Shortie 3 1/2 miles with Lucy. It was HUMID- early! Took the pace slowly for the sake of both of us... mostly for Lucy. She LOVES trail running with me but can't handle the heat as comfortably. For her own health & weight loss, I need to keep her running to counteract all of the treats the girls & hubby keep giving her. She never refuses. :) It was hot but wonderful to be out! Planning Woodstock, mentally, & feeling confident in a training plan for the 50K, this year. New shoes are keeping blisters off my feet with out taping them--> awesome! Hips are feeling OK with regular yoga. I switched my running days so I have Wednesday & Friday available for yoga stretching. It hurts so good to get those tight muscles to relax! Foot & knee still rehabbing but on the mend. Tune up, next week at the chiropractor will hopefully yield some fine tune relief. All-in-all, I'd say things are going well! -HOORAY! -Planning some more experiments with nutrition & gear but I'd have to say all of the experimentation is finally working on finding what individually works. INKnBURN makes me happy & makes me look forward to what I want to WEAR on a run. "Do I want to make a statement?" "Do I want to follow a theme?" "Do I feel ironic?" 

I was made to feel guilty, recently, on money I spend on INKnBURN clothing. In reflection, there is NOTHING else I spend money on except racing & gear. I don't go to the salon to get my hair done. I don't go to the spa for massages. I don't get manicures or pedicures. I don't buy jewelry, go out to restaurants or go out drinking. I know I spend money on myself... but it's a healthy lifestyle and  mental health, too... I love trail running. I love how INKnBURN has brought me out of my shell & given me confidence "to be seen." I love pushing myself and seeing how far I can go. Ultra marathons-- my next big thing!!!
