I am a single mom of a beautiful 5 year old daughter who is trying to balance work, family and my love for running. I get out when I can and love to run fast..a little too much perhaps. I have just moved from the East Coast to Denver and so I am still using the altitude excuse...I think someone said I could use it for a year??? :)

drove over to the bear creek trail..good thing about not running much during work hours is that i have time to drive a bit to the start of my run. felt ok..i think i was like 7:37 pace..definetly not as easy as this pace usually feels...but i got out.

have been so unmovitvated this week...am definetly feeling better but lots going on and just could not get motivated past few days...hate that. was unmotivated but also emotionally down b/c i am suddenly not running..my mind and body are like...ummmm...can you do something with us please!? i needed this run soo badly today. i made the plan to get on a trail and just run slowly up, down, whatever...just get out there. it was so therapeutic. i absolutely cannot just go cold turkey from running like this. while i was sick it was not a big deal..i accepted it and was fine. but the past few days..knowing that i could be out there but not getting the motivation...blah!

sooo..headed to deer creek canyon park and ran the trails there for the first time. lovely. not sure what elevation i started at but the first 3ish miles were up hill...i did have to walk a few times but that was fine...a lot of the way was snow packed and could have used those screw thingys (and maybe trail shoes!?) but i just took it easy and talked myself out of this slump i have been in. and it worked! amazing what trails can do for me..so happy!
