Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

10.43 avg. 1440 calories burned.  After an alone day of thinking, contemplating, crying and praying over running and personal issues, I came out this morning refreshed and rejuvenated. It was nice to walk outside to a cool temp. and even better when it started to rain our first mile. Wish it lasted longer then it did but it was nice. I ran with Stacie and talked to her until mile 9.6 where we stopped to gu. She then told me she was going to push it so I put on my headphones, cranked up the volume to Disco ball World {David Garza} and it was me and the road. It was liberating to me to know that I didn't have to catch her or end with her that I could be okay with my own time and my own speed. We agreed that that is what is going to work best for us. Running is such a personal thing and I just needed to get over the fact that she is stronger than me and just be okay with where I'm at. Me against Me right? I'm so happy that I have the kind of friends that I do. I can't stand people who create drama everywhere they go. People like that are exhausting and  I have enough to think about. I guess that's why I have the friends I do, bc they are like me. They cant get hung up on all the little details. I'm not talking about running, I'm just saying in general. I'm just lucky, that's all I'm trying to say. Anyway, Happy Liberating Running!

Good job running this 12 Lys! Did you turn left on Plata before starting around the park?

From Lysa on Fri, Aug 06, 2010 at 17:02:16 from 174.52.25.64

Yes, I hate running around the park so I stayed on the road as long as I could. {more shade}
