It's fun to just run, but it's hard to see everyone else's posts, crossing the finish lines!

After 4-5 years of training and racing, 2015 is my year of running for fun. My hubby and I are trying to have a baby so I'm just running for the enjoyment of it and staying in half marathon shape without a lot of miles. At the beginning of the year I felt lost as all my buddies planned their race calendars. I've since added some races but all for fun and have found so much purpose through helping others achieve their big goals for the year. It has been pure joy to do what I want when I want. I am still very consistent but there is no pressure. Sometimes we do our best when that happens. I'm excited for you and Chicago and know you will do great. Fingers crossed for no injuries and healthy miles. xoxoJesica @rUnladylikehttp://www.runladylike.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-83106082610701901112015-05-19T18:44:38.090-05:002015-05-19T18:44:38.090-05:00That time I took off was like money in the bank.
