Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom.  I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed.  I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011.   I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs.   When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time.   After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022.  I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

I felt extremely sluggish today.  I did not feel like running, but I made myself go by saying I could go as slow as I wanted.  My average heart rate was 165, which is less than my normal runs.  It was windy, hot and humid ~ about 20 mph, 75 degrees and 76% humidity.   I was not feeling it, but I did make it the full 5 miles.  Afterwards, I'm glad I did but I kinda feel guilty for being so lazy during the run.  Thinking about doing another workout later since I'm off today.
