The Roll Recovery R3

Lost With A View
So today's run didn't go as planned. It was supposed to be 13 miles. I had to skip yesterday's 6, because we all seem to have chest colds. My son was up a lot last night, and I was operating on limited sleep. I didn't feel my best, but I didn't feel my worst. However, around 3ish or so miles, I wasn't so sure how this run was going to work out.
Then I got lost....
I was running a route that I ran with a running friend last weekend. However, I am really directionally challenged - and no maps don't help. In fact, maps just confuse me more.
Anyway, I took the wrong way, but wound up with a great view.

Instead of trying to get back 'on the correct route', I decided to go a little farther and then back track and go back the way that I had just come. I made it back to the main road, and decided to run to Wildwood since I was short on mileage.
Between the sun and just not feeling well, my stomach issues kicked in. Thankfully I made it to the bathrooms, but after an extended time there, the thoughts of trying to make it 3 miles back to the car (and still being 2 miles short of 13), I called Hubby.
In my running career, this is the 2nd time I've ever called him to come pick me up. I knew that I wasn't 'that' far from home (15ish minutes) so it wouldn't be too inconvenient to come get me. To my surprise, he had actually run an errand with Lil Man, and they were less than a few miles from me! Once I found out their location, there was no doubt about cutting the run short. I asked him to swing by and pick me up. Less than 5 minutes later, I was being transported back to my car.
When I called him, I had lost my voice (which I hadn't realized since I was running solo with no one to talk to). I hate to cut training runs short, and with the race about 3 weeks away, I really hated to cut this one short. But I honestly didn't feel like completing the run.
Let's hope this was the best decision, and that I can hit next week's runs. I'm starting to get a little antsy about my goals for the upcoming Half.

The Perfect Night In With Tyson Foods and Redbox
Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.
My family is definitely on the go. In the summer, it's amusement parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, hiking and playing outdoors. The winter usually brings snow (and lots of fun), along with school and sports activities, hiking and whatever else we can find to do during the cold months.
And although I do enjoy the occasional evening out, it's our movie nights (or even days) at home that makes my heart swell with memories. To me, there is just something about gathering together to enjoy time with each other which usually includes yummy food and a movie or two. It's the simple things in life.
With the help of Tyson® foods and Redbox®, life just got easier. From 2/6/17 to 4/15/17, if you purchase any two eligible Jimmy Dean®, State Fair®, or Tyson products in a single transaction at a Walmart Supercenter or Walmart Neighborhood Market, and visit www.TysonFreeMovieNight.com to upload …

Get Outside And Play #YearRoundPlay
This post is sponsored by the Voice of Play
My son will play outside at any time and in any weather. When he was little, my family couldn't believe that we played outside all year. I heard "Isn't it too cold to be outside?" You have to remember that our families live in Mississippi and Texas. And although it does get cold there, most days it warms up during the day, and then repeats the process the following day.
Pennsylvania weather was an adjustment for me in that some days it just doesn't feel like it warms up very much in the winter. But that being said, it doesn't stop us from getting outside. And honestly it shouldn't stop you either as long as the temperature isn't dangerously low.
We dress in layers. We wear hats and gloves when we need them. We keep moving. I try to find activities that will keep us active and moving while we are outside.

Saying Goodbye To My Obsession With Food
Yeah... so last week I said that If I Need To Google It, I'm Not Eating It and that lasted about..... a day... yep... I'd say about 24 hours. Because the reality is, in my life is not all or nothing. Sure, I suppose I could pack us healthier snacks (and that's an area I'm trying to be more consistent with), but my reality is sometimes McDonald's happens. Hey just keeping it real. And sometimes so does a sub from a local convenience store or a slice of pizza. And then once I messed up, the all or nothing attitude reared its ugly head! And wow hello to disordered eating. I found myself just eating junk because I felt that I had already blown it for the day.
Soooooooo... what now?
Soooooooo... what now?
Good for you for keeping at it. If my husband was running he would have kept running, and not called for a pick up....lol!
