No One's Gonna Do It For Ya.

Hey Folks,
Life has changed so much and I just haven't done so hot at this whole blogging thing. I kinda fell off the running wagon, so I've been desperately grasping at any motivation to get me back in the saddle. I've still managed to crank out some decent runs with my running buddies, but I haven't kept up with my weekly mileage. Don't ask me how I haven't hurt myself yet, because it is totally not recommended that you run long distances without keeping a high weekly mileage count. But with spring right around the corner I'm starting to get the running bug again, more like, I've started to enjoy running again. Presently, I have no race goals, but after I build my base mileage back up, I'll consider some races. With that, I plan to start posting my run reports again. I think that was the most consistent I had ever been about blogging - whatever works.

So a short blurb about today's run:

5.25mi in approx. 47:30 that's right around 9ppm

It was an early morning solo run through the neighborhood with temps around 40F. I had forgotten to grease up and could instantly feel some road rash from my sports bra. Luckily, I had gloves with me that I ended up taking off in the first few minutes, so I shoved one of those babies between my skin and bra and it worked wonders. I toted around the shuffle which played some pretty inspiring music. Best of all, I got to watch to sunrise on a beautiful day.  I wouldn't take those 47 and some odd minutes back for anything.
