so far so good

Two days into spring break and I have much to be proud of...
3 big huge runs a strenuous bike ride and ridiculously warm weather


My only complaint is that my times are not great.  I guess I should forget about my times.  It was slower than I would like but still fast for most people. 


Life is great friends.  enjoy spring break

dental care

I have been running with a constant toothache for 8 days.  It has been addressed by the dentist but the sinus infection diagnosis is not doing me any good.  I am still in pulsing pain when air or cold reaches the tooth.  It is the kind of pain that stops me in my tracks and makes me want to crawl in a ball and tune out.  

Why is this reaching my running blog?  Because it is now effecting my daily routines.  I have had to quit on workouts way too much.  Eating and drinking are chores and I am just fed up with being in pain.  

I am going to tough out until spring  break.  

I am running a 10K this Saturday and am praying that I can do it without pain....please please please.

fake it until you make it right?

coaching

I love coaching.
2 weeks in and I am totally hooked. 
I cannot even describe just how rewarding it is to work with students on a talent that I love. 
It amazes me when they push themselves and makes me want to be an example and leader even more.
love it

5am

Just ran outside at 5am for the first time since November. 
Loved it. 
a little on the cold side...but easily manageable. 


Today is also the first day of track season.  I am coaching jr. high track.  I am excited to run with my kids...except I am aware that I will probably be doing more with a clipboard and directing...

no races planned

I can't believe it.  As of this week, I have no races planned.  
You know, once in a while it is good to just go with the flow.  Right now I am going to ride out the rough spring with my own spin on the daily workout.  I'll be running along with my jr. high kids as I begin coaching track next week.  I'll slowly make the transition to running outside--on days that are not windy--.  I'll start P90X with the hubbs.  Just takin it easy until the blazing hot weather shows up again.  ahhhhhhhhhh I dream of it.
