Happy New Year! I can not believe that we are in 2014! Seriously...time is just flying by!
I began the year with our local New Year's Day run..The Hangover Handicap. It's a five mile, fairly flat run along the shores of Coeur D'Alene Lake. It was a beautiful run! It's been a LONG time since I have run out doors and I was thrilled that I ran the until 5 miles without stopping. I even finished under my goal time! :)

My run a few days later was not nearly as fun or successful. I headed out for what I thought would be a gorgeous ( if perhaps a tad chilly! ) run. I learned two lessons during this run... dressing for the weather is critical and stretching is even MORE critical. I thought I was dressed properly for the weather but nothing could have protected me from the crazy cold headwind I experienced on my way back. SO COLD!! I also experienced two extremely tight, painful hamstring muscles. I could barely walk let alone run. I had no idea until I started my workout just how bad they were. The lesson here? Stretch, stretch, stretch!!!
My week ended with a 75 minute ride on my trainer while watching the first 49er playoff game. Great way to work off all that nervous game-watching energy!!
