The 'run in' ---Moll's made me do it.....

Monday,October 29th

I've run a few times since my last post.
A little begrudgingly, I have to admit.

I think it's the season

dark in the morning

Dark at night

Thank heavens were close to  daylight savings
Or I think I'd go mad with all this darkness.

Today- same story
Wake up late
No early morning run

My littlest, Molly (5) hears me complaining
"Let's go to the workout place after school!!!!!"
Is her quick response

Love her for that
Love "the workout place" too, 
For making it fun for her to even want to go


Kinder is done at noon
We drive across the street
(I know- how convenient)

I pick up a magazine as I walk in the door
Never done that before, but I needed the diversion

Pick my usual machine
It's almost comforting to use the same treadmill each time

Nothing like an old mag and a treadmill

























My body and mind are on auto pilot
I peruse and 8 month old fashion mag
I don't even care that it's old
Flip flip flip
Run run run
It's therapeutic


I'm happy
Moll's is happy

Memories are made of this




Oh yeah--- This "happy day" brought to you by Molly!
thanks for encouraging me to get a run in-'sweet cheeks'!

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
