New do and RazzyRoo!

-









It's amazing how fun a run can be when you have something new-

New route, new mileage, new ---anything!

Today I had two!

1. New hair-
I've been with Val for an eternity- at Hair Worx in Farmington,nm -- (call 8 weeks in advance to even TRY getting in- she's THAT good)

I trust her with my split ends-(and my roots)
she's simply amazing.

We share coffee, we share life.

I always just sit, and let her do her thing-

Yesterday we went SHORT!

My first thought was--- how am I going to run with this hair?

I knew I'd figure it out, because the new do was CUTE!







2. "Funky Runner" headband from razzyroo.com

As a 'newbie' runner, gizmos intrigue-- high tech, low tech, doesn't matter- anything to fuel the habit.

I have a laundry list of things I'd like to try/buy-- but at only 5 bucks-- the "Funky Runner" headband was an easy first! (plus the name cracks me up)



So here I was, all geared up- a baby 3 miles to log- and the morning, absolutely devine (I love that you can feel Autumn coming in the mornings now)

I had just finished a Combat Cardio class- so I had to hurry, get the run in and get home before the house woke up.

I chose my easy course, Kiwanis Park - and ran.

I thought I'd be tired having done a cardio group class beforehand, but it actually served well as a good warmup, my 'grove' came quickly-- no rusty start today.

Round and round I went- 6 times in all -
3 miles down, new do and "Funky Runner" making me feel cute!

As I rounded the last lap, the sky lit up with the most amazing clouds-

It's happening

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.

Running Berg- the magic of a memory

Monday, October 21st I ran today-  Chose Berg Park I'd been seeing others' photos of the park  Pop up on Instagram,  Each shot  A familiar spot  Running memories Are you like that?  You'll be driving along Minding your own business And a running memory So powerful  Hits you  And you're back To that one Training run  It's like a homesick feeling Deep in your gut Only you're not sad You're j ust wishing  You were there a gain To live the moment over Berg Park pictures do that to me too So today I ran it No Garmin No Endomondo Just me  The trail And everyone else that felt  Drawn here today Walkers Runners Mommas with strollers  Puppies  Always magic here The running was easy I wondered why I'd waited so long To just be And Run for the thrill of it I miss the days when 7 miles seemed impossible And 5 made me feel like a rockstar When friends joined in on a weekend Group run And ended with coffee When I didn't know any better In awe of it all

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
