So far I’ve had a good week though I was a bit tired after today’s 3 miler. These short 3 mile runs are somewhat deceiving. The short runs always seem like they will be a breeze but instead they often tend to knock the wind right out of me. My 3 milers (as most of my other runs) always start somewhat rough and clumsy. After the 1st mile I usually start to catch my breath. After the 2nd mile I start to loosen up and get comfortable…then, suddenly, it’s over.  I’m sure I won’t feel the same after this weekend’s 12 miler….

“I think it’s time to change the rules. They are archaic. Women can run, and they can still be women and look like women.”
Yesterday’s 8 miler and today’s hill training were wonderful. I feel like I’ve regained my kid-like joy in running. I wasn’t looking forward to yesterday’s run since I was doing it after driving to Mankato to class and sitting most of the day, but it turned out to be great. I wasn’t sure about today, either, because I’ve had a headache off and on all day, but Guinness was giddy with joy, and it rubbed off on me. I was right that this would be a good week. yay! yay! yay!
Yeah right! Anyway got this fabulous t-shirt in the mail today (THANKS, SALLY!!!) and just had to put it on! Tomate commented, “You just got it and you’re already going to wear it?!?! You’re going to get it all sweaty!”…- Duh?! That’s right I am!!! I wouldn’t have it any other way…and I ran like I meant it. It was fun….
