Above ZERO! November 30 2008

It’s warm today.

Like + 2 or 3.

I was going to make it a run day.

But instead we decorated the outside of the house and now i am going to dinner at my crazy sister’s house.

tomorrow I guess….when it’s -5 and lightly snowing…makes me an easier target for the old shitty drivers.

When I was running regularly before, My size changed dramatically ( a few times).

So in my running clothes drawer there are a lot of items and a LOT of different sizes.

When we moved in July I didn’t unpack everything (seriously you should see my garage….SO MUCH TO UNPACK STILL…gah).

So when I decided to run I just grabbed the first running bra I came to, washed it and slapped it on.

OH MY GOD!

How can a non-pubesc@nt female have such a DRAMATIC change in bra size?

I’ve run twice in that bra and both time I had breathing issues.

Not that I couldn’t but just that I was very very aware of it, y’know?

(oops…instead of draft it published !)

Anyway, I found a decent bra…appropriatley sized for my big knockers.

blah blah blah

ugh…winter.

Anyway….here is Noah…preparing his own breakfast this morning.

(seriously)
select cookie

Yum…. (click through for the entire gormet delight)

I’m off to run now, with properly restrained boobs!

huzzah

You know what I love about running?

You kind of get back into it pretty easily.

I ran yesterday. The same route I did on the weekend (the one that left me hobbling).

This time I took it a little bit easier. On the huge incline I went SLOW and didn’t push myself as hard (for now) and today?

I CAN WALK DOWN THE STAIRS JUST FINE!

WOO HOO!

Of COURSE this makes me want to run again today.

I feel like I would be smarter to wait a day??

Oh! Kids are up. Time to feed them breakfast and walk them to school.

 
 

Ouch & DUH! November 25 2008

Filed under: Running — pamalamadingdong @ 9:38 am

So I ran the other day.

I had decided early in the day I was going to run and so around 5pm I just threw on some running clothes and left.

I can just share with you the fact that I was NERVOUS. Nervous to run. Duh. Anyway I was terrified I would run 10 feet and have to walk.

I knew it wouldn’t be an easy run.  And it wasn’t going to be far.

So I chose my walk route of about 4.30 km…perfect…not too flat (nothing is around here) and I set out.

I start going down hill just for a bit..so I immediatley felt fantastic.  Once i get to the bottom (it’s maybe 200 ft from my house…or something) it’s 1.5k of FLAT with a little bit of a decline mixed it.

Still felt great…a slow easy pace…iP0d helping me along.

I took a tiny walk break at the end of the 1.5k cause i knew that was the end of the flat basically.

The remaining 3.7k are basically up hill….there is a bit of a break but mostly it’s hilly.

But I ran it.

I mean the biggest hill took me a few walk breaks (which I hate taking on a hill…..hate it)

But I pushed myself, and I still felt great.

I think I expected to feel like an enphezema patient or something.

blah blah blah…got home….sweating like a loonie….did some stretches….ate some dinner. Had a shower.

A great night sleep.

I woke up the next morning, stood up and immediatly regretted it.

OH MY GOD. It was like my first half marathon…maybe WORSE!

WTF? I haven’t been able to walk right ever since.

I am MUCH better today but not 100%.

I walked that night (the same route) thinking it would help, but it turns out I just ended up being pulled around by my dog and walked like I had braces on my legs (maybe I should have?).

Yesterday I skipped a run & a walk in hopes of letting them heal.

I feel better today but I can still feel my muscles.

Do you think I should run??

I’m totally running.
