Running Accomplishments:

I have only done a few races. I acutally ran in the Steamboat Classic 4 miles and the Histio Heros 5K. I have walked in a few 5ks. Not very much, but thats what the future is for right?

Short-Term Running Goals:

Disney 1/2 marathon
Triathalon
Become healthier

Long-Term Running Goals:

Im not really interested in competing in a marathon, however would be very open to doing the Disney Half. I would consider the full marathon i guess..... :) I just would like to be healthy my whole life!

Personal:

I am not married, however i do have a wonderful, supportive boyfriend that i hope to be able to call my husband one day. I do not have any children, however, my boyfriend and i do have a cat that we refer to as our "fur baby". I am the assistant director of a before and after school program and so sometimes i feel like i have about 36 children. Luckily i can send them home at the end of the day! I am beginning to enjoy being more active and i do like to ride my single speed bike! I also enjoy dancing (ballet classes soon!) and swimming, vacationing is also at the tops of my list.

My educated decision turned out to be wonderful! I was able to rest my ankles for another day and i felt GREAT today! I even ran longer then i usually do....from 2.00 to 2.30. Not a huge inprovement but i would consider it a success!! A little chilly today so i had to wear my long sleeve shirt and a windbreaker vest. Luckily my boyfriend works at Pearl Izumi and i can score awesome clothes for very little money! Bonus!

I went to the chiropractor today cause i have alot of tension in my back and what not but today i always had very stiff ankles, in sure due to taking up running again and also starting ballet. So he did some adjustments and i asked him what he would do. I have to train today. He said that as long as i have good shoes (which i do) that i should still run but to keep it short. I was happy about that cause i didnt want to just skip it all together but i didnt want to go full out and make my ankles tight again. I think ill take it easy today and then thursday it will be back to my normal schedule! Well, i made an educated decision not to run today and to just pick it up tomorrow. :)

Great run again. Didnt want to go....kinda like how i always never want to go...but i did and im glad i did. Nothing makes you feel worse then knowing that you have to run and then giving into yourself and not going. Its almost enought to be a little depressed about. So i just avoid that and run....except if there is a really good reason like i was sick or something but that hasnt happened. Hope everyone else had a good day too! Melissa
