Summer's Over!

This morning I woke up, walked outside and instantly as I felt the air on my face felt, cool. refreshed, energized to go run... and in a flash thought OH NO, MY SUMMER IS OVER! I absolutely love the heat of the day, not getting chills, frozen grapes, kids dripping popsicles, playing at the pool, and wearing flip flops every single day! I drink a ton of water, I love my skin with a tan, and feel alive! Today I felt that all slipping away, and I honestly am not ready to see it go!

On to the run: I met Miss Alice and we went 2.85 miles in 39.07 minutes for a 13:02 pace! Not bad my friend. It would have been faster, but about half way through I had serious bladder issues that would not let me run faster, take bigger strides, or go further distances :P RUDE! I felt like I was leapfrogging it when I honestly could have gone faster and THAT drives me nuts! I seriously almost lost it on the home stretch because the SPRINKLERS WERE GOING! Good grief!

Looks like I will be waking up earlier so that I can visit the ladies room TWICE before I run! xo

New Start

Last week I ran only on Tuesday, only 2 miles... ugh

So, today I declared my official NEW START! It's the first day back to school for me, hubby and the kiddos. It's the day to be organized, keep moving, and YES I started with my run!

So, I went 3 miles in 45 minutes, STINK SUCK CRAP! but it can only get better from here because I am going to be dedicated, steady and LOVE the ride! xo

Week's review!

Last Saturday's run totally didn't happen as we were loaded up to drive to California...

Monday I did the 1.45 mile loop in 19:20 minutes for a 13:23 pace.

Thursday was the next and I again did the 1.45 miles in about 20 minutes for a 13:48 pace, about. My watch didn't start time, who knows what I pushed, the winds were insane and strong, and I was just glad we stayed standing upright!

Today I wanted a longer route, we are only 9 weeks away from the RAGNAR and I need to increase my distance and pace so I don't mentally freak out on the course Ü! Miss Alice joined me and this is what we did: 3.8 miles in 52:41 minutes for a 13:52 pace!

K- so mentally I am going through a lot right now, bot me and hubby are registered for college classes (first time in over 8 years) plus homeschooling 2nd grader and pre-k, plus possibly moving at the end of this month, plus haven't trained regular and am still totally unhealthy towards myself... this has to change! Honestly I am holding myself back by being a Debbie Downer and allowing myself to feel overwhelmed by life, ITS JUST LIFE! I had a little breakdown inside because my body went into shock, totally not use to all of this and I need to keep going with a positive attitude and realize I haven't done anything EVER like this and I am way further ahead than I was a few months ago!

Miracles are about to happen, cause it's the RAGNAR baby, and it will be fun!! xo
