It has been a long crazy road the past year and I have not done much running at all. I'm back--I think.
I stopped running for a few months from a combination of sheer exhaustion (Lyme will do that to you), a relationship gone wrong, shin splints and work blowing up (in a good way:).

The shin splints and relationship are long gone. I'm still dealing with a whole lotta tired though. After taking several months off of running (and right when I was getting into my groove and doing 10-15 mile long runs and feeling good about it, too!) I started off with baby steps two weeks ago: I've been doing a few run-walks for under three miles.

Today I ran three miles and I felt really good during it, too. Afterwards, I had that crazy lyme-tired that knocks me on my ass and smothers me. Maybe I pushed myself too hard? I'm going to try another 3 mile walk-run again tomorrow evening. Maybe I'll take it a bit slower.

I did have a reiki session after the run. Aaaaaaah! better than slipping into a hot tub after a long snow-day! Just absolutely heaven. It worked all the tension out of my legs and relaxed my jaw. I feel renewed now.
