It's Good To Have Goals

This week has been brutal. First, the kids were sick. They passed it to me. Of course, they're better in a day. It took me three days to feel normal again. Yesterday was the first day I could exercise without feeling nauseous. I took Moon Dog for a 2.5 mile walk and did a leg workout.

This morning I felt much better. After a mile walk with Moon Dog, I went for a 5.5 mile run. It was great. I didn't want to go. I've been seriously lacking in motivation lately. I knew I would feel better if I went. I also really liked the idea that for an hour and a half I had nothing to do but run. I've been feeling pulled in a lot of directions, lately. Nothing but running and thinking was what got me on board for my run.

It was a good run. It's weird that February feels like April, but I enjoyed the clear sidewalks. I also tried wearing my compression socks while I ran, and it made a huge difference. My calves felt great, and no shin splints!

I am officially in training for a half. Michelle and I got into the two-person relay for the Burlington Marathon. 13.1 for each of us! It's such a fun day, and I'm excited to take part in it again. I've made a training plan, and I am ready to get myself back on track. It's good to have goals.
