Friday Fun Day

Today is not Friday.  Today is in fact, Sunday.  What a lovely weekend it has been too.  First thing Friday morning, I got myself out of bed and went for two miles.  It was tremendously needed.  I thought for sure that it would be a bad run since I had such a good run the night before, but, it was a great 2 miles.  I honestly couldn't believe how good it felt.

So I didn't take the dog that morning.  I knew she was outside already, so instead of going the usual route out of the complex, I went the other way, it keeps her from seeing me and then getting mad at me for not taking her.  I took it slow not waning to hurt my shins.  I had said to myself that I would walk if I needed to and when I wanted to run again, there would be no pressure.  So I went to run.  And I did walk a little bit, but my pace, wow! I was so happy with it.  I seemed to do well with a 12 minute mile pace, and that's really good for me considering I had been getting slower for a bit.





Fuck!!! Tried to finish my post and it froze and didn't save any of it... DAMMIT!!!!!

Ran Friday, walked Saturday and some on Sunday, had a great run today.  Was glad to run in the rain.

God Love it!

Happy Running All~

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...
