Sunday

Running: 15 Aug 2010 - Holy Sweat

The 15th was Sunday and probably the first Sunday I have run.  I kinda figured I'd hear from Michelle and Angie as they had said they were going to run on Sunday.  I didn't.  But, as I was up and dressed, how could I not run?  But where?  Blood sugar was low again today, and I almost cancelled using that as an excuse.  I didn't.  So after sucking down 8oz. of OJ, I headed out toward the High School with a slightly wild hair up my butt.

Running: 14 Aug 2010 - La, La, La...

Short and sweet this morning, kids...It was a misty, overcast morning.  A morning I would have loved to stay in bed.  But...the alarms went off, just like always at 5:00, 5:05, and 5:09am.  And like most mornings, I hit snooze on the 5:09am alarm 3 times.  Just a few more minutes of sorting out the day.  Here is where the new habit/commitment, but not quite addiction, and definitely not obsession kicked in.  Here is where Coach whispered, "get up and run."   So, up I got, donned my running gear, and grabbed my music.

Running: 12 Aug 2010 - Return of the Sweati

It really feels good taking a few days off after a race.  Especially with the heat we have had lately.  Granted, I don't run at night (might walk, though), because the mornings are usually coolers.  We have had some god-awful heat indices...102, 107, 110+ and today is supposed to be the worst.  If this morning is an indication of the rest of the day, UGHHH.  Apparently though, yesterday was a beautiful morning to run.  Michelle emailed me yesterday and chewed me out for not showing up for our Wednesday run with the Madison County Milers.  I deserved it, too.

Running: 7 Aug 2010 - Pump-n-Run (21:58)

Perfect weather for a race.  About 55 people running.  Four different races.  At least 2 runners with wrist GPS units.  And 1 person more than likely a bit short of the turn-around.  Yep, if sources serve correctly, we all were a little "faster" than we thought for today's 5k.  I believe the turn-around guy was a bit shy of the paint on the road.  I had seen it yesterday when I ran and thought to myself today when we made the U-turn, "Hmmm, where is the paint on the road that says 5k TURN?"  I mean, there were records falling, high fives being slapped for PBs, smiles on children's faces...."Oh! the humanity!"  Oh well, things like that happen.
