Saturday, July 13, 2013  Tough Run  Runing has taken on new
meaning since I've been injured.  I used to be constantly
striving for a longer distance or a 'little bit faster' but
these days I'm ecstatic to log five miles without pain.  It took
some time to let go the ego and settle into where I am but man I
have learned valuable lessons. Lesson #1:  Ignoring pain for
five months is a bad idea.  My running partners have also
changed over the past few months.  My sweet Rachel ran until her
sixth month of pregnancy but is finally resting up for delivery
and my husband is running so strong that I can't keep up or run
his routes - yet another ego blow but I'm still standing! So
I've coerced some new girls a couple of mornings and I run alone
a couple of mornings.  Which brings me to the tough run... I
just can't clear it from my mind so maybe writing it down will
help?  I was running alone two Sundays ago before my yoga class
and decided to take a flat stretch of road to the base of a
large hill and then turn aroun
