    Gonna catch up later, off to zumba, and then a full day of being social ahead, lol. Gonna be exhausted by the end, lmao. Yesterday was 6 uneventful miles and a lifting session. Really happy that I've finally gotten back to lifting, I do feel it helping my running, and I think it will aid in injury prevention. Happy Saturday everyone!

    The sun is out! The sun is out! Such a beautiful morning. Still a bit cold but warming up fast and can't beat the feeling of the sun on your face after the weeks of cold and gray. Nice long run today but lots of hills so it was on the slower side. Good company though and people were super cheerful with the weather improvement. A little refuel here and then I'm out with Stella for some hiking as she really needs some sun and exercise too.

    Have a great Saturday everyone.

    It's been awhile since I posted mileage. The month is progressing fairly well, tho I will admit that I feel more tired than 77% complete somehow. I'm not actually tired, since I just got up from a nap after my race this morning, but still, it seems like there's more miles left than month - tho 39 miles in 8 days is a cake-walk.

    I have the Cantrell listed as a race, but it won't be - I'm actually pacing my sister-in-law on her first 5K (for which she hasn't actually prepared, but we were just gonna walk/maybe-run-a-little anyway. I'm a little more focused on the HM the following weekend.

    Yes - I managed 2 AG places in the last 2 weeks but it's really nothing to write home about: they were very small races. I quipped to someone today, "That's why I've moved up to longer distance races: there's fewer folks so I can rank better!"

    Upcoming Races:
    25-Feb: Cantrell 5K, WR (*)
    04-Mar: Albany/Snickers HM, Albany
    11-Mar: Peach Road Race 10.5K, Byron (*)
    18-Mar: Cherry Blossom Road Race 10K, Macon (*)
    01-Apr: Run 2 End Alzheimers 5K, 10.5K, Bonaire (*)
    22-Apr: Taylor County Race for Literacy 5K, Reynolds (*)
    29-Apr: Running for Ronald 10K/15K, Macon (*)
    06-May: All About Animals 10.2K, Macon (*)
    13-May: Battle of Byron 5K, Byron (*) *or* GEICO/Special Olympics 5K
    20-May: Georgia Jugfest 5K, Knoxville (*)
    27-May: Edge Fitness 5K, Bonaire (*)
    04-Jul: Peachtree Road Race 10K, Atlanta

    Total so far = 93.5r + 68.1w = 161.6 miles

    This week's running total is 37.95 miles. I just didn't have it in me to go for 10+ today. I started out on my long run route, but seriously bonked at just before 4 miles. I ate my sport beans, and they are probably what helped me turn around and get back home, LOL. I just didn't have the energy today, even though it was a gorgeous sunny day of 68F.

    Of course, the nice weather brought out all the fair weather exercisers to the Prairie Path, so I was dodging and passing left and right. That may be why I bonked early. I was just going too fast with all the passing around walkers I was doing. At one point I looked at my Garmin and it said 7:55 pace! What! I was literally sprinting in places, it seems. So, lesson learned. Do not go great guns if you want to make it past 7 miles.

    Also, I think I need a new route. I'm not in a good enough place mentally to be dealing with all the other people on the Path.

    Anyone have any tips advice on outer knee pain while running? I've been looking it up to see what it could be, in guessing maybe IT band. Let me know if anyone has experienced this type of knee pain and how you dealt with it. Thanks!

    I bought a yoga for runners as a Christmas present to myself. I'm go glad that I did. The drive home was so much better. I'm not so stiff in my hips. Ten miles away from my goal. Whoop whoop!
