A Major OMG Moment.
Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 10:55PM
This is how I felt last night, when, after a long day of work in Lake Tahoe, I went for my run. I RAN FOR 55 MINUTES NO STOPPING!!!!! Holy Smokes!!! I felt so proud of myself and it felt so awesome, words can't describe. I mean kids, running is the one thing in my life I've never been able to do. And of course now I see that the major obstacle to my succeeding was my own fear and self-doubt.
NO MORE.
I CAN do anything I set my mind to. When things don't go well, I make adjustments, and I KEEP PRESSING ON. I keep trying. I will NOT give up, or give in to doubt or fear.
Enough said.
I am FINALLY home- been traveling all day. Totally beat~! But who woke up at 6:30a.m. today and went for a run BEFORE heading to the airport? ME!! I did learn a lesson though because I was dry cramping bad- dry cramping meaning I was getting stitches from not having enough water or no coffee before heading out. I simply couldn't run for more than 2 blocks without a cramp returning. So guess what I did? I used the whole time to do quick "sprints" where I ran fast for 2 blocks, then walked fast, then ran fast, then walked. If my workout clothes are ON, I am doing SOMETHING!!
;-) See you tomorrow! WOOT!!!!!

Super!! Love to hear about your progress. Never, ever run without water. Who knows what that is doing to the body (maybe not today, but in the future). Like biking without a helmet (it only takes one fall). Safety first (i see so many people not doing both). Speaking of biking, just completed my second 100 mile ride (cut over an hour off my time). Nothing like a +9 hour workout (just old and slow, but not stopping). Long weekend (I'm seeing two more 100 mile rides in my future)!
ONE HUNDRED MILES?????????????????????????????? Whoa. Whoa. WHOA!! That is incredible!! ;=)
AWESOME!!!! That is really amping me girl!
I just did my first 27 minutes straight today-but man...I'm coming to get you...hehe
I know, I know-don't base our own progress on what someone else is doing...but, what the heck...it's something to shoot for LOL!
PS-I joined up a free site called the dailymile.com....it's kind of a fun way of logging your runs.
Ciao! and big congrads!!!

Did you get to enjoy Tahoe at all while you were up there working? that is like our go-to getaway place for peeps like me in the Bay Area.
