2 weeks

So, this post will cover the last 2 weeks. After the Giants 5k I had a standard week of training. Combination of running and Turbo Jam depending on the day. Then, we went down the shore. At the start of this trip I had the mentality of, "I'm on vacation!" Yet 2 days into the trip I woke up and realized that I don't really get a vacation from training-I just get different scenery. I went out for my first run down there. I actually have a tough time running down the shore. Not really sure why-different routes, different allergens, lack of any kind of shade. I really just don't know. This first run turned into only 2 miles and Jillian Michael's yoga. Next day I did a Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. This is all great but it is Not marathon training. I can't get stronger as a runner if I constantly shy away from a run. Running would have to get done...and it did. Now back on home turf and running is going smoothly. I have shifted some days around just to deal with the relentless heat wave. Today's 6 miler was fantastic. I smiled. I sang. I ran. I did NOT wear a watch. I'm working very hard to get where I want to be. Thank you for the continued support.
