HOLY ROAD RASH!
No sign reminds you that you are back in the "running saddle" like a little rash/burn. Oh my, I forgot the pleasures (NOT!).
I joined a new running group, that is more beginners and only meets 1x/week (and the rest you do on your own). Less "pressure" so felt good to me. Of course I knew I would miss the first three sessions but I went last Thurs and we did a hill workout. I really enjoyed it. Perfect evening, nice group of women, I forgot how much I liked this park I felt good and the leader (who runs our local store) so loves running it is infectious. But I had a rough weekend (Mother's Day, so sad) and whatever other excuses I can throw in there. I even volunteered at packet pick up for a 50m trail run on Fri (good people watching!) and that didn't get me going.
Megan (the leader) told a story how she had plantar fasciatis issues, and took 6 wks off to rest. She "allowed" herself to run on Xmas - that was the gift to herself (see, she loves it). After getting over that she is a nut, it dawned on me Sun evening. This is the Mother's Day gift that I am going to give myself - I am going to get my run in. So out I went. I am on a 8 min run/2 walk program, and only doing 3 miles, but it feels good.
Now the objective is to string two good weeks (exercise, WW) together in a row. Can it be done? I have to get ONE done, first! :)
