Yesterday it made a week since I had run. It has been about 8 months since I went that long without running at least a few miles. Now that I am finished training for the half-marathon I have been trying to keep running in my routine. This past week it just didn't happen. I set the alarm twice to run before Michael left for work, but I just kept sleeping. Two other times I chose to watch TV instead of leaving for the gym at night. So, this morning I did it, I got up and ran very early. Each step reminded me I should have run those other times. It occurs to me that when you run consistantly, you body forgets that running hurts so much. I guess the lesson I learned is that if you don't want it to hurt, run more often.
Here is a little video that sums up running for me.

Hey Jana,
It was great to see you yesterday at the pool. Your little friends are too sweet. Once mine are both a little more mobile, maybe we can play with you guys and the Allens. Until then, here is my blog link! Keep in touch!

Another way for your body to forget how much running hurts is just to stop running all together. This seems to be the most effective way for me :) Just kidding, you're amazing. I envy your dedication!
Excellent point, Lindsay. I'll keep that in mind.
Haha! That is really funny! It really is love/hate. Great ad. Kind of made me want to go buy some New Balance.:)
