PAIN!!!!

First, for those of you who can hear the music player, I have added one song!

King of Pain by the Police

It has always been a favorite of mine...
 no real reason...
but I find it oddly appropriate for this blog and post!!!!

Wednesday, July 28, 2010.... Week 15/Day 102... Run 5miles

Todd ran this morning... I have to tell you, he is doing an amazing job... and I never expected anything other than that!  He is my inspiration and I will never be able to thank him, ever, for doing this with me!

Tuesday, July 27, 2010... Week 15/Day 101... Rest

Today was my 3 mile day!  HA!

I am fairly certain I did not even run 1/2 a mile.

My feet were in agony, my calves felt as if they were going to snap, and my quads burned with a raging fire.  I was in so much pain, I could hardly breathe.

Needless to say, I am in a funk!

I am afraid though, that it may be even more of mental than physical fatigue.

I will be honest, I am tired...

and frustrated...

and disappointed. 

I want to do this so badly.

I will tell you though, that today (7/28) my legs feel much better and I am working very hard to psych myself up for a 5miler tomorrow (7/29)

My handsome husband ran 8 today... He was drenched in sweat when he returned to the house... I even asked him if he had dumped water on himself... NO!

So proud of him!!!!

Todd, bless him, ran in our neighborhood and I ran down 77 to 23rd to Jenks then back up Harrison to Baldwin to 77 and back home....  I am constantly needing to change my route!

Sunday, July 18... Week 13/Day 92... Rest

I ran 7 miles today.

Ran to the Southport Sign.  It was hot, but it was a beautiful morning.  I think the nice thing about running early on a Sunday is how quiet the roads are, not just for safety, but ... just cuz.

Then I worked from 9am until 6:30pm.... on my feet!!!!!!!

Saturday, July 17, 2010 Week 13/Day 91... Run 7 miles

Todd went to the Lynn Haven Recreation Center to run his 7 miles.

The boys and I decided to surprise him by showing up and cheering him on... I think it might have helped a little... I sure am proud of him... can't stop saying it!!!!
