Well, I'm back where I started... I'm more ways than one. I've decided I need to start entering my miles and participating here. I need to find my running community again. I found it once here and I'm over social media, so I might as well go where people all appreciate you posting your daily runs! I also feel like I'm back at square one pace wise. Since my accident (8/7/23 - I got hit by a deer while riding my bike and life flighted to IMC and in the hospital for a couple weeks) I felt like for a bit I started getting speed back, but lately I'm just stuck at 10mm and it is killing me mentally and emotionally! I need to start running fast again... or just running and not jogging. I feel like I've lost all my running people and I'm out there alone conquering the miles everyday. Although I don't mind the solo runs and listen to podcasts to get me through, I miss people. I miss socializing on runs. I can't run fast enough to run with people and chat anymore, so no one wants to run with me. Sigh... pity party started. So, I got out for 11 from Wheadon Farms today. It was a good loop to the Draper city park and back then out to the plural sight trail for a bit then back. It was just Daisy Mae (my puppy) and I as usual, but we got it done. AP was 10:07, but if you take out the few crazy uphill miles, it was closer to a 9:40AP... slightly more acceptable. Be back tomorrow! |
