Run of the mill-

-
Tuesday, January 15th

Been a good week so far

Monday had 8 miles on the books
Done

Tuesday 5miles
Done

Treadmilled them

I had half a mind to not even acknowledge these silly machine runs-

There's something plastic about a treadmill run-

But it's cold- (for NM)
And I'm not in a baconator mood (I'll let ViloinRunning take that prize)
And I am 'running'

Albeit humorous running when you almost fall offfffff the back-
Because you misjudged just how fast an 8 minute mile is---(for me)

Nothing pushes the pace better than an accelerator button-
"Anybody can be fast"-(I say to myself with teenager-like lethargy)
"Watch this---" (hits the arrow up)
Famous last words

Oh yeah-
I was one of those guys
I know---
You really should be sorry you missed it


After a good laugh with the random stranger gal next to me,
I dropped it to a more accessible pace-

The chuckle was fun-
Think I smiled and giggled the rest of the time---
Mindlessly watching E's Golden Globe red carpet rerun---

That was Monday-

Tuesday I needed a laugh too-

Lucy fit the bill
I love Lucy....















I secretly want her shoes
Her dress
Her hair

So cute

I love how every body's always fighting

And the jokes---
My dad could use her one-liner repertoire
To fill out his slapstick routine-

Five miles logged

Random stranger gal compliments my fluffy running hair,
As I pinned its craziness into a 'Lucy-esque' updo, for sake of time.

Rush off to work
Glad and happy.

Hi Heather, Good to hear you're still active even, in such cold weather. I happen to think this kind of weather is considered cold, anywhere.lol!I was ready for spring by the solstice...keep enjoying being young and strong. The years pass quickly, and treadmills are not longer for exercise but instead, used to test the heart. Hopefully, running will keep you young longer. At least until the kids become teenagers. That's when we all start to get old. Keep blogging! I love the fast-paced, positive vibe that characterizes your blog. God bless! Pam

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
