A Couple of Points...

1) Yes, I continued on with the build-up to the Training Schedule.

2) When they tell you to Rest or CT (which I am assuming means Cross Train), you should definitely CT. If you do not your muscles become quite sore, and you swear that the act of sitting down will cause every muscle in your leg to snap, hit you in the face, and then proceed to wind right up like a cartoon window shade.

3) Those flowers on the side of the road... you know the ones with the purple flowers that look like chives, but smell more like cat-pee... are not a runner's friend, at least not an out-of-shape-wannabe runner who is huffing and puffing their way down the street. That smell is horrendous and deep gulps of it... not so good for the stomach.

4) While I would be lying if I said that I am enjoying this, it does feel good to get out there and run/walk myself into exhaustion. I have definitely been sleeping better, and it is a good way to wear the stress out.

I will try and make the next post about something besides attempted running... and maybe throw in some pictures. :)

Still alive? humph! (you haven't run yourself into cardiac arrest.) according to Karen you will soon feel better with a clear head and better outlook on life. She says if she doesn't run, she feels terrible. Stay safe!
