Back in lots of ways. I just read my sister Susan's Facebook post and I am still laughing, she should be the one blogging!
Anyway, I am back to running, yippee! I swear that I will never complain about a run again. Once you have something you really like taken away for awhile you totally appreciate it when you can resume. I just noticed that resume and resume for a job are the same word, no wonder people have a tough time learning English. Oh look a shiny penny, my sisters will understand that joke.
Ok back on task, I starting run/walking again after walking the Cleveland half marathon, funny, not a real time difference between walking and run/walking. Who cares at least I can compete. Next up is the Boilermaker, the largest 15k in the US! I know I can't be last for that 15k , I love big races! Then up is the Disneyland Dumbo Challenge, 10k on Saturday and a half on Sunday, I don't care if I crawl to the finish I am bringing home the bling, four medals as a matter of fact, oh yeah!
It has been a challenge to try and get back up to speed (yeah like speed was ever involved). It sucks that you train and can run 13.1 miles and take three months off and lose it all, just not fair, but I will be back.
I ran/walked 4 miles today, went from running one minute to 90 seconds, you would have thought I brought cinder blocks with me, it was hard but my friend Deb and I did it. I will be running full miles soon, I just know I will. I an seeing a PT that knows my niece Lish, he is awesome and is an ultra runner, for those who do not know what that is, he runs like 100 mile races and does tri's, and does a su 3 hour marathon the kid is freakin amazing. Anyway he is helping me and I hopefully will be better than before.
In all it is good to be back and can't wait to do the Boilermaker with my family, it should be 9.3 miles of laughter!
See you all soon, Karen
