So, somehow I got byes on both nights of volleyball this week, and I am OK with it. I’m not sure how I am going to fill my free time – I am going to get in some running and some rest! Volleyball has been a lot of fun again the past few months, but a break every once in awhile is still needed. Keeps me excited to be out there, and this week I can get some stuff done that needs to get done before my dad gets here. Like a trip to Home Depot to look at the things he told me to!
Last night was hill training. I decided to look at the course map for my next half marathon (Tyler Rose) and it appears to be pretty hilly. I mean it is no St. Louis, but it will be a good warm up. I have a nice slope just down the street that is just over 0.10 miles to the top. So I ran up (and down it) a total of 10 times for 2 miles. 8:51 and 8:52. Then I did my loop 5 times for another 2 miles. 8:36 and 8:21. I felt strong the whole way.
If I had a computer I would download the song ‘What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger’ and listen to it over and over when running hills!
Tomorrow I get my blood results back for my iron and ferritin. For some reason I always get a bit nervous for this. I feel great and have been taking the pills, so logically there should be no problems. I have this irrational fear that they are going to tell me that I can’t run anymore. I remember how much like crap I used to feel and how a part of me is so into running to prove that I am healthy. This is one of the few things that the emotional side of me out weights the logical side of me, and I get worried for no real reason. Oh well, nothing I can do at this point.
