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...

Trial Run

Oh the worry of a new shoe purchase- You'd better not so much as take a pinky toe step on anything but carpet before you decide wether or not to keep those puppies- But how will you know they 'work' until you do just that. All day long yesterday I wore my new Brooks Cascadias , trying to get an idea of how they would remotely feel on a run. I even secretly planned an early morning date with a treadmill- just to be sure. But as the day wound down, something inside me wound up really wanting to do a trial run. I knew they would work- couldn't wait- Trying to get the kids situated for bed proved almost impossible. I kept whispering, "let's try to hurry, mommy wants to do a quick run"- thinking surely that would motivate them- HAHA My sweet honey, Ryan, must have heard the desperation in my voice, as I whispered in the other room, trying not to disturb him as he studied and worked, because out of nowhere he told me to go and hurry back. ...
