I had to take a two day break from running after my long run on Saturday, as I mentioned previously, my wife was sick with pneumonia and in the hospital until Monday night. She’s doing well now, still sick, but at least she is home and recovering. This did give me the opportunity to relax a little bit and rest the legs, however I did get back to running again today, I got 6.5 miles in, plus did weights. It felt good to get back in the groove again ..

I do find that running is like an addiction, I was going through withdrawal from it and actually got depressed because i couldn’t run. I had to miss my race on Sunday, so that bummed me out, but I have to put priorities first and i didn’t feel that anybody would babysit for me. Anyway, I just wasn’t myself until I got that run in today, i’m all refreshed and ready to go out early tomorrow morning for a run.

The countdown to training is less than 2 weeks away … i’m excited, but I know its a long road to Steamtown.
