I’m back on the wagon. My log rhythms kept getting sidelined and I think the best thing for this busy mom is to attempt a weekly run log update. The first nine days of this year, I have not missed a single run. However, they have all been on He DREADmill. Ugh. Tomorrow morning I intend to switch that up. But January-March I always focus on weight training more to rebuild what I lost (weight and muscle) trying to win first place in the runs before, a solid nine months. So day one was the New Years Day 5k. I placed second overall. Always. Except for that year I needed a toilet more - and won! It was 9 below that day. This year, a balmy 27 degrees farenheight. I was almost two minutes faster than last year. Thanks to diligence and maybe C60? (Great soup!)
I got a cool new running overshirt!
My kids and husband framed a portion of my old marathon medals in a lovely shadow box!
A couple fortune cookies for the new year...
And this year’s lottery number, should we choose to ever play for kicks (I think lottery is a ridiculous waste of money and no one understands probability and statistics who actually plays!) will be lucky #730!
Days 2-9 were 3.2 miles on a treadmill at 9.2 miles per hour. I go for that because before feels fruitless and after eats into weightlifting and rebuilding. I am always shocked at how many people are also in the gym at 4am after the New Year...and how quickly and steadily that wanes til they next.
Happy trails, all!
That's an awesome medal collection and great display. My running medals live in a shoebox! Good luck with your continued running training.

Thank you! I think that was such a kind gesture from the man I married seven years ago. He knows me well :). I would leave all the trophies and medals in a box. He saw them as important. He’s a good man :)

It is often not easy nor perfect. But running and faith and life - they all flow together. These signify what I want them to - dedication, perseverance, labor, training, discipline, and many hours spent crying out to God.
