So I guess I’ve finally worked myself up to 3 miles. I ran last night since I figured I wouldn’t be doing anything more this week. I did walk a bit, but not very long. Pretty much ran the whole thing.

OH!!! And I realized something on my run last night. I do SO much better if I let myself go. That doesn’t make too much sense, so i’ll try to elaborate. When i run, I tend to sort of hold myself back. I can feel the tension in my arms and such. Does this make sense (I’m on pain meds right now so bear with me)? Anyway, I found a GREAT track on podrunners that I’ve run to twice now and it sort of trances me out… easy to just get lost in the music. Well last night, I noticed I was keeping everything loose.. my arms were moving and it actually helped me lengthen my stride and run a little faster.

So I am down and out for at least the next few days. In the risk of TMI, I had an endometrial ablation. So there isn’t incisions or anything, just a lot of cramping. I can start running again as soon as I feel up to it. So hopefully got next week’s challenge. I’ll be watching all of you this week.
