Last night my husband suggested I sleep a bit longer this morning and head out a little later for my run. I was tempted enough to set a second alarm for an hour later. It would mean a slightly shorter run, but the schedule had an easy run on the plan for today. It wouldn’t […]
There is something so liberating about a run without a plan. Today I had the option of either a fun run or a more structured workout. I didn’t even look at the workout. Actually, I wasn’t sure how far I’d get after the two large meals I ate yesterday, which reminded me why I prefer […]
I managed to completely sabotage my beloved long run day. It’s not so much that I did anything wrong. The trouble is, I neglected some basic key things that I do without thinking and for most if it, I didn’t do anything right. The result was a run gone wrong. Stupid stuff, but lots of […]
For the first time since Saturday, I got to enjoy a good ol’ regular training run. It was fun doing things a little differently the last few days. It also made me appreciate how easy it is for me to slip out the door every morning with plenty of choices for how and where to […]
