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. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

gradual uphill first 3 miles, took off on a trail for a bit and then back down on road. Ran some new streets, I wasnt sure where I would end up but it worked out, back up Falcon Hill and around the hood back home. felt good, did some posture adjustment a few times, wouldnt it be nice if someone could video tape you the whole time so you could see yourself and see your mistakes? Anyway, perfect temp. beautiful day.

Can I just complain about my husband for a minute? I run, he bikes. Running is my outlet. Lately he wants running to be his outlet too, Im all for that. I really am. What im not all for is that I go out and run 7 miles today, which for me is pretty good and when I come home, hes not here. Not here bc he's out running strait up the face of Mt. Olympus. WHAT??! He's not only faster, hes stronger and Ive been doing this for going on 3 yrs and he has been doing this for, Oh I dont know, on and off for a couple of months? I mean really running. He has gone in spurts in the past but few months he has been getting serious. Im just venting. I want to be proud of myself without him outdoing me!! I know I sound like a winey baby. waa waa. Okay, its now out of my system and now I will go tell him im proud of him, bc thats what good wives do.

Runners come in all shapes and sizes; all abilities and levels of natural born talent. Still, I know your frustration. Your hubby could probably beat me today in a 5K if he wanted to! But what's the alternative? To not run? Forget it, I love running. I don't care what the others are doing, I'm happy that I can run, and look to making improvements for myself, and am often inspired by those that can run much faster than me.

Nice 7 miler today.

ya ya ya.. I know. I would rather him run. running is the best. I need to focus on me. I know, Its just that the more I look at everyone around me, the more I feel like a HUGE wimp! okay, now I will tell myself that I am a rockstar. "LYsa, YOU are a rockstar." there, I feel better.
