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

PM:  5 mile lunchtime run in the rain. :)  9:23 pace.  Felt great.  I feel ok running slow with friends.  I just am bad at running slow by myself and anything under ~8:30 pace feels like a forced effort.

Humbling to go from being a decent runner to barely hanging on for 30 min jogs.  It completely sucks but it's so good for me and I know I'll appreciate my talent and take better care of my body if I'm ever able to get back at it.  In the meantime I'm enjoying helping others and finding new hobbies.  It's been so good for me to try things I completely suck at (yoga, spin, biking, weights, golfing, crafting!, kayaking, sleeping, sitting still, watching movies.) It's good for me and I'm learning patience along the way.

From around mid-March to very recently (maybe a few weeks ago?), I struggled to run 8:30 pace a lot of days. Running under 8:00 felt like 5:30 pace used to feel. It's starting to come back around for me now, a tiny, tiny bit at a time, and I suspect it will come back around for you as well.

Crafting definitely deserves "!" :-) All those other things you listed are good too. Hang in there.

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement Jake, it means a lot to me. This is without a doubt testing my patience but I know I'll survive. It is really exciting to me to hear that you are starting to come back because that does give me hope. :)

Crafting is like a whole new world. I bet you didn't know that you can create 5 different dinosaurs out of only a paper plate!
