Running Blog: Frustration Runs

7.2.09

I am a little behind writing about my run. This week has been a little stressful with work. On Tuesday, I was scheduled for another easy 2 mile run. I forced myself to go and once I began to run, my tension took over. I don't remember much of the run, just the focus I had on the issues of the day. When I finally refocued on my running, it became clear to me that I was almost done. It was somewhat saddening; I hadn't been able to enjoy this great, easy run. So, I decided to go a little further, focussing only on my running. What a great end to my scenic run in town. It is amazing how my tension is released after my runs.

I was slotted to run today. I have been having problems with my shin splints, therefore, I am going to take the day off from running. Instead, weight lifting is on the agenda for tonight. I am running in a 5k on Saturday. The coarse is not that pretty, but more or less flat. I am excited to see how I do.
