A little Behind in Mileage

So I am a little behind in mileage right now. I really have not been getting my runs in. As much as I try I am just busy all hours of the day. This past Friday and Saturday however I played in a Volleyball tournament so that was a lot of calorie burning. I was still sore on Tuesday from it and found it hard to move. I am feeling better today though and will run tomorrow. I am also going to pull the road bike out of the shed and get it ready for Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat rides. I am sure I will only get 1 or 2 in a week but I have to try.

A Rough Week but a Nice Recovery

So I ran my 3 miles 2 Saturdays ago and then I had a couple weeks of traveling and an illness that ran the gamut of nose to sinus to throat to lungs. It was terrible and sidelined me for a while. So after about 2 weeks of very minimal running I was feeling demotivated. The cure of course for me is to race. Get out there and do something fun. Lucky me there are St Pattys day 5ks starting up everywhere and New Haven had one such event, the PLR Shamrock and Roll. I decided the night before to head down to New Haven and regain my motivation. It worked, it was a nice day and a fun race. There were bands on the course and Guinness afterwards. It was no steller performance but it was my second best 5k and more importantly I have successfully regained my focus.

The race was Sunday and already I have put a lift in on Monday, a lift and a run today and I am feeling great.
