So what do you do when you're forced to take a hiatus from running? Read about it and obsess, of course. Well, maybe that's just me...
Anyway, the latest issue of Runner's World has an article about "Natural Selection" (I can't find it on the site to link) that talks about what type of runner you might be. I wasn't shocked to learn that I am better at short, fast distances. I miss my 800. It does make me think I should work on that 5k time, though, since that is the shortest I'm going to find....

A sign of the times
At this point in my running career, I'm dealing again with the significant challenge of trying to continue to run, and stay motivated about running, while pregnant.
A recent run revealed that while I may be slowing dog, my pug dog (Turbo) is finally in shape. He is, in fact, in better shape than I am now.
I find this hilarious. But I also can't help but feel sad that my competitive edge gained after training hard for 18 months is waning, even if it helps me bond with Turbo.

Runners are a little bit psycho
I went to go for a run on a bike trail with my dog recently. I had missed the beautiful, sunshiney morning and was running in the rain after a substantial cooldown in the temperature. I was about three quarters of the way through my run when I spotted something in the distance... and I realized it was a person. On the trail. In the rain.
Unusually for me, I felt sort of scared. Who was this person and why were they on the trail in this crummy weather? I even thought "what kind of psycho runs in the rain?"
Then realized I was that psycho. I was running in the cold rain.
And I passed the woman, we exchanged smiles, and we continued on our way, both of us dedicated to enjoying whatever kind of weather the world may offer us.

Running Club Begun
A lovely couple found this blog and we've been working on getting a club together. If you're interested, e-mail winonarunning@gmail.com to get on our lists. The biggest group run is happening 5:30 on Wednesdays, but some splinter groups are forming other times.
