Running

Ok. I am running. Well not the past 7 days due to the "cootie" fairy. I am going to resume this as soon as my family looks away. (HeHe feels kinda sneaky. Maybe will be more motivation. Nah!) So, as I said, I am running. I have my shoes, the correct "fluffy" girls pants so the belly doesn't hang out and there won't be any friction burns in the places only "fluffy" girls can understand, and long shirt (just in case the pants do slip). I am doing the C25K program. It makes sense. I am glad this illness fell where it did. I was able to do some research. A wonderful blogger gave me some tips on books to check out. "The Complete Book of Running for Women" by Claire Kowalchik is amazing. It answered questions I had when I was running in high school. Many of the reasons I quit running is because of silly things I could have prevented, if I had only known. I am ready to do this. I am running for me. I am running to have time for me, to be a better and happier person, to be healthy, to be a great mom to my girl and any future kids we may have, and finally to have something I can possibly do with my husband. I put that last because it is a perk more than a reason. Anyone who knows him, knows that if he does anything, he does it 110%. I am "using" him for his knowledge. He has been very supportive and as I told someone who was concerned him helping may not be the best idea." I have no problem telling him where to take the advice if I don't agree". Jason is very competitive. (that is still putting it mildly) He enjoys the competition, the time it takes to get the upper hand. I know I will never compete with him, but to know he is there and is supporting me to do my best ROCKS! I am going to log my miles here. My good days and bad. I am also trying to lose my negative thoughts. It is a process, but time and persistence is the key to all things worthy. Tomorrow I will walk to see where I am and to not push my luck. When Jason raced cross country dirtbikes, I always told him "Race Your Race". That is how I will sign off. Race Your Race! See you all soon!
