Personal:

I'm 25 years old in an MFT masters program. Lately I've been feeling lonely, in part because my hubby was deployed to Afgahnistan and in another part I've felt like I haven't been doing anything to better myself.  I've slowly realized that I really miss working out, I miss competing, and I just miss that feeling you get when you run and when you run well! My body may not physically run the way it used to 6 years ago, but my mentality is still as positive and competitive as ever! It's time to get back into it... slowly but surely!

Total Distance
3.58

I just ran 3.58 miles in 35 mins. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I haven't been running this week because I was doing Insanity but i just found out that one of my DVD's skipped so I couldn't do one of them today so I opted for running. I want to get to the point where I can run in the morning and do my Insanity in the same day. I'm wondering if that might be too much for my body so soon but I figured I have to at least try it first to see how I feel. Today during my run I got the most random pain on the side of my right foot but that went away about five or seven mins into my run. Then I had the feeling like I was going to get a side cramp  but I just focused on my breathing and it never hit me hard. Finally during mins 12 through 25 I just kept visualizing myself doing well in the LA marathon... ok not just doing well... I won that thing HA! Of course that's just a dream but hey, visualizing yourself doing great is a good thing in my book! It actually had me smiling big during my run! Overall a good run today.
