It's My Running Payday!

We all need to reward our accomplishments. Read here how I reward mine!

My Name is Stephani, and my blog is called Run away from Trouble. I am an Ambassador for the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, and I run with lots of different groups on trails and roads in Medina, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties.

Happy New Year, Peeps! 2018 has been some year. I'm not even sure I want to process what that means, to tell the truth. My last day of running this year was 12/30 with the Trail Sisters:

There were some real shenanigans going on here.

We ran the trails of Sand Run. Marta and I decided to finish our twelve miles with a 1/4 mile long hill because we are just badass that way.Also, I jacked up my knee somehow, so I'm taking it easy today. There will be stretching and foam rolling on the agenda.

Ok, for those of you who haven't read my posts on Payday, here is the gist:I pay myself $.50 for every mile I run, $1.00 for every racing mile, and $5.00 for every PR. I deduct my race fees from this amount, and I deposit the total in a special savings account for my big ticket racing goal.
