Today was supposed to be a long run day but I have decided to move it to tomorrow for my birthday. I figured it will be a great way to welcome in another year on this planet. So today somehow ended up being a do nothing day. Hmmm this is not what I had planned at all.
Speaking of my birthday I got a new pair of running shoes sent to me in the mail yesterday. I cannot wait to break them in. They are the Nike Free 7.0. I really enjoyed them last year so I have high expectations for them this year. My parents don't know this yet but they are buying me my first month of Team Rogue training starting next week. I can finally be with a running group again. It has been way too long. Yesterday's workout was a chest and back strength training workout that involved way to many pull ups, push ups and chin ups. I followed that up with an hour on the trainer watching the last of my James Bond movies.
Off to work now and then a nice easy long run (7-10 miles) in the morning.
Great post! Love how you are including your parents in your journey (financially for birthday of course)... and YES running with a group is soooo much better. Those three weeks off from DRC during the holidays was sheer agony. I need that structure, that camaradie, that appreciation - that I can't get going solo (or with hubs for that matter - he only reeps the results in the CK jeans!).
