Hiatus much?!
Anyways, long story short I may be the only person on the planet who would rather live in California than Hawaii. However, I must say I loved going running on The Big Island. It was really humid and there was normally a pretty steady breeze, so it was almost like air conditioning (Also that crazy person who enjoys humidity)
Buttttt, I'm back in California and I'm so happy to be! Unfortunately, my knee was acting up for a while and I just lost the desire to run and after 2 weeks, it just didn't look like it was coming back. After reading a post by The Hungry Runner Girl, about how much muscle you lose after 1 week, 2 week... etc I was really demotivated to start again in such bad shape (weird how that works right?).
I have gotten back on the horse though. My boyfriend Kyle and I went hiking, to a local spot we've gone to many times in the past year, and we were just hiking the trail and I just had to take off. Only for a short sprint, but I had it. I got that desire back. Even when I get home from work and my ankles feel like they're ready to fall off, I want to run. I may not be where I was when I left off, but that passion is back. And that is something to celebrate! Also, check out the view!

What do you do when you lose the running bug?
How do you handle injuries? How do you cross train?
Where's your favorite place to hike?
