Long time coming

  Well folks, it's been a while.  Literally have not posted since the beginning of summer.  I think my failure at Dam to Dam was a set back for me and took the wind out of my sales for a bit.  I know, I was injured and all, but it just wasn't all that I had dreamed of.  I kept running, but not nearly the miles and the training that I had been doing.  Well, I have been careful to take appropriate rest days, and I feel like I'm back.  I am back to actually loving my runs and being happy with the fact that I am running and not so stuck on winning and pace.   I have won or placed in several local races, so it is exciting to see my iron medal holder getting a little attention.  I have recenlty been loving my outside sunset and sunrise runs.  I was careful for a long time not to run 2 days in a row, but I am slowly working back to more.  As always, reading posts from others and following the trials of other runners motivates me.  This is the reason I am posting today.  If this 40 year old mom of 5 could help motivate anyone to get started, then it's all worth it....Happy Running all.
