Busy season! And let's not forget the marathon training. I haven't updated in awhile because it took awhile to get "running" in running. LOL (laughing at my own pun)

After a month of consistent running three times a week, I'm starting to feel the flow, get with the groove, etc.



I almost skipped the run today. I was too tired to join the 6:10am group run. Then it was raining cats and dogs all day. Staring at the consistent green dots on Strava for the past month, I found the motivation to go to the gym and run on the treadmill. Notice the double run? Because there's a 30-minute limit on cardio machines. Luckily the gym wasn't too busy, so I was able to hop back on after a quick loo break. TMI? Yes!

Next up? I've been debating whether to run a half marathon or race a 10K in a month. TBD!
