Monday Monday

This morning started off like most other Mondays. Get up, go run, go to shower and then work. And that's exactly what I did today. However, realizing that I was only 3.3 miles away from finishing my Route 66 virtual run, I wanted to make sure that I got all of those miles in. So I did. It was a beautiful morning. The lake looked like glass. It was so pretty.
 



I noticed I was still sore from yesterday's run with my shins aching a bit but nothing I couldn't handle. It was all good. I did have a small adventure today in that I traveled southwards to the heart of the desert heat from training for work. I'm looking forward to it, but since I was given the blue screen of death on my laptop, I shall have to make due with writing from my phone. Not as cool for sure. Plus I am having problems with my feet.

Too Pretty


My feet are pretty awesome I think. However, from Sunday's run, I have a blister on my ankle, not cool, and from a very poor diet and eating wayyy to much wheat and shit, I am developing small little blisters between my toes on only one foot. Makes total sense to me. They are just water blisters and the reason I say it's from a poor diet is because when my daughter eats wheat, it comes out in the strangest ways. She gets these little tiny water blisters between her fingers and it itches a bunch. The only way to get rid of it is to not have wheat. Ugh! Oh well I guess.

I also haven't figured out how to add photos from my phone to my blog, it's weird, trust me, there is no proof to show that I did run. But I did. I will update the blog when I get home this weekend. Until then, happy running friends.

The Feeling the Day After

Image
Like many all over the world, but, especially in the United States, yesterday was a day of somber memories.  A hellish nightmare from which there was no waking up to.  The day after was a strange one, as were the days that followed.  In an instant, the world, all around me, had changed.  It brought with it the shock of an outright war against the United States.  This was so far from the reaches of my mind just a few short hours prior. To help those who don't know, let me explain a bit of back story.  In 2001, I was pretty much going nowhere fast.  I had quit two jobs, was running on borrowed money, still at home, just doing nothing and trying to get by.  And then a few things went down for me.  My little sister had joined the Navy, and she was gone in bootcamp.  I had been seeing a guy that I thought actually liked me, and then one night I called him.  He sounded so cold, to this day I can still recall it.  I knew it was over...

And Yet,

I have had so much to say for so long that I think I may just burst into a million pieces if I don't get it all out.  There is much that I have been thinking about ton these last few runs.  A lot has been going on in our world and I think it's time I took a stance and made myself heard. About 8 weeks ago, a young lady ws reported missing from Brooklyn Iowa.  Her name was Mollie Tibbetts.  On a Tuesday, about two weeks ago, a body was discovered about 11 miles away from where she was last seen, presumed to be her body.  An arrest has been made and a man has been charged with first degree murder in the case.  I am so boiling angry over this I could scream. Let me start by saying I remember watching stories like this all the time growing up about runners who went missing.  There have been a couple that have ended up headless with their heads found floating in the canal where they used to run.  This is nothing new to me in this idea of runners bei...

Perseverance: Just Keep Swimming

There are good days and then there are the days where it's a struggle to do damn near everything.  We all have days like these ones.  The coffee isn't made in the morning, your stomach is hurting from whatever food or drink you consumed sometime earlier, your job isn't as fun as you want it to be and yet you still get up.  You go make the coffee, silently scolding yourself for forgetting it the night before.  Instead of just chilling on Facebook, you notice that not only did the coffee not get done, but, in fact, neither did the dishes. This was me today.  Begrudgingly doing the dishes that I should have finished last night.  I could be angry about it, but, now my kitchen is clean and the coffee is fresh and I, not my husband, get that first cup of hot liquid warm heaven.  The smell makes you smile, the aroma is fresh and somehow soothes your mind.  Still tired, I headed back up the stairs and begin getting ready for the morning run.  Today...
