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!

Great run with the group this morning. My plan was to do about 8:15/m pace for the first 9 miles and then speed up and do the final 4 at 7:45/m.

However, I was feeling pretty energetic for some reason. I started getting faster after mile 2. I ran with Tim the whole way. It was so nice through the middle part of the run because it was in the shade and it felt really cool. I was feeling great until around mile 9 when my ipod stopped working. This pissed me off to no end. I had to really focus the final 4 miles running without music and having to listen to my heavy breathing. At mile 12 we lost the shade and I told Tim I couldn't keep up. He slowed down for me. The final mile I was running on fumes. I'm really happy with the run today. It was alot of fun. I didn't have any leg pains but my right foot had some blisters.

One cool thing that did happen today was that I met Jody from the blog!!! She was running most of the way with us. I asked her name because she was new. She said Jody and I did a double take because I knew Jody from the blog also lived in Fort Worth. I asked her at a water stop and it really was her! So neat!

It was great to meet you! I had to replace my garmin. I have had to hard reset off and on since I have had it and the mode button had been acting up. When I picked it up on Monday, it was really hot and that is never a good sign. Somewhat sad, because we have logged a ton of miles together. I ended up getting a 405 that I found a really good deal on online with free overnight shipping. It is a little different but I am getting used to it.

Enjoy your Mexican food and see you Monday!
