Let me start this by saying I ran 20 miles yesterday and hit the gym. Oh, and my glutes (my butt) hurts like hell. I called Andy from work today just to say hi, I mentioned him and I running together (on treadmills) when he got home (to encourage him to workout-having a buddy). But tonight, he was my running buddy. When he got home it was to find me on the couch (by this time I'd already eaten a bowl of cereal and oatmeal. (Yes, I'm a glutton). As I'm laying on the couch hoping he doesn't mention the dreaded word he comes out of his closet wearing.........running clothes. Ugh. He asks me if I'm ready to go to the gym. I can't say No, I'm the athlete, right? So I changed clothes and trudged downstairs to the gym. Got my butt on the treadmill and pounded out the miles. And now, I feel so much better.
I know that training even on days when I feel like crap are important. This is one of the reasons I miss my girl Kelley so much. And today Andy was my saving grace. Thanks babe.
About Me
- Renee High
- I grew up in Franklin, Kentucky. I moved to Virginia Beach in 2003 and in 2004 I met the gang at Final Kick. Final Kick quickly became my home away from home. I ran my first marathon in 2005 (Shamrock Marathon). It was one of the most painful and amazing experiences of my life. I ran a 3:07 and I crossed the finish line with bloody heels (the right socks are so important). I couldn't wait to run another marathon and I choose The Richmond Marathon. I loved this race and it's still one of my favorites. Shamrock 2006 was my breakout race. I won it in a time of 2:45:40 and I was ecstatic. I also qualified for the trials with this race. Over the next couple of years I graduated from Nursing school and then eventually received my Master's in Exercise Science. In 2010 I raced the Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:45:26 and again qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials. This was an amazing day for me. And I can't wait to race in Houston 2012
