It is incredibly invigorating and makes me want to zoom.<br \/>\nThat does seem obvious, doesn&#8217;t it?  Yet&#8230; It is one of those things that I know works but my brain conveniently forgets when I&#8217;m feeling less than motivated to work out.<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been aching in my joints lately.  Yesterday&#8217;s run was a hard 3.3 and today I just pushed to a 1.6 before I started feeling, just, achy.  I have a twang that, if i don&#8217;t stretch it well, starts up aout one mile into my run.  I told Bradley about it and he pointed out that I&#8217;m not doing two things: hydrating after my runs well enough or eating protein after my workouts to rebuild muscles.<br \/>\nLooks like I need to be doing more of that.<br \/>\n***<br \/>\nI challenged my students to run\/walk\/hike a marathon over the next month.  They have until June 14th to log 26.2 miles.  Every kid who does it gets a prize.  I also challenged my families with a mileage challenge- whoever gets the most averaged human miles will win a gift basket.  I&#8217;m thrilled with their enthusiasm!  So many of my kids came back to school reporting that they went out for a run with their parents or they went for a walk all together.  I&#8217;m delighted that I was able to get some people moving!
