Well, we have already determined that I am officially an idiot (I took the oath, after all), but am idiotic enough to be a Rugged Maniac.
Ya know, one of those 5k's that also has one climbing walls, sloshing & crawling thru mud, running on tree stumps in a pond....hmmmmm.
This is going to require some real soul-searching. Getting dirty is not my thing. But I do love to climb, and jump, and run...can I get past the other hurdles this race throws at me?
I don't have that answer yet, but when I decide, I will know then. :)

Thus Far~~
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
So far this year, I've managed to complete 22.21 miles. SAWEET!!!
My knee seems to be holding up quite well and I'm just sore. I've run all 9 days and am on my way to 732! Actually, I'm way ahead!
I have to say that I found a running crew on facebook call the Idiots Running Club. Very fitting, funny, and inspirational. Yes, I just said the idiots inspire me. It's nice to know I'm not the only idiot out there...running from what? running to what? While I've had a lot of idiotic running pals, these runners are a hoot and I look forward to seeing what idiotic thing they've done lately.
**Log Off, Shut Down, Go Run**

2 Pals Today
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
Today was a very nice recovery yog for both Rocky & I. We did 3.02 yest and I know I was stiff so I can only imaging Rocky was as well. Trotting out with Jess in tow was perfect for forcing everybody to stop and just move, no time restraints, no regimen, just moving.
Almost one full week on my way to my goal and I just love the way I'm feeling. I'm awake in the morn and I sleep so much better at nite...which had become a challenge with Jason still being gone. It's a good thing I've re-discovered something to put my energy into or I might be in a small room with padded walls right now.
**Running IS my therapy!

Speed Training OW!
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
o.m.g. I needed a challenge and I got one. Today was a push of endurance and I almost upchucked so I feel a sense of accomplishment. Not to mention I bested my best time by 15 secs/mi.
Being a numbers oriented person, having a plan set out before me is what I needed to get me to the next "level" in my runs. I enjoy adding up the miles, watching the seconds slip off my time and feeling as though I've already burned my breakfast and part of lunch before most people even wake up in the morning.
**The hardest step is the one out the door**

Running for Fun :)
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
I remember the day I wanted to actually be in a race. It was in Feb 09. I had been cruising on the treadmill...sometimes 5 MILES! And just knew I needed to see how good I was...had gotten...i mean, COULD be. So i signed up for the Mayday 5k...i'm wearing my shirt RIGHT now!
And so here I am, finding that I ran a better time in my very first race than in any race I've done and I've got issues with that. I want to BEEEE a runner, not say I'm one for conversation. I talk about it all the time, think about it, time to just do it...NO INJURIES! is the motto of my creed!
I once accidentally ran 11.43 miles because I got lost (not the first time :) and I was ok with it. Yeah, I wanted to know where I was going, of course, but I wasn't falling to the floor, can't take it anymore tired. I kept jogging the whole way. (asking directions doesn't count)
And now that I see this time I have as my PR---and my FIRST RACE, i have some work to do...I am more motivated now than ever!
