I walked 35 minutes before work this morning around my neighborhood, and the 328 squats I did made it a bit painful to walk up the hills this morning, but like you said, there is no choice if the hills are there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-8654463481726623602014-07-09T09:40:05.007-05:002014-07-09T09:40:05.007-05:00It's always fun to run in new places out of ou...It's always fun to run in new places out of our comfort zone. But I'm like you, I get so nervous and anxious before every race I run even a 5K. I'm not sure why this happens because I really don't care about times anymore. Glad you were able to be with your son over the holiday.

Still it must be nice to have that sort of body confidence.<br /><br />Anxiety like that usually means you're putting some undue pressure on yourself because you certainly are not running new distances at this point. I read something in Runner's World recently along the lines of we run each distance the first time to finish. Forever after, we are trying to best that distance in some way. Maybe you're doing that mentally even if you don't realize it. <br /><br />In any case, I'm glad you calmed down and were able to enjoy that race, since that was the point, right?Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-11358181686515402792014-07-09T06:35:16.264-05:002014-07-09T06:35:16.264-05:00Looks like you had a great time together and it mu...Looks like you had a great time together and it must have so nice for you to run with less humidity.
