Mud Run
Somehow I am in week 4 of marathon training again. The goal race is The Windermere Marathon in my home town of Spokane In May. The cool part is I’m running it with my brother! It’s cool having a training buddy even if we are on opposite sides of the Earth. We have this crazy idea to run this marathon and then the Coeur D’Alene one the following weekend. But we will see how it goes. I am once again doing the Hal Higdon Novice 1 plan since I missed a ton of runs last round. I thought it would be wise to stick to this one and try to follow it to the T. But I’ve already missed a few runs due to illness 
Today I made myself get outside even though I felt extremely nauseous…I HAD to because it was sunny and pretty out which is like winning the lottery, because it’s gray 99.9% of the time here in N. France.
The only catch was MUD everywhere….
my poor mizunos
It slowed me down and made me feel even worse than I already did. What was worse was I ran a miserable 3 miles then realized as I was doing my cool down I was supposed to do 4 miles….UGH.
realizing 3 minutes into cool down I wasn't done yet...
I'm Jessica. I am originally from Washington State. I loved Seattle but a mid college backpacking trip in Europe somehow turned into marrying an Italian, gaining weight (pasta and Roman mother in laws will do that to you) and then moving from Italy to Belgium followed by France. I started running with C25K and it somehow became a habit.
Do you bring your camera with you when you run or is it an iphone thingy? I’m excited to come and see you!!!
That mud is crazy…. I’m glad you didn’t fall in it…lol
