Pushing Through the Pain 11-26-2011

Man Oh Man! I woke up...SORE! My whole back...whoa! Legs were just fatigued and on top of that I have a cold and can't breath! Ok...enough complaining...I am not the only one who feels this way; just keep pushing! To be honest, I layed around most of the day trying to update this blog and just trying to get rid of this cold. Then, my boyfriend texts me to let me know he ran an hour today! I was so proud of him because I know distance running is not his favorite thing to do...especially alone. So this motivated me to get out there. I went at dark and it felt amazing out! It rained a little, but that doesn't bother me. I was so tired but I finally found my rhythm. I kept it pretty relaxed, about a 7:50ish pace. I ended up pushing through 7 miles and ended up with a huge blister on my foot...OUCH! However, I felt good and accomplished when finished. I now get to relax the rest of the evening with my family watching Christmas movies...wishing my boyfriend could be with me...these 24 hour shifts aren't always fun!
For those of you who read my blog, I have made it to keep myself on track and also motivated. For anyone who would like to join in on the Tough Mudder 2012 let me know! I would love to add more people to our group! If you are doing it, let me know what your training is like!
