Despite some strange pings in my lower back and my feet feeling a little flattened, week 1 of "worst time to start a training plan ever" went well. Personally, I'm struggling with some work-related issues (which now comes out to those around me as "blah blah blah blah"), but running has helped me feel a little grounded again. I forgot how much I missed having something else to focus on. It's an added bonus that that something else is me and the growing wee one, who is likely relieved to get away from meetings or her sister yelling "Hello baby!" through my navel.
My goal was to get out every other day; I managed 3 good "runs", none this weekend thanks to persistent rain and persistent parenting requirements, but am heading out before work tomorrow to see if I can find some zen before she who is forced to go everywhere with me is subjected to another bath of stress. The only thing that didn't feel good was the treadmell; it wasn't nearly as smooth as the trail, so that's where I'm headed.
