re: Jorntorn

I was back at it this morning, after taking off work yesterday and watching some football. Got up, took my daughter to school and headed to the trails for an easy 15-20min. Yeah, that's right. I didn't time myself or track distance. Did a loop I was familiar with, felt decent after the first loop and went again. Did 2 quick strides afterwards. Started out feeling pretty sluggish but worked into the run and finished feeling that rush of endorphins I miss so much. I Plan on 20ish minutes in the morning before work.

Why are you doing 80/hrs a week. Do you work for yourself or a company? You can't train with kids and work a 80 hour week. I struggle on 37.5 hours a week!

You go girl. Get out the door and don't think beyond the day's run. Some weeks from now, you'll go 30 minutes. That's 50% more than what you're doing now, and it will feel 50% better.

So, past couple of days. Did 2miles on the trails on Thursday. Friday I worked in 300m runs during a circuit workout equaling to about 2 miles. Plan to do 15min today. Still tough to motivate myself to get going, but once I'm done I feel real good

Keep reminding yourself that it's harder to get back in shape than it is to stay in shape. So every day you run adds up.

It would also be helpful if you could find someone to run with from time to time. Misery loves company.
