I'm better today.
Funk yesterday, I'm better today. So let's do something fun!
Time to give this cutie away!
Random drawing pulled ..... Shelley Manning as the winner of the Inspired Endurance 13.1 necklace! Yay Shelley you finally won!! :)
Here is a bit about Shelley. I 'met' Shelley on Daily Mile, back when I was *really* good at logging my workouts (not so much anymore, lol) BUT, Daily Mile is a great place to keep track of workouts & it's social too. Kinda like facebook for exercisers. Speaking of facebook, we have even advanced to being facebook friends, & I'm pretty certain if we lived closer we would be causing trouble together. And even though I think she's super cool, she won fair & square with random.org. :)
Check out Shelley's blog - http://shelleymanning.blogspot.com/ - she is fun to read & a sweet Georgia peach.
Shelley, send me your address & I'll get this right in the mail to you. Merry Christmas to you!

The marathoner who got killed by 3 miles
Reminder about my giveaway.... winner announced Wed! See my last post.
Ok so, I haven't really talked about my running much lately, & well, this is a running blog, so I suppose I should do that.
I started back running just last week. I have my sights set on a May 5 1/2 marathon, training will start in February, but since I'm starting from scratch I thought it is time to get moving now.
I decided I would start very slow as to not hurt my hip, etc. I decided I was ok with only running a few miles for now. I started from zero before, I can do it again. Last week was great! Run felt good & I felt proud of myself for holding back when I wanted to go farther. I wasn't sore at all, except for my heel, & I think new shoes would really help that.
I know I can get this back & I know it takes time to get there.
But..... just when I feel positive about things I have a run like today. All I can think of is I ran 26.2 last year & today 3 about killed me.
1. my hip hurts.
2. plantar fasciitis in my left foot.
3. my laziness is out of control.
4. my desire to eat very bad food wins almost every damn day.
5. I need new shoes.
6. my workout clothes are tight.
7. my attitude is bad.
I know we all have days like this when starting over & I hate to blog negative things, but I suppose this is all part of it.
I normally try to be a positive, optimistic person, but today I feel like a big loser. Grumpy Smurf says it all.
