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!

16 miles at 5:30am. Weather= 73F, 40% humidity, dark then sunny.

Met Ashley, Jody, Wendy and Britt at the store. I was feeling great today. I don't know what happened, but it's like this week I just "woke up" and suddenly now I am back to my old self fitness speaking. I felt so strong.

We were going to do this 8 mile loop twice to make 16 for the day, but it turned out that the loop was only 7. At the end of mile 11, the store had ice cold water and nuun out. From this point we could go two different ways. The running store had water out today on the loop that we had been running but it was shorter than what we wanted. The girls wanted to go out further on the trail in the opposite direction to get more milage. They have been running 18-20 every Saturday. I was iffy about this plan because there wasn't cold water in that direction. I didn't carry water with me, it was getting hotter and I was starting to feel tired. I ran with them another mile further up the trail and then I said I was heading back to the store. So miles 12-16 were by myself. I slowed down after I left them.

This was the longest run I've had in several months. I need to continue to improve my endurance by adding milage every week. When it starts getting cooler I want to start doing some tempos in the evening.
