<b>Dear Stella (our dog)</b>, it is not necessary to wake up to go outside six times overnight. You have all day to explore...<br />
<br />
<b>Dear random man on the street</b>, even if you think you are just being friendly, following me while I am running to try to strike up a conversation is not cool. In fact it's a little creepy....k...thanks.<br />
<br />
<b>Dear Fall TV</b>, please start now.<br />
<br />
<b>Dear Advocare</b>, I am LOVING the new VO2 Prime bar. Best pre-workout snack ever!<br />
<br />
<b>Dear foam roller, </b>you are my best friend these days...thank you!<br />
<br />
<b>Dear Target, </b>why must you have such cute things that I <i>have</i> to have on sale this week...not helping my budgeting efforts!<br />

In the world of running and especially running blogs, that is pretty slow. But that run kicked my booty. And I am seeing marked progress.<br />
<br />
I love reading running blogs. They give me motivation and ideas to keep training. They help me to set goals and help me out the door when I don't feel like running and would rather be watching a movie with a glass of wine and some dark chocolate.<br />
<br />
I have decided that right now my pace is exactly where I should be. I am going to keep running, keep training, and keep improving. I'm ok with that...it is enough for now. I'm not going to let other people's faster paces and longer distances get me down...I'm just going to let them get me out the door.<br />

<br />
It was a beautiful night for a run. I jogged the easy half-mile to the local track for my very first track workout. My training plan (Hal Higdon Intermediate 10K) called for 8 x 400m at 5K pace. <br />
<br />
I had no clue what that meant. I googled. I read <span id="goog_144772773"></span><a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/beginners-guide">this articl<span id="goog_144772774"></span>e</a>. And <a href="http://beta.active.com/running/articles/your-guide-to-track-workouts">this one</a>. <a href="http://running.competitor.com/2013/05/training/speed-training-for-beginners_8047">This one</a> too. <br />
<br />
I figured even if I did it wrong...I would still be running. So that's what I did. I ran. 8 x 400m. If we are being honest I am pretty sure it was slower than my 5K pace. <br />
<br />
But I did it. My first track workout! Did you try anything new today?<br />

With a three year old who never naps and an eight month old whose sleep at night is less than ideal, I was starting to get major mommy burnout. So I decided it was time to figure out how to "recharge." <br />

When I am outside running, I feel strong. Even when I am tired, I always come back from a run recharged and feeling great. Granted, I am not a speedy runner. Heck, I don't even run the whole time...there is definitely some walking mixed in...but everyday I am getting stronger...</div>
