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!

Got dressed to go run the first chance I got today but it started raining. I couldn't muster up the will power to go running in 40 degree rain. I need a treadmill!!! I got some Christmas money which I'd love to use to buy one, but it looks like we need a new washing machine instead. Ugh!

The holidays are finally over. My in-laws left yesterday. It was a great Christmas this year! Ryan's first and Jake really understood this year which made it really fun! They had several days in a row of opening gifts because we had many different family functions. They were so tired when Mimi and Pawpaw left yesterday, they both fell asleep at 4:45 pm and didn't wake up until 7 am!!

Now that everything is done, I hope to be able to get back into a regular running routine.

8 miles at 9:30 am. 55 degrees, sunny, wind 15 mph. Beautiful day. I am so grateful that I am healthy and able to be outside running on a day like today!

I decided to just go really easy today, which is to say that I didn't charge any hills. I'm saving myself for tomorrow. The plan is to run 15 miles. I'm going to have to do it all by myself since my running group isn't doing one. I guess most people will be celebrating tonight. Not me. No babysitters. Tomorrow morning I think I'm going to go to the river and run 3.75 miles in one direction and 3.75 back to my car for water and gu, then run 3.75 miles in the other direction and 3.75 back to my car again.
