Today went well. I did not run until 8:30 and it was HOT. I think running at 8:30 is good for me at this point. I am acclimating well to the heat so Dublin should not kill me unless the humidity really jumps up.
I walked one then ran 4, well "jogged" 4, in other words I was not supposed to go too fast. I did pretty well although in that last mile I had a hard time keeping the slower pace.
It feels so good to run! My knee did swell, and is somewhat sore. I iced and will do the double dose of ibuprofen for two days again, but it's not anything really painful and according to my coach this soreness is to be expected.
I am looking forward to Dublin although I am not sure how I am going to be able to keep a "jogging" pace when in a race. It's a test of will I suppose, mental training, something I definitely need!
That's it for now...see you in Dublin

- This blog used to chronicle my running experiences, many of which are inspiring and uplifting. Some of which are frustrating. Now this blog will chronicle all of the activities I enjoy and the inspiration I find here in our Colorado home. Growing up in New Mexico the mountains have always called to me. But Texas is where we moved when we graduated college. We had, after all, to make some money! We stayed in Texas much longer than expected and it was good to us and to our children who were raised there. But the dream was always to get back to the land we love. And so in 2016 we moved from Texas to Colorado and life here has been beyond our expectations. I will try to keep up with writing, if for no other reason than to help me express my love for these mountains the activities they give us.
