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. :)

I actually planned on going further but it didn't happen today. I have chaffing so bad where my sports bra sits and I forgot to put body glide on before I left. Of course it didn't bother me until I really started sweating then it was hurting. I tucked my shirt under it to help the situation and I'm sure that was sexy looking. Got home and its actually bleeding. But that isn't the only reason I cut this run short. Today I let the mental games get the best of me. waa waa waa. whatever. Happy running.

Got a lot on your mind? We have a lot of catching up to do. Sorry about the chaffing. Ouchy!

Happy chafing!

You're so mental.

chafing is for bad asses. 3.5 or 7.5, still a bad ass. {do you like how I make myself try and feel better for the guilt I put myself through for missing the opportunity to have a great run?}humor me.

and Mental I am. a mental badass.

From Lysa on Wed, Mar 02, 2011 at 15:36:33 from 50.8.74.241

okay. I'm not a badass. But I am mental. And I wimped out today. The first step toward recovery is admittance. Hi, my name is Lysa Smith and I wimp out on runs. Many of them.

From JD on Wed, Mar 02, 2011 at 20:14:13 from 209.183.51.45

Still, you DID run. You got out the door and got it done. And felt better for it. It is better to have had a run and lost it, then to never have run at all. :-)

true, true.
