Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

I'm starting to enjoy the cross-training and break from running.  I absolutely will not even consider racing again until 2016.  My body has a lot of healing to do.  Right now my hamstrings are probably my biggest ailment but with a lot of TLC I think they are slowly getting better.  Amazing how when one piece of your body breaks down it's a rippling effect.  I feel so much better now that I've just thrown the pressure away and comitted to getting better. :)

i wish you the best. it's not always easy to commit to a break, even when the body has been hurting for awhile. i hope the healing process moves along quickly for you and that you start feeling better and better. i'm sure that you will make strong return to running whenever you are ready.

Hey Rachelle - a couple months ago I was worried my hamstrings would NEVER get better, now I'm already at the point where I don't even really think about them anymore. Keep being patient.. with time and TLC you can bounce back. Enjoy easy paced fall running!

This article focuses on ultrarunning but its very well-written and I found a lot of parallels to my own running, attitude, breakdown, etc. It really struck a chord for me. Andrea suggested we keep a copy pinned to the fridge just in case I start to get crazy again :-)

You might find some things in there that relate to how you have felt or are feeling, and some things that will give you optimism.

Thanks so much Allie and Jake, I really appreciate the support.

Great article Jake. Thank you!
