I did not end up running today. I woke up at 5:30 and did my Jillian Michaels Kickboxing. I use it when I'm in a slump.

It has been 3 weeks since i have ran regularly. I figure I would write my thoughts and feelings on here since I'm sure friends and family are tired of hearing me say, " I need to run" And then it doesn't happen.

Today the plan was to run after school. That didn't happen because the headache I woke up with never went away and only got worse. Moving made it hurt more. I tried to nap it off but that did not work and so then I went to work.

I just realllllly need a schedule. I need help. I joined an LRS run group and that seems to be about the time I fell off the wagon. I did well through the coldest parts of Jan and Dec...and Feb was just pathetic!

I looked at the last few weeks and decided on Tuesday I may want to only do 3 miles...the last few weeks I ran 4-5. and then on Wednesday I am in school from 8am to 1030 pm...needless to say by thursday I'm so tired and I just giv up for the rest of the week...So tomorrow I will only run 3 and see how that works.

I'm taking 19 credit hours this semester and working nearly full time hours. I have asked them to cut be back at work (yes the money has been nice) but I need my running!  so they have be at 4 days this week. I think that will help a lot!

 

Well that is all I will share for now!

Welcome to the blog. A friend of snoqualmie is a friend of mine.

Don't try to run too much as you get back on the wagon. Just do what you can and feel good about what you do.
