7 Miles! Yessssss!
It was chilly this morning, and I questioned my sanity as I dressed to go running, a long sleeve top, long pants, and a jacket and gloves, and the first few minutes I was wondering what the heck I was doing, freezing my face off just to get a few miles in. Then I hit my stride, and it’s such a wonderful feeling! That moment you struggle past the “why the hell do I do this to myself?” doubts when your body gives in and resigns itself to the torture you are subjecting it to :)
I ended up putting in 7 miles, my longest distance in a very long time! I felt wonderful when I finished, and I couldn’t wait to get home and ask Gary and the kids to guess how many miles I ran this morning.
“Eighteen hundred?” came the first wide-eyed guess. Um, sorry to disappoint! Ha ha. I didn’t realize how tough my mini running coaches were going to be.
No, this lady is not me! I was searching for a picture of a woman running to accompany this blog post, and this popped up. I LOVE HER. :) I totally need an outfit like that for my foray back into racing!

You ARE AMAZING. I still hate running and I hope one day I get to where you are….
That’s great! Heheh, 1800…keep on dreamin’!
I hated running when I first started! I couldn’t imagine what the heck anyone saw in it. Once I got into it, though, I grew to love it. Give it a chance!
HAHA! MJ I was about to say, I know you’re cute and THAT IS NOT YOU!
