Juneathon Day 3 and Happy Weather!

After what seemed like YEARS of rain and cold (which is unusual for this time of year in Colorado) things are finally starting to dry up and feel like summer.

Today's run, while not exactly easy, was so pleasant. Warm enough for a tank top, even at 5am and felt energized and happy by the time the sun came up. Drank our smoothies outside under our tree and just enjoyed the morning.

I'm terrified because I'm afraid of becoming that person who is defined by her problems. I'm afraid of being seen as a victim. I'm afraid of saying ...

Juneathon Day 16 and running thoughts

Did the Couch to 10K, Week 5, Day 2. There's a pretty significant jump in running time and I was a little worried. Going to 8 minutes at a time seemed a leap I couldn't keep up with. But I did! And it felt pretty good. It helps that the beginning of my run is more downhill and then the last part is uphill. Sounds weird, but it seems like the easier run gets me warmed up for the tough one and I'm able to get through it better. Anyway, Week 5 is almost in the bag and then there's the Week 6 jump. Ugh.
