Got up to run today and it was overcast and a little cool. Wasn't much in the mood to get out there but after pushing through, I'm really glad I did. I did a four mile loop that I normally don't love but it felt really great and was one of my better runs in the last couple of weeks

Welcome to the blog and good job on your run! I am so happy to see another girl on the blog. Sounds like you have a full schedule. Good job finding time for your health.

Michelle,

Welcome to the blog! Congrats on getting back into it. I stated using the blog in March of 06' and have found it way helpful in my training. It's hard to take a day off when you know everyone is reading what your doing all the time. Keep up the good work and I'll check on you every day.

We'll be in Vegas the rest of the week. Mik'L is doing some work for her dad and I'm going to go check out the pool and lots of room service.

Hey Michelle! Clyde told me you are on the blog now! That will be fun. He (and Susan mentioned you had called for my email address) said you tried emailing me, but I never got anything. Let me know if you still need it. You should run the Hobblecreek Half in August with us! I bet you are faster than me, so no worries!

Good job overcoming the mood issue. Inability to run through bad/non-running mood is the obstacle number one for a beginning runner, and I believe the very reason the average marathon finish time is only somewhere around 4:45 rather than 3:30, which is what it would be if the exact same group of runners learned how to run through not feeling like running.

Hey Clyde,

Good to hear from you guys! I have had fun checking in on you to see what your up too. I decided that it might be just like you said, keep me a little more committed if I knew some was watching. So I'm going to give it a try. Any helpful suggestions would be very welcome. So it sounds like you did awesome in Boston thats great! I don't know what family line you got your running jeans from but I'd like to cash in!
