Great job on getting even speedier!<br /><br />I feel the same when I see running for the WOD. Last week, we had to do a 1 mile run with 100 toes to bar (I did knee lifts). We could split it any way we wanted. I did it in 4 parts and for once I was among the first to finish, ha!Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813581612058054899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-23129203730865551212023-04-09T21:08:29.230-05:002023-04-09T21:08:29.230-05:00So many great things in your post this week!

That's such an honor, but not a surprise. <br /><br />Spring flowers seemed to pop early here and lasted for weeks, maybe because it stayed somewhat cool helping the blooms last longer. <br /><br />I used to love a good muddy trail run, now my legs get filthy from layers of dust sticking to my sun-screen-slathered legs when I'm out riding gravel.

You're healthier, stronger and faster than most women (of any age.) I can see why you would be considered "inspiring" by Everyday Health.<br />I love the description of your Wednesday run.
