Who ate all the Thin Mints!?!!!

Monday, April 2nd

Today I got to sneak in a run with my Sis-in-law, RunningMamaOf2.
We choose to run up college to the top entrance to Lions wilderness-

The run is chilly-
Grey
Windy
Brrrrr

We chat about running
Races planned
Her tri in 2 weeks! Eeek!

We talk about how proud we are of her Sis that just ran HER first half-
And how blessed we are with all the support and encouragement we have from friends and family.
We make it to the top-
I suggest we take a detour to the new BLM complex
It has fun winding paths and overlooks stone outcroppings and pinion-












I snap a pic
We get an endomondo peptalk from BlueSkyGirl
Then from RunningMommaOf2's Sis
Makes us smile

We finish out our run through Lions Wilderness- then home

I promise coffee and Girl Scout Thin Mints if we finish strong-
Nothing like a bribe to kick it in gear-
Our last mile is our fastest







I brew the coffee
And feverishly look for the Thin Mints
They were just here this morning-
I say, with my most reassuring voice
But no-
They have vanished

Stinkin' kids must have seen them on the counter.

RunningMammaOf2 says she'll settle for a cinnamon roll

I roll my eyes

I'm not like ViolinRunning- who whips them up on a whim just because it's Thursday-


Coffee it is

Sigh

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...
