Good Times.

Today wasn't nearly as awesome.  It looks like it would be really warm out there but there is an arctic wind that is cold. My ears were cold. Since I knew I was only going 3 I tried to make them faster. That part felt good. I ran by an older woman, probably in her 60's and she was trying to run. It was more of a fast{?} walk but she was making the motion of running. It was awesome, I told her "good job!" She got a big smile. Good times

Going skiing tomorrow. Didn't use my skiing muscles at all last year so I'll probably be pretty sore. :) 

So today felt amazing. There are about 3 or 4 days out of the month that feel great, and they have everything to do with my hormones and cycle. {sorry JD}So I'm wondering if there is a pill for this. :) {I think I have mentioned this before so sorry if I'm repeating myself}  I want to feel this good the majority of the time not the minority of the time. The majority of the time my runs are a struggle. I mean I know running is hard and its supposed to hurt and that's why we like it, but I wonder if other women feel good the majority of the time and only have those 3 or 4 days of the month that hurt and are horrible. I don't know the answer to this bc I can't get in someone elses body and feel what they are feeling. I wish I could see how Stacie feels when she runs so I could compare myself to it. Anyway, I don't mean to ramble. This thought just consumed me today. I felt soo good and I love that!

Also I ran up a few hills today. My arms always tingle and go numb when I do this. Does that happen to anyone else or is that just another weird thing I have..

I didn't check my garmin at all throughout this whole run. I only listened to the alarm of another mile passing by but didn't check the speed. That is liberating. When I got home I saw that I wasn't going very fast. :) Oh well. It still felt great.  Good Times. 

Taking daughter to the Dr. day. Then visit friend who had surgery day. Smiley face. 

Slow going. Shoveled the driveway. Arm weights. lunges/squats.

Kind of a ridiculous run. I decided to torture myself a little and run up Falcon and down NC. But I got a side ache at the top of NC and it pretty much stayed with me the whole way home. It was really bugging me. I stopped a few times to stretch it out but as soon as I would start running again, it would come right back. Then my calf started hurting and my hip flexor. What the crap? Have I gained that much weight that my body is falling apart? Reality check. 

p.s. I haven't showered since Saturday.
