Memorial Day & First Run!

I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day remembering those who we have lost and spending time with family! I was so excited to run my first "long run" since my injury. The rain lately has been so crazy I haven't been able to do that. 

So monday morning after some coffee and a blueberry struessel muffin from starbucks I headed out on my run. I geared up with some cliff energy gel and my new running belt! I cannot tell you how helpful that running belt was for me. I barely even notice it was there. I will recommend that to anyone looking for some place to keep their valuables, water, and food while running. 
 
When I first took off running I was running an eight minute mile. That is extremely good for me. In fact it is way too good because just a mile into it I began to feel it. Also, the extreme heat and humidity didn't help much either! I slowed down immensly and decided that I am happy with my 9 and 10 minute miles. 
 
Over all I was very pleased with the progress I have made in my recovery. I am so grateful for my health and the ability to run. Those 3 weeks without running were very difficult for me. Are you healthy? Do you have the ability to excercise? Take advantage of it now because it won't last forever! 

Here are some pictures. 

My cliff energy gel. This stuff is amazing!

Me looking not so great after my run. I'm sporting my arm band and running belt! Can you tell it was a great work out?!

Then just a fun picture of the double rainbow from this weekend!

What an awesome weekend! I am so blessed! 

Until next time, 

Janelle
