Christmas Detox Run-13 little miles in my new pureflows-

-
Christmas has come and gone..
Everything went well
Sunday service was beautiful
My Riley and Molly sang with the children's choir
My Kate sang the solo


Oh but the Krumkake almost didn't make it....

I really needed my mom and grandma-
But with a little help from my littlest molly,
All decked out in her new chef's hat,

We got them done. and they were delicious.
My family back in Minnesota eats them plain.
But Ryan's dad,
That first year I made them so long ago
He just HAD to fill it with whip cream 
Tradition born,
We now fill ours with homemade whip cream- 
Crazy good.

With all that good eating I was feeling fluffy...
I just had to get in a run.
besides--look what my sweetie got me for Christmas!
My sis-in-law Jen and I planned an early morning run

The first few miles were tragic
Sludge running-
Remind me never to eat junky again!

But the company was grand-
We ran and walked and walked and ran
I took her on my route up into the foothills
The hills were harder than ever
Curse you whip cream and Christmas goodies!!!!

Once we hit 7.5 we knew we might as well just make it 13
 And that's just what we did!

Its happening... you can feel it in the air  You can see it in the way the sun hits the grasses on the side of the road Hear it when you open your door and the kids are outside playing It's running weather... I know you feel it too.  That feeling that you get when you have to lace up and get out It's been a while though A long while...  Hesitation sets in, you second guess You tell yourself it's probably nothing Probably procrastination from some more pressing projects on your plate. But I can't shake it... So I ran.  and walked.  and ran some more... and took a few pics to commemorate the beginning of the season.  Running Season.

13.1 Montage

Saturday, October 1st, 2011 I ran my 13.1 The night before, the excitement was almost unbearable. Sick to my stomach excited. Pep talking my way through the course in my mind, I wandered through my day almost in a fog. But this morning, I was calm. No emotion. This has happened to me before, and last time flat scared me. It didn't scare me this time, though, just a feeling of nothingness. I ate granola, drank a small Gatorade, water. I stuffed my pockets with fruit snacks, baby juice box in my compression shirt. Two more juice boxes would be stashed along the first leg of my run to find at the end. warm up walk out the neighborhood- It is 5:35- It is dark. All week long I'd mulled over a route for this run. Then yesterday night I realized I wasn't planning for the dark... I was in denial. I even googled the sunrise, and found the sun wouldn't even begin to show it's face 'til after 6:30, with an official rise after 7. College and High s

Go ahead and giggle—- I did. So here’s a rundown... Because I know you’re curious It’s hot Really hot I forgot how odd the first few runs are You have all the confidence in the world But none of the staying power Everything’s moving Everything It feels weird So you stop Catch your breath Start back up Only this time your earbud falls out So you stop Catch your breath Start back up But the shirt you picked has sleeves And it’s sunny Super sunny You worry about a farmer tan So you stop  Catch your breath... And on it goes Wow, this running stuff is not what I remembered Do you ever feel that way? Overwhelmed because things aren’t going how you thought they would? You paralyze yourself thinking about what s
