In the middle of a run a month and a half ago, I just stopped and decided that I needed to stop running entirely.  So I did. 

And then I didn't want to blog/explain because I was exceptionally crabby at that time.  So I quit cold turkey.  I turned off all my notifications because I knew that if I kept reading/posting/commenting, I would not keep to my resolution.  The only thing I couldn't bring myself to do was shut off notifications of updates to my blogs, which is why I'm back.  I feel a little guilty.

Ha ha.  This makes it sound like I'm an addict or something.  Really I figured that I have the rest of my life to run, but I do not have the rest of my life to have a baby.  I don't think my ovaries like running :)

So I've been strength training and biking, but I feel dumb blogging when I'm not running.

I'll be back eventually.  In the meantime, happy running!  I miss you and love you, but I'm not ready to start creeping on your running lives again.  It'll just make me jealous :)

Aw Tracy very understandable...but when ovaries cooperate we would love to hear about it and celebrate with you! I'll say a prayer!

Best of luck to you! :)

Aww Tracy! I hope your ovaries start to cooperate with you! We miss you and can't wait for you to be able to come back when you are ready!

Good luck to you and your ovaries, sounds like you have your priorities correct!

And good luck this school year too.

Your life is your own and you shouldn't let the blog pressure you into doing anything that you don't feel like you should or want to be doing. You do what is right for you.

I kind of feel like quitting my own self and my ovaries have nothing to do with it.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering where you went. Good to keep things in perspective when it comes to running. Good luck!

Hey Tracy. Just dropping by because I was thinking about ya. Hope it's going well.
