Looks like I'm finally getting back into the running routine. I've not really run since the San Antonio Rock & Roll half back in November. It was my first half and an amazing experience; however, shortly before that my running partner (A.M.) hurt her ankle and had to take some time off. It is so hard to get myself motivated to get up in the wee hours of the morning and go run when there's not someone meeting me (not to mention, a bit scary!). I have some sweet friends who were so diligent about inviting me on their weekly long runs in anticipation of running the Austin half yesterday, but with my husband's schedule through the winter I just couldn't make the times. It became way too easy to just not go at all. Yesterday hit and I was watching the facebook posts and pics from my friends running the half in Austin (some for the first time and I'm so excited for them). I was really sad that I was not there to participate with them and cheer for them. I do not want to miss it again!
Last week A.M. was ready to hit the streets. I'm so excited to be running with her again. Have another friend I am running with one morning a week, which is nice. A.M. and I are really going to build slow this time to help prevent reinjury for her. Seriously, we're not even up to a mile yet! But in the next month and an half we're going to work toward a 5k, then a 10k in June with some other girl friends--I cannot wait!!!
Way to go Autumn!! I am so proud of you for getting back out there. I know that you can do anything you set your mind to! Let me know how I can ever help. I'm always rooting for you. Love Ya Girlie!!
