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!

Ran 1 warm-up mile to corner to meet Tim.  We did a 4.6 mile loop.  Then ran 1 cool down mile home.  We ran easy today and we talked.  For some reason I felt great today.  When I got home and looked at the splits I was surprised, by effort alone I would have guessed the pace was like 8:45 most miles. 

I drank one of those gatorade G1 thingys this morning about 20 minutes before I left.  I don't know if that had something to do with how good I felt. 

Plantar faciatis is feeling better today.  Been rolling my foot on balls all day.  Made an effort to eat magnesium rich foods these last two days and I can tell you that I am no longer achey.  For two weeks my muscles have ached and now they feel perfectly fine.  I guess I had lactic acid buildup and the magnesium helped clear it out.  Amazing how much nutrition plays a roll in performance.  I'm spending all this time and effort training... I have to remember that equally important in improving is what I eat... oh and how much sleep I get.
