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!

6 miles around my neighborhood at 3pm.  Weather=70F, 71% humidity, 61 dew point, 5mph wind, sunny.  Garmin wasn't charged so no pace info.

 I start my new job on April 30th.  They gave me the salary I asked for so I'm super happy.  Things are really working out well at the moment.  I have no running injuries.  The weather is great.  My kids went to daycare today and I cleaned entire house, did several loads of laundry and organized my entire office.... unbelievable the things I can get done when I have some babysitting all day.   Now I'm going to go pick them up!   This has been a great day!

6.2 miles at the river at 1pm.  Weather=77F, 69% humidity, 66 dew point, 20mph wind gusting to 25mph, sunny.  Average pace=8:55/m.

I've got a sinus infection.  This is like the 5th illness I've had in about 3 months.  My kids keep getting sick and passing it back and forth and to my husband and I.   It is so frustrating.  

My sinuses are pretty clogged today but I decided to run a really slow and easy 6 miler to test a theory that running helps illnesses like this.  I figure the increased body temp might help kill off bacteria... heck, isn't that the whole purpose of a fever?  So an exercise induced fever might work just as well...  Also, I figure the increased blood flow increases the flow of white blood cells to the infected sinuses.   I'm not a doctor though so all this could be BS.
