Why is it so easy to fall off the wagon, and SO DANG HARD to climb back on?
I tell myself that I am over being mad at myself…and am OKAY with where I am in my running and ACCEPTING of where I am not…..
(but it still ticks me off)
I need to get over myself and focus on what I CAN do instead of what I used to be able to do. *SIGH*
Okay, vent over.
I have gotten so much support around here that I almost feel guilty about whining!!!
I’ll move on to a run report instead.
Since R was gone all of last week, running was out of the question. Can’t exactly leave the kidlets home sleeping at 5 am to go run!
R got home Saturday, so I was out the door Sunday morning…although a little later than I had hoped for. I left about 6:15 and got about 4.5 miles in….still on the run/walk routine.
Picking routes now is tough…I try to make sure I am running north/south when the sun decides to barrel over the horizon so that I don’t get blasted in the face.
But it was still HOT. Even that time of the morning, I was dying of sweat! I cannot wait for cooler weather to show up someday.
It’s hard for me to say I enjoy my runs lately….seems all I do is beat myself up mentally, sweat like a pig, and wonder how the heck I am going to last for 13 miles come November.
Micheline, gotta love her, doesn’t seem worried!!! I think she is in denial. Or something has happened to her brain after living with an Ultra Runner for so long. Me, on the other hand – I AM WORRIED!
62 days from today, to be exact.
YIKES.
My goal for this week is going to be a long run of at least 5.5 miles – hopefully 6. I have one of my old routes up to my parents’ house that should work.
On a lighter note…….we are heading in to one of my FAVORITE holiday seasons:
HALLOWEEN!!!!
I am home tomorrow, so am planning on dragging out the decorations and T can help me after preschool!
I am a Halloween freak……I loooooove decorations and every year we hold a big neighborhood party in our driveway…potluck style, fire pit, beverages (both adult and kiddie!) and it is just a ton of fun. I am so looking forward to it again this year!
Which reminds me……I’ll share some stupid Halloween humor!
Anyone know what these are?
C’mon……… you know.

I think they are ghost bees, or white jackets, OK i am not so good at these. Are you going Sunday? Bring the Kids.
Boo-bees!
Good job on getting up for the early run. I'm sure you'll make the half just fine.
If you run the 10k on Sunday (I Did A Run) that will give you your long run and you'll get to meet Lisa, Chad, Tigger, Phil and me.
Woo hoo Mister Asskick! Stupid humor, I know...but I laugh anyway. ;)
Pat, I am sooooo not ready to run 6 miles with you all. You would have have time for a 3 martini lunch by the time I would finish.
Come and join us on Sunday! I think my son and I are only doing the one mile! Besides, no one cares how fast! Everyone is so supportive!
BTW, what part of town do you live in? Pat said he wouldn't mind meeting for a long run sometime so we could try it out and see how it goes.
Come out and run the 1 mile with Chand, Jay-say, Lori and I and all of our kids (6 total between both families) Needless to say we will be walking/jogging/running what ever the kids decide they want to do. I hope you are getting out this week and working out, how is it going?

I MIGHT MIGHT be able to get my older son to come with me and do the fun run. He has a late night outing the night before...and I am *supposed* to have plans on Sunday mornings......but I'll see what I can do. I really want to meet you all!
