wake up call

I ran outside today for the first time in about 2 months...holy smokes! I forgot how much harder it is to run outside instead of on the treadmill. If am going to keep my training program on track I am going to have to move to runs outside and put in some hard work and possibly some early mornings. Marathon running most definitely requires dedication and I am not afraid of putting in the time. Let's do this.

call me a cucumber because today...produce!

So I just want to look back and remember today for the days I think I am too busy to accomplish the things I want to do. I worked 8 hours today, ran 8 miles, made dinner, showered, and cleaned up our nasty apartment for my family that is coming tomorrow. All of this and it is 9:54. So really, on days that I am feeling like I am too stressed or too busy to do the things I want to do and be the person I want to be, I want to remember days like today to remind myself that I do, in fact, rock :o)
