I'm back!!

I just spent a week in Wyoming and loved it.  The sad part about it was there was no signal!!! None.  So I couldn't post.  Now, I'm getting ready to run 2 miles.  I'll begin the picture posting when I get back.  :)

Route 66 Half Marathon.

Soo, yesterday I ran 4 miles.  At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the prospect but I've run farther before.  The problem was I took two weeks off of running due to an injury and have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things.  I still coach, but I suffered a bit just like my students (don't tell).  I'm pretty good at putting on a happy face though.  Anyway, yesterday I felt awesome.  It was like I was born to run.  It didn't matter that it was very hot. It didn't matter that I wasn't really hydrated well.  I still felt like I was flying.  Afterwards, I signed up for half marathon training.  I know I can do this. Lupus be damned.  I run this house not lupus!!! My goal race is the route 66 half.  After that I may do something fun like the disney half or a running cruise. Who knows? The sky is now the limit.

Happy running.

National Running day!

Today is national running day.  Its a day made to celebrate those that love to run.  That's me.  It was HOT today.  I swear I saw folks melting on the sidewalk.  But I managed to get in a 2.5 mile run with my running group.  As a coach sometimes its hard to get the new runner's to understand hot the heat can affect their bodies.  I preach hydration and the art of bringing water, but sometimes it does not get through.  Today, I saw a spark in my runner's. THEY began to understand.  I was proud.  Sigh, its almost like a mother seeing her child grow, on one hand its sad, on the its exciting.   I like being excited.

Night all.
