Drive through chiro anyone?

Monday-
Oh Monday-

I so want to embrace you as if you were something special
After-all, you are my day off
And always give this
False sense of holiday

But more often than not
You punish me

Drop kids off at school
BlueSkyGirl
RunningMommaOf2
Are set to do another swim session
To get runningMammaOF 2
In ship shape for her triathlon

She worries about the swim
I offer to sign up for the tri
To make her look good
Picture me flailing helplessly
We laugh

They see me geared up
Ask what's on the agenda
"Easy 4 and hill sprints!"
I say
They are secretly jealous
I just know it

We part ways

I make a final decision
Route will start from home

Start is slow
I chide myself
"Are we walking or running today?"
I ask myself
Knowing full well
It is rhetorical

But my legs think otherwise
They think for a moment
Ummmmm "walking?" they say

I am not amused

I ask them again
"Are we walking or running today?"
This time
Out loud with severity
So they and all the world
Could hear my reprimand

But still they pretend not to hear

I push them to a run
They give up
Give out
Give in

Wonky pain in my back
Now hip
What's that?
Knee

I'm done

"Wiggle woggle" back home
If only I could see a chiropractor
I'd be back out in no time
Call hubby's chiro
Can't see me till Friday

Not good
Google drive through chiro

Just in case I could get a back pop
With an order of fries and a smile


















No dice

Sigh

Friday it is----

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.

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...

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 be...
