Stash & Dash 12

3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours. By 6:30 this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin- I mean-mommy and has to get hubby and kiddos out the door. Like last night, I was indifferent, the run was like work you had to do- it felt weird. Headphones- check I pod- check Snacks- check Camelback- Check I was mildly intrigued by this last piece of gear, it was new- and new means fun- right? So off we go- Out the door, the warm-up walk begins- WHAT'S THAT SOUND??!! This sound can only be described as the sound you hear when your tummy's sick, but your mom pumps you chock full of fluids and pepto anyway. Soon all you hear is a gurgle of a sound that says bad things are coming- That is what my camelback had in mind as entertainment and conversation today- Oh no, no, no- that is not going to work, That- glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, with every step would NOT acc...

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...

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...
