"You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." - Michael Jordan
Today was supposed to technically supposed to be a rest day (as I'm already messing with the schedule for this week) but considering how lousy I felt last Monday when I went to run, I figured I might as well just put in a couple miles.
I ran over to CVS really quickly to pick up an Albuterol inhaler, since after these past two weekends spent in dog hair it's been depleted. Then I hustled over across the street to the gym and ran for a half hour just before they closed the doors. I was so annoyed because, though I'm not totally excited about the Superbowl, I wanted to see the commercials (Doritos have been the best), and for some reason CBS isn't one of the channels at the gym? Strange...
I'm so excited to be back on track and working my way up to the 16-mile Children's Hospital run on the course this weekend! Now I just have to clean up my apartment to feel like my life is completely in control.
Your blog is so refreshing and inspiring to me!!!! Sounds like the initial joys/highs of running where you feel like superwoman were wearing off a bit but just eat well, drink well, and get the right amount of sleep for you and you should be feeling alive again. Lots of ups and downs with training but just take one day at a time and know that the big day is coming and you are going to absolutely love every minute of it! You will feel sooooo alive! Keep pushin girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kari! I feel like I'm getting back into that positive, alive energy again. Your comments are so encouraging!
ReplyDeleteGreat news on that great contribution you just got. On some of your tough days think of the break you'll have in Orlando. Keep up the good work -- PopPop
ReplyDeleteSure is hard to pop back up from a down-in-the-dumps spell but you DID it, Sammy. And with aches and pains galore!! Guess Rick will let you know if you're overdoing?? Your pics on the hill in VT bring back delicious memories. You're the greatest, Sam! Granny
