Starting week 3 late....

I was going to start my C25K week 3 day 1 and I am ashamed to say I let my head and mood get in the way.  It has a 3 min running segment and I am not looking forward to it.  Today I was super cranky and probably means I would have benefitted even more from a run but alas I didn't run. Making this 3 days between runs. From past experience, I know how bad and hard hat makes the next run.  I did spend some time writing more of my book and that means going over pat runs on my way to my half marathon last year and I just wrote about the Beach to Chowder 2014 and I can't believe it has been 2 years since that run.  How can 2 years have passed already?  This was the point I started to love how running made me feel. It was only a week or so after I experienced my first runners high and I realized fully how this activity could make me feel.

Also this week has been the week of STP's past. For the last 4 years Hubby has done the Seattle to Portland bike ride and this year has been the year of laziness for all of us. No STP for hubby and no running events for me.  Hubby was expressing how he missed the STP this year and how it is what kept him motivated to ride more than he has.

Hubby finishing STP in one day last year.

It is his thing, It was his crazy thing that he signed up for that the really felt like he didn't know if he could do it or not. He said once he did it, it was such a confidence boost and he really does enjoy the event. None of his normal group that has done it for the last 4 years did it this year and I can tell they all are kind of bummed seeing the pics come up in time hop and Facebook memories. 

Between him missing his STP and me reading the Beach to Chowder and reliving the first moments I started to feel like running was my thing. I now miss having a thing that was kind of my thing.  Facebook was full running and biking posting this weekend between the STP and the Ragnar relay NW passage. And we are feeling left out.
