@nascfan Yes!! All the foods for this trip!!!!
Then it will be buckle down and focus on my health again! I’m so glad you and Lauren both have nice neighborhoods to walk around!!! @RIDisneyPinGuy Wow! That was definitely a workout! Thank you for all you do!
@nascfan @eeyorepoohfan Thanks pals
the race isn’t local, it’s an hour and a half away which initially put me off. But my friend encouraging me, the good cause it supports, and the amazing medal they keep showing off, pushed me to sign up 
but I may regret this 
@bexruns You had a good time and that’s what matters most! I totally understand your frustrations though. I did great on a 5K in December when I thought I’d do badly, so then I was pumped to do just as good on a 5K in January and I did worse so I was really disappointed. It happens@10dedfish Happy to hear Abby’s meds help her.
Good luck this weekend!@starbee one foot in front of the other for that 10K! So exciting! Good luck!!
@bexruns nice medal
I need some bling!
@missingwdw your struggle days are so much faster than I can ever dream!
But not discounting how you felt, you did great! Struggle days are tough on ourselves but you were out there and you did it. You should be proud of yourself, I know I am of you! I’m so ready for warmer temps too! We’re hoping to get outside Thursday after work with the kids!@nascfan my pace doesn’t bother me at all! I’ve had my strongest runs pacing 10:30-10:40/mile. This just wasn’t a strong run. Hate that feeling of struggling.
But, yes, I was out there and got ‘er done! Even the struggles feel like an accomplishment!
I opted to break from my usual routine of paced workouts to just do a 1-mile distance run after work yesterday. Temps were in the upper 40s, but trying to run a straight mile up and down a hill on grass and trail was freaking HARD!!! Mostly it was hard on my respiratory system…like the whole thing! Heaving that cold air caused some lung discomfort which I still have this morning and my teeth were in great pain too. Despite all that I ALMOST ran the whole thing. In my last quarter mile I had to walk for about 30 seconds because it felt like my chest was about to burst (think Alien).
For my 1 mile run I finished at 9:56 which ties my last 1-mile trail run, but compared to my 8:41/mile pace in the 50s over flat and paved neighborhood roads in South Jersey, you can see how much a difference temperature and terrain makes.
