I just love how a good hard run can totally reset me from the inside out. It's such a blessing to have this outlet that helps me to regroup, refocus, and rejuvenate.
I've been trying to get between 25 - 30 miles in each week, though my average is about 28 right now. I'd like to have my base at 30 so that I can feel like I am ready for a bigger run without much notice. I set a schedule to run 5 days, but usually miss one for one reason or another.
I have been working the core, not as hard as I had planned, but I am still seeing some nice results. I feel stronger on my runs and I think that my pace is getting a bit faster as well.
I am planning to run Rocky Hill next weekend, then Hog's Hunt. After that, I am going into building mode until the fall. I hope to run the Huntsville Half, a distance I've yet to try. I'd like to see if I can carry a quicker pace for that.
As Spring begins, I find I am yearning to get out more often. I am setting a more definite schedule that hopefully will allow me to get the training in without much strife to the family life.
Next update will probably be after Rocky Hill!

Yay Huntsville Half! ;)
I really like your blog, after I wandered on in after you posted to mine. I also use running for personal renewal and meditation time, and lately for self-therapy to deal with some of the recent events on my life.
I love you below the Blog title message. Staying healthy for the future with my great-grandchildren is also a wish of mine.
Good luck at Rocky Hill, I'll say a prayer for you going into the weekend.
Good Luck at Rocky Hill!!!
Good luck at your upcoming races! Can't wait to read all about them!
