It’s been a solid week overall. Down another pound which makes me happy, still on target for my goal. Running is progressing, I’m still frustrated by the mind-body disconnect I’m experiencing and that I’m not progressing as quickly as I’d like, but I’m getting there. I’m getting stronger every run. All my post-work short runs will now be 5k–no more pissing around with 1-2 miles. 5k used to be my standard short run, so that standard is being reinstated. I’ve been able to run back to back days, and even the day after class (which I know will not always be the case). Making some difficult decisions about training and what needs to happen. Getting really excited about racing, signed up for my goal race, and I have a whole list of other races I want to sign up for this late summer/fall season. Relentless forward motion.
I feel a big post coming on soon about everything. I feel like I need to dissect my love affair with running. It’s still brewing in my head but it will need to come out soon. I have a lot of time to think and process and reflect between my runs and my commute, it’s almost time to get it on paper (or the internet).
Busy weekend ahead. Racing tomorrow, normal weekendy stuff, then an afternoon trip to Ohio on Sunday for a family reunion/picnic. Planning to get a run in on Sunday morning too since the race is only 5k, I should be able to get back to back runs in.
One more day at work then time to get this party started.
