NEED TO STAY FOCUSED

Wifey Leah and I decided that the half marathon might be a stretch. So instead we're still going to train but just do shorter runs for now. I've been getting sick almost once every 2 months and it's really putting me behind. It makes it hard to get back in the groove of working out when I've gotten used to relaxing. David has also been training with us and doing some reseach on some short runs we can attend. There's one in August as well but benefiting the Fire Department. The run is 4 miles from La Jolla to PB. I think that this would be a great run and to do because it will be summertime and it will have a nice breeze from the coast. I'm excited about this run. I plan on running today so we'll see how it goes.

Need to stay focused....

Friday, May 29. Leah, David and I ran Miramar Lake again. This time we ran the opposite direction. I have not ran since the Coranado Bridge Walk/Run. It's been such a crazy past 2 weeks and I haven't even been out of town. I was debating to run or not because it looked like it was going to rain outside. Leah wanted to run and David and I were still deciding if we wanted to excercise at all. I decided that we should go even though it was cold and it ended up being so easy this time for some reason. We ran most of the way walking only 3/4's of a mile. I started to realize that I'm starting to get somewhere. I have to register in about 2 weeks so I really need to start pushing myself to run more each day even if it's only 2 miles. I'm at least doing something active. It really felt good to finish at the end of the 5 miles and still feel okay to run more. My goal is to run Miramar Lake 2 times, then I'll know that I'm ready. Thanks wifey Leah and my boyfriend for always motivating me. We ran it in under an hour and that's my best time yet. STAY FOCUSED!
