Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom.  I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed.  I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011.   I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs.   When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time.   After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022.  I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

I think I need to eat more calories and carb load today.  It felt like my muscles were totally depleted of glycogen after mile 7.  It was so hard to move.  I had to concentrate to not totally blow my form and 9:45 was about as fast as I could go.  I wonder if running when you feel like this is in any way helpful... or does this just constitute "junk miles".    I just wanted to get my 10 in today and I added 1 more to make up for yesterday's 9.
