It just might be laundry day

-
Goodness I just had to run- anybody else get the bug, even though you are stuck in the rut of non-running- have no business being on the road for lack o said running annnnnnnnnnnd....
It’s laundry day

Yep that was me... 
so so so sos sos sos
Yes, that is a cry for help... 
because I only had those cute spandexy leggings that you buy because they make you feel like a million bucks 
Only to get home to the reality that you should not be out in those things... and relegate them to pj status
That’s what was on the docket for running attire
Or jeans
 
Ladies and Gentlemen
I’m so glad this happened to me

Because I threw those puppies on
And went out and ran

 
And it was fabulous and wonderful
And it made me wonder
If every time I’ve snickered silently as I drove past someone in a not so hot running choice 
Maybe,  just maybe,  it’s laundry day

Can we just run with that from now on?!?!? 
Laundry day can cover a multitude of sins

And free us up to high five everyone for getting out 
Because it feels so good to get out!

I hadn’t run in a while- but it felt so good to just go
The sky was perfect
And my route is getting a little more familiar 
 
I still use photography as an excuse to stop
It seems like the right thing to do

 
Selfie? Why not—i cant hardly breath, I’m sucking air like crazy- that smile really is just me inhaling for all I’m worth.. 
but it is fun
Fun to get the bug to run and lace up

Who knows when the next one will be
I have this uncanny knack of jinxing myself with a blog post, 
But one thing’s for sure
The laundry’s done

You can thank me later...

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...

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...
