Piggies and Bling~

Ran 4 miles Thursday
Almost didn't

Had that inner fight

Having only an hour
What to do?

Grocery store run?
Load of laundry?
Log some miles?

But it was lovely outside
Miles won

I was in a rush
No time to gear up
You know
The important stuff-
Like
Pig tails
Headphones













And taking off this silly bracelet
It takes forever to put on....
Didn't want to take the time to take it off

As you can see by the photo-
That wasn't the best idea
It didn't last long

Now I'm running with that crazy thing in my hand

The run had me thinking
A million things


Tried to focus myself by taking a new road
Ahh the trickery

Made me smile
To think I'd pulled a fast one
On my Psyche

Oh the mind- and it's tricks it plays
Felt good to get him at his own game for once.

4 miles done.
Sans headphones
Pig tails

Clunking around with my bling.

Think I could do just about anything today~

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

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.

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
