Here is a peek into what goes on inside my head. It is disguised as a blog about my athletic endeavours ( triathlon, ultra-running, and most recently muay thai and jiu jitsu). However, because these sports end up being an outlet for an over-achiever complex that I think I own, this blog ends up being a place where I rationalize my issues. I try to educate and inspire in my postings while at the same time making up for the fact that I never kept a diary as a kid. Enjoy!

Shamed
Here's an article that just came in my email regarding running when you are sick. Is someone trying to tell me something?
Short run
I did get out and run on Saturday. That was good.
The bad was, it was only a 4 mile run and it felt horrible, but I think it is due to a cold that my boys have been trying to give me. I haven't had the full blown cold symptoms, but my lungs have been congested and I certainly wasn't breathing right on my run. My heart rate was running way higher than it should be, telling me that all was not well in my body.
I am going to try to get in 4 runs this week. Hopefully my lungs will cooperate.

Help Me! Help You
or better yet, just help me. And here's how. I am going to tell you that I am going to run tomorrow. You read this post. Then I run, because I hate to let people down. See how easy your job was. I'll report back tomorrow and let you know how it went, but the plan is a 10 mile run on trails tomorrow.
