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.

Weights - shoulders, biceps, upper body. 45 min

1 hour run down to the river trail and then back up to the gym, 7:53 pace. Second day in a row running by myself....so boring! I'm pacing 1:35 at the Hobbler Half tomorrow. I honestly hope I can hang! My speed is basically nonexistent at this point.

Great article by Runners Connect yesterday. I love the 4 takeaways and really needed to hear #1 especially since I've had a really crappy running year.

1. Accept the ebb and flow of your running career

"It is extremely rare to have a running career in which every year boasts improvement."

2. Accept the decrease in speed that comes with aging

3. Focus on your own hard work rather than anyone else’s race results

4. Be Brave

“courage is not the absence of fear, but the realization that something else is more important than that fear”.

So, take joy in the struggle and the sacrifice it takes to be a runner. It’s part of what makes this sport so wonderful.

Great article! Double great on the lifting! I am always so tired when I lift.....way more than running. Way to get it all done :)

Good luck on the race!
