Hi all,
I have been MIA since sometime this past summer. After my move I got very discouraged by the hills surrounding my new home. I couldn't run nearly as far without feeling completely fatigued and out of breath which caused me to drastically cut back my milage. Then I sort of just got to where I didn't go. I was still walking, barefoot until it got cold and then in VFF's, several times a week and have been going to yoga classes as well, but I pretty much just stopped running.
I finally decided I miss running, at least my very slow version of it, and that I am not going to let the hills around here beat me. So, as a result, I have started the couch to 5k program all over again. I also just signed my daughter and I up for a 5k mud run at the end of March to keep me motivated. I'm a tightwad so spending the money on it means I will go. lol
I am on week one, day two. I found a new podcast that isn't all techno music which makes me very happy. I hated the techno stuff when I did the program last year. For now I'm running in VFF's since I don't do well with any type of cold, but am looking very forward to warmer weather so I can comfortably run barefoot. (even though it isn't really all that cold here in So Cal compared to the rest of the US)
I hope everyone has been well and I look forward to catching up.
Cali
