I AM WOMAN!!


I ran 5 miles today!! Yeah!!! This is huge. It has been several years since I have been able to run that far. (pregnancy, injury, pregnancy again, another injury) I am so excited. Sore, but excited. Next year I hope to be be running the Salt Lake Marathon! It's one of those things on my "bucket list".
I am working on lots of projects right now. Too many, actually. I need to get some of them finished. But here is a card that I made the other day. Have a good day!

Back to Running

Well, trying to anyway. I ran 3 miles yesterday and my dumb new shoes made my foot hurt. It's hard to be motivated when your foot and leg aches from your run two days before. I have also discovered that running while listening to someone talk doesn't work. It has to be music. And sometimes music with no words is better. The theme from Rocky is a good song. Also, Jock Jams. However, that is only while on the treadmil. Outside - NO MUSIC! I can't run outside with headphones on for fear that someone or something is behind me and I can't hear them. (ie: big scary dog panting while chasing me down the street!) While very boring indeed, treadmill running is much safer than running in my neighborhood. Why do people have dogs??? And snow in April...don't even get me started.
