Just like life, running will have it's ups and downs. It will have difficult times and easy times. I often thought that once I got the "hang" of running it would be easier. That really never happened. There will be days and races when everything goes perfectly well. You float above the pavement. You never tire. You have that runner's high. Keep striving for those days and remember to enjoy your journey along the way.

I hope to do one of the races at St. Pete Run Fest as well. I'm debating between the 5K and the 10K. I don't think I'll be ready for a Half Marathon at that point, but possibly the 10K.Bria Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125844590434514719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030784569108572007.post-70426452487168721542018-05-18T14:54:41.874-04:002018-05-18T14:54:41.874-04:00Bria, you are such a beautiful and inspirational w...Bria, you are such a beautiful and inspirational woman! My goal, as I cannot afford a race as of now, is to complete 350 miles between the gym and run group-when I am able, by July 31. As of today I am at 65 miles and I'm hoping to go to the gym with my friend this evening to complete another 5 miles. Yesterday I broke my record at the gym; 6 miles in 42 min. on the elliptical. My hope is that this will build my strength and endurance to run a complete 5k (without walking) by St. Pete Run Fest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849893976915955093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030784569108572007.post-9807368259503485272018-03-16T04:59:33.188-04:002018-03-16T04:59:33.188-04:00Nice!

I feel even <a href="https://www.carbon38.com/shop-all-activewear/bottoms" rel="nofollow">workout leggings</a> are pretty much comfortable for running. It has been a year now that I go for a run every morning in my leggings, never felt uncomfortable about it, but it was good to know about more options, it will surely add up variety in life.Groomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636811880940056663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030784569108572007.post-30649750365410062992017-04-08T14:26:07.198-04:002017-04-08T14:26:07.198-04:00Thanks, sweet Hea!

The minute I start feeling a little better, I go about normal daily activities and WHAM, the pain is back. Patience is a hard lesson to learn but important nonetheless. Keep up the good work Bria!

A few blogs ago, I posted about the Tough Mudder where I was the camera person who took photos of a bunch of friends doing the race. They all looked like they were having so much fun, and I had a blast taking pictures. I just have this strong aversion to the mud part. Pretty much everything else I don't mind.Bria Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03125844590434514719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030784569108572007.post-77902131792688970612016-06-01T21:01:13.461-04:002016-06-01T21:01:13.461-04:00You say you don't like mud runs but have you t...You say you don't like mud runs but have you tried a good one with friends?
