Running n' Things

CHRISTMAS = REST DAY I wanted to and enjoyed every bit of Christmas. After some miscommunication, I found my precious hambone in the trash.

This is the monster of a hill that I CHOOSE to run for my repeats! After some Googling & math, I think that this hill is a 7% incline/grade.

I was following a 10 week training plan that had 40 runs total. I completed 16 with only one long run of 5 miles before the race.

I say it is 95% my fault because the temps dropped and I was not dressed weather appropriate because it felt so good! Then 5% my kid's fault

Since the death of my treadmill in July I haven't really ran. I checked my Garmin app and literally the month of July I logged 5.25 miles..

I could have done them on the treadmill but quite frankly, this perimenopause season that I'm going through made treadmill running a HARD..

It was a lot of excuses and not a lot of running. I started a low heart rate training plan with my Garmin. It start the last week of April

I battled strep, the flu, avoided major injuries, and kicked off Easter weekend with an ear infection and both ears plugged up.

On the plus side, the pain in my upper back is finally starting to subside! On the down side, I did not read through my training plan.
