  • Day 242 | Running and Fertility

    I have been feeling a bit weird for the last couple of weeks. I have been running really slow on my long runs. I have had some pain where my leg meets my pelvis, which reminded me of round ligament pain from pregnancy. And on Thursday of last week I had a crazy head ache […]

  • Day 239 | Hilly 11 Miler

    Day 239 | Hilly 11 Miler

    Today’s run was beautiful but definitely had the most hills I have ever run to date. I went by some water and some farm land. It was a good mix. I’m still running really slowly though. It took me 2 hours and 41 minutes to run 11 miles. I stopped at a campground along the […]

  • Day 214 | Running Has Changed Me

    I have been on a plateau for a really long time now.  I was depressed about it for a while and started to feel a bit hopeless.  But then I decided that there must be a way to bust through it.  I just needed to get refocused and not lose sight of my goal. I […]
