\"\"<\/a> It’s been a while since I’ve checked in on exercise training and that’s because I didn’t have much to say. No need creating a post when there’s not a whole lot going on.<\/p>\n

However things have finally, finally<\/em>, turned a corner with running and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n

I have found my elevation lungs!<\/p>\n

It took a long time, so long that I was wondering if I might have to give up running altogether. \u00a0I thought maybe I wouldn’t ever be able to run at altitude.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago that changed, running got a little easier and I didn’t have to stop for walk breaks. \u00a0I also didn’t feel like I was going to keel over and pass out after two miles.<\/p>\n

Scott decided to pick up running again and naturally he was amazing at it. \u00a0He hasn’t run in months and when I say months I mean, like six months.<\/p>\n

He busted out 3 miles without a problem and of course the elevation didn’t seem to bother him at all.<\/p>\n

Jerk.<\/p>\n

He’s been running with me in the mornings and we’ve been able to get in 3.5 miles most days. \u00a0Hooray!<\/p>\n

I feel so positive and on cloud nine at this point. I am looking to get back to doing long runs and hope in 2013 to be able to do a few races. \u00a0I would love to be able to reach double digits again and complete a half marathon next year.<\/p>\n

Those are my goals along with losing the extra weight I put on thanks to the lack of running I was doing.<\/p>\n

Here’s to a new year and getting back into runner mode!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
