back on the wagon

I guess no one is perfect... except me! I am back on the wagon of running. I had gotten a chest cold (I think something is wrong here) and been out for a while. I did miss it though. Trixie had a blast running with me as always. There are new smells now that it is spring. More people out on the trail with us. Perfect running weather. Wish me luck guys... I am planning on  the Fido 5k in Frisco on April 2nd. WOO HOO!!!

Week 4 Day 3

So I did two of these, yesterday and the day before. Just haven't had time to post about them. Child is sick and I have been home with her. Her daddy has been gracious enough to watch her while I go to the gym. Dash Down Greenville is Saturday and I am pumped and nervous!!! Wish me luck guys!

Week 4, Day 2

Ok... I yelled at my dog in front of a playground full of kids. She keeps running in front of me and tripping me to jump at the squirrels that she will never get. I'm gonna let her go one of these days and teach those squirrels a lesson. I yelled at her again at an intersection when she ran between my legs because a car drove past... Real life obstacles I guess. I really do love my dog.... I swear I do! Anyhoo... I yelled at my iPod in the last 30 seconds of my last 5 minute run cause I wanted to stop already! It didn't listen to me. I'm done with day two and pray to God that day three goes better cause I gotta be ready for Saturday! Dash Down Greenville here I come!!! Maria and I are painting our shirts Wednesday and I got my green tights!!! Wish me luck guys!!! I'm gonna need it!!!

Weekend (Week 3, Day 3 and Week 4, Day 1)

Saturday: Ran with my sister in Cleburne. Her statement as we finished, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." This means she didn't want to continue our adventure on Sunday morning. I found it pretty funny myself. I felt great after that run! My body didn't hurt like it has been. AMAZING!!! So I drove home Sunday afternoon and went to the gym that night and hit the treadmill With week FOUR. 5 minute runs... 5 MINUTE RUNS!!!! WTF was I thinking!!! If anyone knows any good remedies for shin splints, let me know. Holy crap I was hurting after that. I feel good this morning tho! I may attempt that again today!!! I am insane for saying this, but... I kinda like this running thing. Imagine that! I'll be changing my tune later this afternoon when I post again after my day two run... :)

Week 3, Day 2

Ok... I'm dying. I know I am. My legs feel like boulders attached to my body. They HURT. I completed my run. I think I should've rested today. Or maybe at least drank more water. Nothing interesting today. Got my hair cut and eyebrows waxed, so I feel a bit more feminine at least, but not at the moment. Too tired, need water.
