My mother always told me that grass never grew under my feet because I was always on the go and never took the time to smell the roses. Well, I hate to say it Mom, but I still can't seem to find the time. This week is no exception, with the end of the school year (including kindergarten graduation ceremony for my twins) our 2nd annual Canada Day BBQ, my in-laws to town, a trip to the city to pick up a few things for the Strawberry Fest 5km Fun Run / Walk, the twins 6th birthday party and my family coming a day later. Who has time to run, oh right...I do.
Every week I get an email from the running coaches outlining the workouts for the week. This weeks theme was, "Hills Glorious Hills". Yup it's time to start training because San Francisco isn't located on the prairies. Unlike my running partner Julie, I don't have a secret passion for hill repeats, I am honesty terrified of them. However, what goes up, must come down! So tonight I head out with Julie and tackle one of the largest hills in Clearwater, over and over again.
In the past couple of weeks I have been struggling with shin splints on my left leg, that's the result of running too long in the same pair of running shoes. Who knew that running shoes had an expiration date? So with everything on the go I must make sure I take the time to sit down, ice my shins and maybe take time to smell some roses.
