Give me back my relish!

Wednesday, May 16th


It's been over three weeks since I last posted.
Not since I last ran...mind you-
Tho the running has been somewhat less than stellar as of late.


Life is here.
Right here.
All around me.
Some days I embrace the busyness of birthdays, school programs, recitals and field trips
Relish the little things - snapshots in time


Other times I see my life as pure chaos, and shy away from the madness that is motherhood
Then feel a little guilty for locking the bathroom door.


Running?
Hmmmm, yes, I should be doing that.
And have...... here and there.
Nothing to write home about.


So I haven't.


And that's really where the problem lies.


Pinterest running boards and Nike tell me that every mile matters.
If that's true, I'm a bit behind on sharing-


So, I'm back.
Back to show you a few things from the last 3 weeks runnings....
Back to tell you the madness and chaos and relish-y little things are so worth this journey-


















And that this journey wouldn't be complete with out a run or two.

You might as well lace up your kicks and get out there with me-

Relish the run!

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

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
