Great run this morning, I ran just 9 miles at the river with Jim. We ran so much faster and it was a good realization that I just need to be running at the river- I have such a long stride, I just can’t execute it at Westminster where the trails are tight (my legs don’t recover when they can’t stride out… )we get in the habit of visiting and goofing around and therefore run a little slower, which isn’t the best. My new objective is to run more at the river (which is what my coach has always asked me to do).

My kids are off of school today, so I don’t think I’m going to do my 2nd run.  I’m still having all kinds of hormone issues, so my doctor will probably reduce my mileage even more- I’m going to the doctor today for hopefully more blood work to see what I can do to get my system back in order.
