.  Did some incline intervals to simulate running hills.  Was a fun change since I usually never change the incline on my TM at all.  It was very mentally engaging and also a great workout as I was sweating bullets.  Will for sure be adding these hill workouts into my weekly routine, I think it could be quite beneficial.

3.5 miles on the TM  AP 8:36 with a 1/2 mile cool down.  This workout felt a little sluggish, and I have something going on in my right groin/adductor area that is not feeling so good.  Better ice tonight just to be safe.  I hate it when it feels like an injury is coming on.  Tomorrow I will go to yoga class and try to work out some of my aches and pains.

3.5 miles on the TM very slowly.  Things are not feeling so good on my right side, its got problems.  Not any acute pain but, not feeling good either.  Took two days off, iced, IB profin and that helped a little.  But I just don't have the stability on my right side for any intensity.  Might need to take it easy for a bit, not really sure how this is going to play out.  But I'm pretty sure its my own fault, as usual.  Just pushed too hard, got greedy.  Sometimes its so hard to be patient.
