"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing.

You have to make the mind run the body.

Never let thebody tell the mind what to do. The body will always giveup.

It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

A First Time For Everything

You could say that running and I have a love hate type of relationship. I love a good challenge, just like I love a good run. It's how I sort things out. It's how I maintain self-esteem. It's my therapy. There is no denying how great it feels when a goal is set, achieved, and celebrated.

New opportunities-I don't know how many miles

Just because I haven't been posting, doesn't mean I haven't been running. Running seems to be the only thing that has helped get me out of the slump I have slid into. I have only done 3 and 4 mile runs recently. I started a new training schedule this week. Let me lay it out for you. I plan on heading out at 6:30 in the morning on weekdays, slightly later on the weekends. I will do 3 on monday, 4 on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, break Thursday, 3 on Friday, and 8-10 on Saturday. I will most likely just be posting at the end of my week and recap the weeks runs. Unless of course, something significant takes place. I just signed up for the Hobble Creek Half Marathon in August. Apparently it's a pretty popular event because it sold out in only 24 hours. I feel so lucky to be one of the 1200 runners that has a ticket! I also plan on doing the Pony Express 5K. Emity and I had talked about it years ago but never acted on it. So, better late than never. I am excited to do some training with her, I have been on my own for months now. Mr. Tim(Lucas' pre-school teacher) told me that his wife runs regularly, so I dropped him a note to pass to her, all but begging for a running partner. She responded and we will start doing our Saturday runs together, and more once school lets out. I feel renewed by these new opportunities. Somebody really is watching out for me!

    Awww! Hobble Creek is full. I'll have to plan for the Provo 1/2- but I LOVE Hobblecreek-it is so beautiful and fun to run. My Hillary is running and wants to do a 1/2 this summer so I guess we'll be running a weekend before or after you at Provo.

    Let me know if you want a running partner. I've been walking with the neighborhood ladies and running on Saturdays, but I would love to get my mileage built up again.
