I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

Back on the horse.

Now that I'm a little removed from my terrible race, I'm feeling okay about whatever happened. I think some of it was mental, but I'm still having some breathing issues. I'm really trying to be better about using my inhalers. I should probably go back to the doc. I think pollen counts are really high. My cough is back.

Kinda caught a bit in a catch 22. Running alleviates stress, but when I have a lot of stress, it's hard to make the time to run. I ran in the a.m., and will try to make that happen until school lets out.

Ran another a.m. 4.  It was drizzling, but it felt good. 

Whoops. This is actually Friday. I felt good on this run, especially at the end. The only weird thing was that I saw a lady throwing up what looked like coffee outside the American Legion hall. I offered to get her some water, but she seemed like she wanted to be alone with her puke.

Well, it's been a week since I last ran. I have to admit that my race really killed me mentally, but work and family life has also played a factor in my lack of desire to run. Morning running fell apart two days after it began, first because of rain and then because Chuck is stressed, and it for some reason it makes him feel better when he leaves for work at 5.

I was actually looking forward to this run all day. So that's good. I ran out to the farm. Pace was slow and easy. I didn't even crack into the 8s until partway into the third mile. It was windy and warm, maybe 70s. Next week should be easier for running since school is out. I still have to work, but hours are drastically reduced.

In michigan. I ran around in circles. Luckily the circle was a mile loop.

In Michigan still. I started off running the same mile loop as Saturday, but got bored with it. I didn't have a lot of time, as I started my run soon before everybody started to clean up to leave.

4 easy at dusk. School is pretty much over, which is nice. I still have summer hours, but they are much more laid back.

An easy run out to the farm. I am feeling better about running ever since my epic fail, especially now that school is over! It's been pretty hot and humid, but I ran later in the day, and it felt pretty nice.

Yesterday i mismanaged my time, so I only did abs. Today I ran my normal 4 mile route but added on some mileage by running along the bike path to add on a little loop it as rather warm and sunny. At least the lady's puke from last week was gone.

I also fell. I spent a minute thinking about running in the street to avoid this area that is always wet after I decided not to run around it I forgot about it and hit it square in the slippery part. I went down, but fell perfectly so that I hurt nothing. The car that watched me stopped to make sure I was okay. That was nice.
