Okay, it's been a while since the last posting, but things were a bit hectic. The good news is that the running stayed in place and continues to progress. I'll pat myself on the back and say I've been good about making it a priority. And, I guess it's a relatively easy thing to make as a priority because I enjoy it, but I do tend to push it aside when things crowd in.
Anyway, I wanted to keep hills as an integral part of my training and although I haven't done a specific hill workout in the last two weeks, I have intentionally run some particularly hilly routes and have made an effort to not slack on those sections. The other day I was running with my brother and he started to pull away from me on a hill (not totally atypical) and I said, nope, and made an effort to fight my way up it. So, the strength part is coming along and I think my calves and achilles are benefitting from it and hopefully it should help me stay injury free.
The weather has been pretty good for running...relatively warm afternoons and the rain seemed to be strategically timed this past week. It will stink a bit when the clocks get set back next week, but so it goes.
What else...oh, I left off a while ago saying I was going to continue with a train of thought about why this time around I feel different running. I'll get to that in the near future...
