whoa... been outta the loop for a bit

well, i'm back. i haven't even had time to get on and keep you all updated on my progress.
things have been pretty good... i was able to complete my first 25 min run on friday last week, then on saturday i busted my toe and was out of commission until tonite.
i had a pretty intense day and i was completely jacked up when i got home. i ran another 25 min and now i'm excited because i was able to calm myself down and decompress from the day. for some reason this is the first time i have been able to use my run as a way to come down from my day. i was so full of energy and it was annoying and i got to use that during my run and it felt great.
here's the weird thing... i'm improving from a time stand point but not the feeling of being tired as soon as 3 min in. but i'm getting better and i can feel it. my stride feels so much more loose and my legs have more energy. i've gotten to a point where i can control my breathing when i start to freak out and want to stop. Britt has figured out that when i get frustrated and start to... well panic... he reminds me to control my breathing and my pace then picks back up.
so although it's been a while since i've left any words of wisdom i'd still like to hear what others are up against... the weather is changing which has made a world of difference for me. i'm not running with a golf bag on my back any more, so how's it treating you.

glad to be back in the running... hahahaha!
