#run everyday

[a-run-ode]

Just a mess today. I've been sick all week and it's progressively gotten worse and I am not happy when I'm sick. I handle things but usually I'm just so not ok mentally cause I don't like being tired and unable to do my scheduled runs. Especially, this week.. cause I had signed up for a 5K in support of ALS research and it's tomorrow and the 2 times I did run I've been out of breath and my head throbbing in all that sinus pressure. So, tomorrow I'm just gonna go have fun and do my best. This 5K was going to be the beginning of a series of races I want to complete before I run a half marathon in spring/summer 2018. I've set my goals as such so that I'll run 2 5ks, 2 10ks and then my first half marathon in 2018. We'll, I'm hoping to keep up my running and get it to that finish line.

Other than that, I just received news that a relative passed away. I'm shocked and very very sad. They are my parents age and I can't deal with how we cannot control the day we say goodbye to our loved ones. So throughly heartbroken. He was fine..I'm just totally in disbelief.

Its Been A While

Since the end of April I’ve volunteered at the Tour De Yorkshire – All weekend, the IAAF World Championships on the Olympic Park in London. Been to Wembley for the first time and began running everyday on May 22nd. When I go for my run soon it will be day 152 of my runstreak. 

As I’ve been terrible at updating this blog I’m going to make more of an effort to update it at least twice a month. As I…

Run 3

I forgot to post a pic, but I did run today. Mile 3 of 365

WAIT

what if Nike made the nike+ watch/website so they could monitor everyone's running and find the next person to potentially scout for the Nike Oregon Project/to sponsor??

Today's Run

Afternoon: one 9minute mile (the kids I babysit have never run a straight/full mile because the pacer test replaced the mile on the CT fitness test just before they got to elementary school--I had to pull teeth to get them to run a 9 minute mile with me. Surprisingly they still want to be the fastest kids in the 5th grade)

Evening: I did a 5 mile track run at an 8:15 pace, and usually (besides for this crazy week/week & a half) I will run 8-10 miles at a 9:30+ pace so what I lacked in miles I definitely made up for in pace!

Also did some nice ab work, and I'm gearing up for another relaxing stretching session before bed

All in all, it was a good day! :)

Day 31

Today was a really tough run for me, I woke up this morning thinking about running and how much I would love a day off. The legs are really tight from my tough deadlift session yesterday and my 7.5km hilly run. Normally I would have waited and ran later this evening to give myself a little more of a break but I've got a mens league hockey game at 8pm so that is out of the question. I ran 5km in 26:15, this is the first time I walked twice during a run since who knows when. Its over, time to stretch and foam roll like mad. But first things first, heading to the gym for an hour of triceps! No matter how hard my run is, I always make up for it by destroying my body in the gym.

Ran in the Nike Frees, they were the best thing about my run and the only thing that didn't hurt...

The life of a fitness addict isn't easy and your body pays the price, but I still love every minute of it because I have been on the other side and I'd rather be in shape any day!
