I'm just going to press on and try to train smarter. Runner's World posted some good strength training exercises to do to keep injuries at bay, so I'll try those. They include jump squats, planks, burpees, and mountain climbers.
This morning Daniel didn't have to go to work, so I took my run to a trail here in Dothan. It seems like the only times I go to this trail are when it's raining, so there are always tons of puddles to navigate through. There are also hills, which are not my best friend. Obviously I go slower on the trails, which brought my average pace to around 11 minute miles. I did 3 miles, and there was a hill on the last tenth of a mile. I often read on girls' instagrams how they dry heave during tough workouts. This one wasn't too tough, but I almost dry heaved at the top of that hill. I feel like a real runner now!
My knee hurt a little during my run, but it hasn't been too bad since. I'll just keep on plugging along, and trying to keep my mileage low, except for my one long run each week. Now if I could just get my nutrition under control.
I don't have any pictures to share with myself, so I'm going to post some funny running memes.
I have a friend from high school who runs, and this made me think of her. Actually, she can't do anything without telling Facebook or Instagram allllll about it.
I love this. Really, this is so true for me. All I've wanted to do for a long time is run, and something always seems to get in the way.
This is me most of the time.
This too...
And one more, because I love Napoleon Dynamite.
