~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
So I woke up way late today.
As I watched my computer slowly come to life like a flourescent light that can't decide if it's going to come to full fruition, I debated my run. I could just get the coffee going and chug-chug-chug it as fast as possible leading to shakes and irritation. Or...I could just go run. I could make it a short run. Just enough to get the blood pumping. I could make it a fast run so time would be on my side. I could.....
And so I did. I laced up my kicks, headed out the door and as soon as the crisp, cool, clean air hit my face, legs, and arms, I knew I had made the right decision.
When in doubt, just go run!
**I used to run with doubt. Now she can't keep up!**

Ahhhhhhh :)
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
I said I was going to get up this morning and get back out there. And I DID IT!!!
I'm often surprised, although I shouldn't be anymore, at just how great I feel after a run. I had been in a funk since hubby left to go halfway across the continent and I had let it get to me pretty hard this time. It doesn't get any easier, but my runs do make it more tolerable.
Clears the head. Opens the lungs. Gets the heart beating.
I feel great today. Sure the run was a little bit of a struggle but I was expecting it after about 3 weeks of sitting on the couch and sleeping in until 7. While it may have been a struggle, it also felt so natural...so right...so nice!
As I predicted with yesterday's "blog with myself", I did puke (more like dry heaves bc there was nothing in my tummy), but I did not pass out! Score for Team Me!
Today is going to be a great day!! :)
**If you're sick of starting over, stop giving up!**

To Blog, or To Run
~~~Not your typical blog...these are my thoughts in the moment after my run...and that.is.all.~~~
Haven't run in 3 weeks. I'm totally in a funk and ache and hurt. Getting out of bed is a pain, much less getting up to go run.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!? What have I been afflicted with? Are there signs of a worse thing?
NONONO! What is wrong is that I'm sad. With hubby halfway across the continent for weeks on end, I'm friggin sad. Is that so wrong?
NONONO!! What is wrong is that I'm letting it get to me. THAT! is what is wrong with this picture.
As I drown my sorrow in homemade lasagna that hubby made last time he was here... I vow, once again, to run at least 2 miles per day. I'm 87.79 miles behind for my goal for the year and with 257 days left in the year, I must add .34 each day to reach the 782.
I WILL get out of bed in the morning. I WILL run. I WILL probably throw up and I MIGHT pass out, but I can guarantee I will look at myself in a different light when I take a shower. (mostly because it'll still be dark outside :)
Real glad I had this blog with myself.
