By the time I hit about 8 miles it had warmed up to about 64* which for Seattle people this is WARM! But I took a breather at the halfway point and then set out again to head back to my car. I didn't feel tired physically but my left ankle was starting to ache and my right hip flexor was getting pretty sore. (Ever since Eugene Half my hip flexor has been hypersensitive) At 11 miles the " the wheels fell off" so to speak- I had to keep stopping every mile or so and take a break, my ankle was not feeling to good and I didn't want to injure myself. I pushed through it and finished- just a little slower than anticipated. I have to keep reminding myself that not every fun is going to be rainbows and gumdrops, there is always going to be crappy ones. But I keep a mental image of when I cross the finish line and how awesome and accomplished I feel. There will always be tomorrow or next week to try again. How did everyone's Mother's Day weekend turn out- how about your long runs this weekend?  |

Good morning! It took every strand of will power to pull this body out of my comfy, warm bed this morning and I still didn't make it out of the door at my usual time. This is how I know it is Monday.
Ahh The Mamas & The Papas- I especially love their dancing in this video. Usually when I dance that is pretty much what it looks like, no rhythm and I really don't care 99.9% of the time.
Does anyone else hate Monday's and the fact that the weekend goes by in the time it takes 1 hour to pass on a Monday!?
If you REALLY hate Mondays you can always go to the facebook page cleverly labeled: I Hate Mondays !
HAHA oh god.. makes me laugh every time. Alright enough on Mondays and how much they suck.
Yesterday was an interesting day for running.. the weather was gorgeous but I didn't up getting out on the pavement till about 12:30 in the afternoon. But once I hit the trail... I buckled down and zoned out to my music; I have my splits on my laptop at home which I will have to post later. I made it about 10.8 miles and then my garmin died, but I brought another watch that I started a timer that way I knew I need to be done before I hit the 2:30 marker.
