Eating my words
Okay, Kelli & Courtney....for how long did I tell you that I was emphatically NOT a runner? Well, it's time to eat my words. I AM!!! It has been a long week and half - I hurt my foot shortly after I did my 12 miles, and wasn't able to run for almost a week. At this point in my training, it was SO frustrating - worried I wasn't going to be able to run the race, worried I was going to lose everything I'd worked so hard for. This last Tuesday, I was finally able to run again, but was dealing with a cold. It made the run SO hard - had to stop twice to BREATHE...felt like I had just started again!! My "trainers" told me that it was just from the cold, not to worry, get my rest, etc, etc. I had to take yesterday off to rest, but today was able to do my 6.2 and it felt SO good! I was about 2-3 minutes slower than I normally am, but it just felt sooo good to be out there running again!! The race is a week from Sunday, and it's getting VERY exciting! :) So yes, I'm ready to declare that I AM a runner! :)
