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 with Tim this morning. Ashley isn't running this week because she is going on a business trip. We tried a new route. It had several long gradual hills both up and down. It was challenging and fun but it did seem longer than it actually was. I carried one of those water bottles that strap to your hand today. It was a 20 oz water. It was frozen when I started and completely melted by the end of mile 3. It was annoying to hold. I couldn't pump my arms up the hills as easily with this recoil action of the water. I drank it all by the end of 5 miles, I dropped it off on the street and then I came back to pick it up later. Next time I think we're going to try to leave water on a corner and do some loops where we keep coming back to the corner to drink. It's so hot and humid- gotta figure out something.

It's going to be a high milage and fast paced week running with Tim every day. Gonna have to go to bed early every night.

I had a popped blister on the top of my big toe I've been dealing with. It's like an open wound. The other day my big toe busted out of my sock and so my toe was rubbing directly on the shoe so that's how I got it. Anyways, tried some stuff called "New Skin" today and it worked really well. It goes on liquid and dries and closes the wound. Good stuff!!
