Long Run!

This week has been crazy!!! I gave myself permission to have a "bad" week in training. Chris was gone all week and we had a TON of holiday stuff going on with it being the last week of school before winter break. I thought a ton about just quitting the running thing and was given a pep talk by a friend and decided it was time to focus in and get it done! So instead of feeling discouraged, disappointed, not "good enough" and just sit around having a pity party, it was time to set my mind to SUCCESS!

I have a plan.
I have the capability to be fast and strong.
I will of course FINISH.
I am a runner.

So I took some advise, prettied up my plan and posted it to the fridge so I can highlight each week of success and completion!
So, I was only supposed to do 10 today but went a little further since I joined up with some other runner friends this week. Had an AWESOME run!!! Had a couple issues with my knee, but stopped to stretch and I was able to keep on going, even kick it up at the end.

I definitely do NOT like running in the cold but it's getting a "little" bit easier, I guess.

So here's to me being a firecracker! I'm ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)
