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!

5 miles with my group this morning.  Weather= 80 degrees, 55% humidity, 9 mph wind, sunny.  Average pace = 9:24/m

First 2.5 miles I ran with the 10 minute group averaging actually 10:15/m.  Then I turned at the first water stop to go back because I don't want to do too much too soon and risk re-injury to my leg.  I ran with this 21 year old guy on the way back and we picked up the pace and averaged 8:40/m the final 2.5 miles.  I was out of breath but my leg didn't hurt.  Leg still doesn't hurt after I stopped!  Woo Hoo!

I talked to the group I was running with before I got injured.  Today it was just Emily and 4 other guys.  They were doing 12 miles at 7:45 pace.  They zoomed past me when I was in the 10 minute group.  I can't wait until I can run with them again.  Patience Lindsey, patience...  Gotta stay focused on recovery and building up my milage before I even think about trying to keep up with those guys.

Welcome back, good to see you running again. You will be back with your old group soon, I think half the battle is getting used to the heat (which they probably are).

Thanks Joe! Yeah, this heat is oppressive!! Once I get used to it, it's at least somewhat ok in the early morning.
