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 wanted to try and get a decent tempo run in today because I want to attempt to help Bec acheive her goal of 3:20-3:22 at boston rather than hinder that!  Not sure today was the confidence booster I needed but oh well.  

I did 8.6 miles on the treadmill in 60 min.  Just cranked it up progressively.  I was hoping to finish feeling strong and all yeah baby I kick A$$!  Rather, I stopped twice for about 20-30 seconds each and cranked the incline all the way down to 0% by 20 minutes in and finished with some chub chafe in between my thighs.  It was awesome!  Oh wait no it wasn't.  haha April fools to me. how on earth were 6:30's easy peasy lemon squeezy a year ago and now honesly 1 minute at that pace is physically difficult.  Anywho I'm over it and honestly accepted it a long time ago.  I get that I haven't been training much but it's because I feel like crap running all the time.  Okay end of rant.  Do not comment, I just needed to scream to the world!!!  Somedays I just want to run fast and feel good!  Obviously I'm being dramatic but I do feel better.

I say this with SO much love!! I was at Dr Brady's this week getting worked (he's Josse's guy). We were talking about upcoming race plans and I mentioned after Ogden, I might need a break....physical and mental.

He said that if all runners would take off 2 months off a year.....one 4 week and two 2 weeks at different times throughout the year....that runners would be less injured and perform better.

Now I realize your an elite athlete and taking time off doesn't work well with your mojo❤️❤️❤️❤️ But maybe it would be helpful to your mind and body!

You can lift, bike...anything but run. Food for thought. ((Hugs))

I agree runners should take a break.... But the world would probably melt with our insanity! I really think this is what I need is complete break from all physical exercise but for some strange reason I have the hardest time not doing anything. Why is that?!? I know it would be so so good for me. We are all just a bunch of crazies.

I completely agree with the break thing. David's college cross country coach told him take a week off from everything after a marathon and the following week just do cross training. I have done this and it's a great re-charge. We need breaks more than we think.

I'm on team Toby's comment. Did it sound strangely familiar girl? Lol :-) you can vent it to this girl, I know exactly what you're dealing with. I hope things start looking up this summer. You are a shinning star on the road. And you will be again, I know it. I love when I get to see you and Amber in the mornings. Chin up!
