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:

I told Kath the day before to just take me out and not tell me how far it was. I didn't have my garmin and she doesn't have one. She just knows the distances around her house by memorization. Anyway, we ran along the canal and then turned around and ran back. She told me at 3.5 that that's how far we had gone. So I was trashed from being up until 2 am every single night talking for the past 6 days, eating like crap and not having run for like a year...ya know. Anyway, This day I actually felt good. Like I was back in business and it surprised me bc I had felt horrible when I woke up. I know by past experience that sometimes when you feel the worst, your runs turn out to be great so we went for it. It was great. We sprinted and then slowed down the last half mile just to change it up and I was bright red and breathing like I had given birth. But the weather was a perfect 65 degrees and it was sunny and beautiful. {a little too hot but I was happy to be out of 20 degrees} so it was great to me. Anyway, I thanked her over and over for pushing my lazy arse out the door for three days in a row and almost felt like crying bc It felt so good. Hopefully...cross fingers..no jinxing..I can keep it up better than I have been. Anyway, I miss her already and wish she lived closer. We never run out of stuff or people to talk about and we always have the greatest time. love her.

Dropped my car off at Big O on 7200 S and 2000 E and ran home. I thought it would be way more than 3.4 but it wasn't. Bummer. However it went like this. Downhill, uphill, slight uphill, steep downhill, uphill, slight uphill, uphill, slight uphill, uphill, uphill then flat home. So it was a workout. I have to admit I had to walk a few times. Felt good. EDN

Only two. So I tried to make it count. Breathing really hard and lungs and ears are burning.. I might be going skiing tomorrow so that will be fun if so. I'm sure my legs will be weak as ever but it will be fun if it happens. Yo.
