gms training log

[veganlisa]

Lately life has just been crazy and I have let things bring me down. The stress of some things has wiped me out at times and I haven't pushed myself training. But I just spent the night running with the most amazing group of people. It was a great way to get the attitude adjusted I needed.
Amy was great! What an amazing woman. She has been through so much.

Bill -67 years old, 150 ultras, and going for the 72 hour run!
I'm going to get some sleep and then take out some dinner!

Wow, can I relate! And the same thing happened to me this morning with my running group giving me the attitude adjustment I needed. I going to go check out seemyrun.com now.
