Running against the wind

I went for a run yesterday not a very long one I would say about 4 miles and it was hard. It was very hard. It was a very very windy day so windy that my hat was getting blown off of my head.

I am the type of runner who like to run in almost perfect conditions and I know that this is silly but that is how I like it. Don't get me wrong I still go if the conditions are bad but I just do not enjoy it at all. I especially don't like the wind.

In one direction the run was no problem as soon as I turned around to come home that's when the trouble started. I had to hold my hat and I did not feel like I could move at all, it was almost like I was running on a treadmill. Not fun, not fun at all. In the end I did it, got home and was glad it was over. no more windy days please!

Back running!

after being sick for a little over a week I am back in business! I am just starting off slow I do not want to over do it and get sick again so I went for a little 3 mile jog at an easy pace today. It was about 44 degrees outside but no rain or wind so it was great. My throat hurts and I am still pretty congested but I am really happy that I was able to go running again. I hope my health keeps improving!

I have been sick!

I have not trained in 6 days because I have been sick! Usually if I get a cold I just go out and go for a jog anyway but this is one of the worst colds I have had in a very very long time. I have been really congested and have not been able to breath well and have had a sore throat. Today is the first day I feel SEMI normal but I still feel very tired and my throat still hurts a lot.

I hate not to go running it makes me feel guilty and lazy but I think I am going to listen to my body and rest until Monday I definitely do not want this to drag on.....

Hippie Chick here I come!

I was not able to stay awake until midnight on the 31 of October so I set my alarm to wake up at 12:10 am so I could sign up for the Hippie Chick Half Marathon. I woke up I was confused, I could not see the computer screen, I could not see the numbers on my credit card and they ask so many questions......

Anyway after many tense moments I was able to sign up.... I am in! In May I will be participating in the Hippie Chick Half Marathon, my first step to a full marathon!

Unfortunately I cant train today because I have come down with a really bad cold, fall, I always get a cold during fall....
