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.

This morning was beautiful, the weather was perfect for a nice long run.  Who knew that some chocolate flavored GU with caffeine was what I needed to have an awesome run.  Had one about 15 minutes before I went out and I seriously felt the difference.  Avg Pace 8:30, feeling really prepared now for my 1/2 coming up.

My run this morning felt more like a punishment.  Did not get enough sleep last night and I started out feeling like I had no fuel in the tank.  Stayed that way the entire run.  Running up to the mouth of AF canyon was like a wind tunnel, and I swear I was being pushed backwards.  I'm glad I made it through, some days thats just the best you can do.

My new shoes feel great.  Started using them already cause I'm just too paranoid about my stress fracture coming back.  Seeing as I have picked my miles up to get ready for my second half, I feel like I have to be extra careful to stay injury free.  My legs felt so well rested and relaxed tonight, they had so much power.  I ran really fast and my lungs could just not keep up.  It was a great tempo run and I beat my previous 5k and 10k PR's.  In a training run, crazy.
