Thank you Stacie. I would have never gone that distance if you didn't call me. I ran 5.5 with Stacie and then she went a different way to visit her sister. I thought I was only at 5 going on 6 when I got to the light. {probably bc I was lightheaded from the hill.} :) So I ran around the hood to make it 6 when I soon realized that I was actually making it 7..so I just kept going to 7. My body was done though. Holy Crap. I am so out of shape its not even funny. And for real this time, It's not funny. 

Got home and had 3 texts from my daughter who has mono. wanting to come home bc her head and body hurts. FREAK!! I thought I got to be alone today. Oh well. At least I got the most important part of the day done before I had to go get her. I feel so bad for her. But I'm so grateful its only mono and not something more serious. I had convinced myself she had leukemia. I guess I'm just paranoid bc of my nephew. You always think It can't happen to you, and then it did happen to us so now I think It will. I'm rambling..Bye. Good Times. And thanks again Stacie. Wish we could do that everyday. It was fun!! 

K. that was hard. I felt like I couldn't catch my breath the entire time and my body is out of shape. I've been dealing with winter allergies for about two months now. I never had allergies until a few years ago. Sneezy, itchy, watery eyes, stuffy nose. I blame the air. But I refuse to treadmill when the temps are what they are and the sun is shining. 

I'm going to do some weights to make up for my lack of being able to run. Good Times 

Felt better than yesterday. I ate a lot of protein yesterday and zero sweets so that's good. I was hoping it would make a difference for today. I think it did but Its just going to take me a little bit to get back in the groove. It was freezing when I started but when the sun came out over the mountain it got really warm. Had to ditch the gloves and jacket. Lovely run overall. 

No run today. Daughter home this morning, metting with career counselor for other daughter and then Costco. Which was PACKED! What's up with that? Christmas is over! Busy afternoon so that's that. Beautiful weather today. Hope you enjoyed your runs!

Felt pretty good today. I didn't think I would bc I woke up kind of tired and ornery. But like always, a run was just what the Dr. ordered. Happy day. Good times. 

TWO sick kids at home. And a dermo. apt. for me. No run today. But I plan on eating healthy. 

Felt crappy and heavy. 

Ran from the mouth of little Ctwd to home with Stacie. Ran around the hood to make it 6. Good times. 

Felt pretty good. I ran up NC and then back down WillowHills. I love running down after running up. I feel so strong on the down. :) Ran by an old man taking out his garbage and he said with a big smile on his face "Keep up that running so you don't waste away!" It made me happy. Good Times.

sick since Fri. bugged. 

three on the treadmill

Still don't feel awesome but I can't resist the warm before a storm. It's one of my favorite times to run. Did a lot better than I thought I would, ran up the hill on Falcon and kicked its arse. That felt good. So good times. Nothing feels better than knowing you had a decent run. 

Extra hard today, went really slow. Got it done. 

Rain and a bit of wind from the South. At one point there was a big gust that pelted rain in my face & it hurt! ha! But not too bad. Better than the treadmill. 

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.  

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

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

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. 

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. :) 

Slow hilly run. Went up NC, past buffalo, down AC then over to Viscounti, up 8600 then around the hood to make it 8. 10:31avg. Felt pretty good the whole time but I was taking it easy. 

JD has me thinking about the salmon marathon in Sept. But I'm just thinking right now. Not committing yet. But I do like the looks of it.
