I'm just running for the joy of running, not caring about my distance or time.

I feel way more fulfilled and satisfied with my workouts again. I am about to head into a goal of a yoga teacher training program, but it was really nice to have a break from things I "had" to do for my workouts.

Talk about Hot Mama! I've been taking it easy since the Richmond Marathon to give my body time to recover and to combat a nasty case of the crud. To be honest, it's driving me crazy! I'm not quite ready to buckle down with another intense training cycle, but I am looking forward to some quality time on the trails when I finally kick this cough.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808081760224139673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100819223386190395.post-67204424972490251282013-12-10T08:59:41.827-06:002013-12-10T08:59:41.827-06:00My getting back to the basics is planning my retur...My getting back to the basics is planning my return to the gym post baby :)Madeline @ Food Fitness and Familyhttp://www.foodfitnessandfamilyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100819223386190395.post-61157407175997102032013-12-10T08:52:50.801-06:002013-12-10T08:52:50.801-06:00I think this speaks to what I think is an issue wi...I think this speaks to what I think is an issue with running today--just plain old overkill.
