The wedding weekend took a toll on the daily blog and writing. Friday started with a run then sprint the rest of the day. Picked up my youngest from the airport at 8:30am. So happy he is home after being working out of town for a month and a half. Then work, Chamber luncheon on…

Sunny yesterday and sprinkled on today which was a fun change! Of course also washed my car yesterday. Run today was about the same and I have to admit I am not getting the proper rest and nutrition. Another day averaging a 10:30 min/mi pace. The run still feels good overall. Run happy!

That is what they say about the weather in Arizona this time of the year. We are actually about 10 degrees cooler than normal. Today’s run was around 56 degrees around 7:30am. I am still feeling heavy and slow with an average pace of 10:28 min/mi. I feel good otherwise so I will take it!…

Had an all day meeting so decided that I would need to get some fresh air after. Bad plan. The lunch was really really good and I filled my belly. Not only did I want to take a nap all afternoon, but I still felt full on my run. The fresh air absolutely did refresh…

Happy Monday! I ran early which is the best way to start the day. Start the day with a win and then off to win at work. It was another cool morning and I know they will come to an end soon. This is the coolest February and March in a very long time. The…

Today felt a bit little a Sunday stroll out on my normal three mile run course. The sun was shining and it was around 68 degrees out with a light breeze. Just perfect! Listening to The Power of One More and chapter on habits. I’ve read a lot about habits and my running streak actually…

Today was a very fun, Shot in the Dark, whiskey run. It wasn’t dark, however, we did do a shot! Place 3rd in my age bracket and received the very cool coaster. Bo placed 2nd in his age bracket so also got a coaster. Friends, Heather and Heather who are mother and daughter, joined us…

Morning run again and still feeling heavy. Slower than normal and that is okay. Getting the miles in is more important that the pace. So grateful for the beautiful weather and another busy week. I am living a blessed life. Run happy!

An early morning run and this time in the sun. Feeling a little better and slightly better pace. My right leg has some tightness that doesn’t seem to be working itself out. I will keep the pace slow until it feels stronger. Run happy!

So I opted for the treadmill after work! Ran a nice little 5k with the iFit trainer along a beach in Texas. The nice thing about the treadmill is the pace is consistent and I can speed it up or slow it down based on how I am feeling. The last few days were very…
