Perseverance Through Running: Falling Behind

Falling Behind

Wow I really have been slacking lately.. But i do have an excuse with all my traveling lately and getting ready to move.. I have been having some activity but not as much as I would like.. I have also been neglecting to get on here and record my activity so here is a quick catch up..

The week of the 23rd I only got some biking in on friday.. My parents are up staying with us until we move and my dad just had knee surgery a month ago and he still could kick my butt on the bike.. It took everything I had to keep up with him.. Go DAD!!!!

Then we headed to michigan again and I got on the treadmill in the hotels gym on the 1st and ran 3.06 miles then went and swam some laps.. It felt great to put in a little more distance this time.. I was really looking forward to doing the Diana's run 5k in May but unfortunatly we wont be here for it so I will have to see what is going on out in Michigan for races.. Although I havnt really had the training this summer.

Owell hoping for a better week this week. I'm really looking forward to getting settled in to our new home in Michigan so I can get back into some kind of routine and hopefully get my body back in shape..

Unknown said...: I can relate to blog slacking! I've been pretty lazy in the blog department for the last while. Come to think of it, I've been pretty lazy -period-. Time to shake it up. Good luck on your training. Mike; April 8, 2009 at 4:49 PM

Why a Running Blog and Why I run.

I chose to start a running blog because I wanted to start keeping a log of my progress with my new found love of running. A friend of mine suggested to start a running blog and I thought what a great idea. Hopefully this will inspire and encourage me to keep improving and to set and reach for higher goals. I am still so new to all this and I am still trying to learn so any help, tips and tricks would be gratefully appreciated. So here I am... I have never been a runner until now. I hated to run growing up. It just plain hurt to run so I never did. Several years and a few surgerys later I decided while out on one of my daily walks around the block to run and see how far I could go. My first time running I went 1 mile and it felt great. By the second week I was up to 2 Miles and still going strong other then a few nagging aches and pains with my knees. From then on I have been hooked. I have come to find that I now love to run. I was meant to run. Of course there are days when I seriously question that statement but I think we all do at some point. There is this feeling you get( A runners high some call it) when running that is an amazing feeling and once you have experienced it you want to continue to experience it. It's when your running and all of a sudden you feel yourself transform as if into a machine. All your muscles are working together as one and you feel strong and powerful and you feel as if you are gliding through the air and the running becomes effortless. It's an amazing feeling that only those who have experienced it can relate. It doesn't happen often but once you experience it you have to have it again. I have loved watching and feeling my body change and transform and become stronger. I am a better mother and wife when I run. You get to experience the outdoors and nature in a whole diffrent light. It's time for just me to do what I want to do and escape from the craziness of life for just a little while to think, ponder, meditate, cry, laugh, sing whatever I am feeling at the time, and I come back exhilaerated, rejuvinated, happier, calmer, and more patient. Of course this is after I recover from the sheer exhaustion. This is why I run!!!
