Feeling sore in the legs.  Going to take an off day.  Usually I would train through it, but my stubbornness INEVITABLY results in injury every time.  I am resolving to train smart this season, not just hard.  I have Columbus on my mind in October

Legs still felt sore before I ran, fine afterwards. 

Did some light stretching after the run

Ate like crap today due to the pot-luck at work.  No scratch that. Due to my lack of willpower and being easily influenced in an impoverished environment where people don't have the time or money to prioritize their health.

Stretched afterwards

Legs finally not sore and restless

Unrelated but I don't care because no one reads this but me anyways but I just cant get over the fact that i'm being falsely accused of theft.  This is going to ruin so many opportunities for me and i just can get it out of my head and running is the only thing that temporarily helps, but i fear it will affect my running just because of the toll its taking on my mental health.  Trying to stay strong but there's a good chance i'll be convicted since somebody forged my initials. Trying to find a reason for this.  I know I'm not meant to work these dead end jobs forever, I'm miserable, so what could it be? People have it worse than me though so I shouldn't complain.  Just steer the course Amelia, steer the course.

Days Dam with Nancee.  Went really slow and to a walk once for maybe 10 seconds.  Course always seems short to me so may have been 5, but hill at the end.  But the metroparks say 6, so who am i to argue

Was supposed to go 6 but I could feel myself overheating and getting dehydrated, so listened to my body and stopped.  Thats the goal for this marathon. Train smart.

French Creek.  

I miss my husband.

I'm thinking about riding my bike to work from now on to save gas but hope it doesn't interfere with my running. We shall see.

 Did I mention I miss my husband?

For once I was happy for a day off.  Period cramps.  Ugh.  Found out Ryan is coming home Sunday for 2 days or so though, so I'm happy about that.

To the Bay Village Civic Center and back.  80 degrees and sunny... That run kicked my ass. Needed my second wind around mile 7, third around mile 10.  Pretty much gutted out the 2nd half.  Short cold bath after, still feeling nauseated.  But I did it:)
