4 more days..........I think I'm gonna throw up!

I am not ready for this. My training has not gone according to plan. Between injuries & struggling with depression I have not trained enough. I am going to do it but I have made it so much harder on myself by not sticking to my schedule. I know it doesn't do any good to beat myself up about this but it is really hard....I have let myself down. Not a good feeling need to remember this so I won't do it next time.

Perfect opportunity....

Things came together tonight & there was no way I couldn't go running. I decided to go to the track so I could so some "speed work" ha, ha.... the word speed probably doesn't belong on my blog! Anyways I have been reading about that so I did some "speed work" think I might kindof like it...I don't know but I ran a total of 4 miles in 50 minutes & tonight I'm just gonna be happy with that!

Life has gotten in the way......

I should say I have let life get in the way......
I am very disappointed in myself. Instead of running more to help deal with my stress I have completely stopped. I am sabotogizing myself for the half marathon and I don't know why. I'm depressed because I'm not running but too depressed to make myself run......
Time to buck up quit feeling sorry for myself & just do it.
(so much easier said than done)

It's official I'm a runner!

I looked in the mirror today & saw that on my back I have a sports bra tan line! So I think it's official I can call myself a runner!
I totally have to thank Kristin & Julie for my tan line! We ran 10 miles on Saturday which is crazy in itself but I think it's even crazier that it was sunny & hot! I have never ran when it was sunny & hot out! What a different experience!
I could have never done this by myself......
Thank you Kristin & Dave for having my sports drink & goo....both were homemade & were awesome! Also thank you for the Clif Blocks (I owe you!)
Okay there are too many things I'm just going to list them:
Waiting for me to get there from Hillboro
Mapping out the route
Making sure there were bathrooms along the way
Water
Staying with me
Your sister
Banana after run
And then coming to Hillsboro and watching Hailee's game and going out to Chevy's afterwards! What a great day! I couldn't have asked for any better!

My awesome new Blog look!!

I wish I could say I made my blog look so awesome.....but I have to thank Janae (Kristin's sister) THANK YOU!!! It looks so great! I LOVE it! It encourages me to post more just so I can look at it!

Depressed, overwhelmed, scared, tired

That is how I feel right now.
Depressed because I'm in pain most of the time....
Overwhelmed because I'm supposed to run a 1/2 marathon in 22 days
Scared because I'm supposed to run a 1/2 marathon in 22 days
Tired......extremely tired, I have no energy this week
And I thought running would improve my mood!

Cannon Beach Run & catch up.....

Didn't run Friday (should have) kids were out of town so we went to dinner & I can't run after I eat. Bad excuse I know!
Saturday was a 5k & 10k in Cannon Beach. Me & my cousin left town at 6:30am & headed to the beach. The weather was overcast & raining most of the trip & we weren't looking too forward to running in that! But by the time the race started the weather was pretty nice....cloudy but not windy or raining!
This was Kay's first race & she did awesome! I hope she does more! I ran the 10k & didn't do a very good job...my leg was killing me! It was so great running on the beach! I'm just glad I finished & was able to hang out with Kay! We went & had lunch & stopped at the Nike outlet store on our way back home for our "reward".
Since my leg & the top of my foot were hurting I have not been running. Today they seem to feel better...hopefully just one more day of rest & I will be back at it!
