Heavy Heart

First and foremost my heart goes out to the people of Boston, it is such a tragedy and I can't even believe that it happened.  I have been watching the news all day and it gets more upsetting the longer I watch.  I actually know someone who ran the Boston Marathon today but she has posted on Facebook and she is fine, although in tons of pain.  At this point in my training, I couldn't even imagine running 26.2 miles, but I know that it is my ultimate goal, although very far off.  

Today was an easy day for me, as in I took it easy.  I am back to running in my Brooks and I did take an extra day off so I haven't run since Friday and my shin splints don't hurt at all.  I don't know if it is the Brooks or just the extra day of rest.  I did go running with my baby girl Kora today and it kicked her butt.  We ran to the dog park so she picked up her speed at the end and then once there just laid down.  Although hopefully next time she will actually want to take a picture with me.  Today was a good day for me, it was the last day in my Couch to 5k program.  This means that I am officially moving forward with training and onto a new running program.
