Running on a wing and a prayer - Week of May 3

Lime, you should have asked him sweetly to come out and join ya! Now everybody here has said really nice inspirational things, and I ditto all of what they have said, but I am a street fighter by nature, take it or leave it, scrappy to the core, and since somebody has to say it...


Go to hell buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I am done now...

BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys....

I have been running and not posting, lazy. I am still struggling to get a routine down post injury. So I am trying all kinds of different permutations of a schedule. Today I decided to get up a bit early and try running in the morning. I went out at 4:30 am, did about 35 mins. I do not like running on the road, but I felt good, so I will take it. I may start doing it every Thursday.

WOAH! I can't believe some people.

I bet that a-hole who said something... NEVER runs. Or rides a bike. Or does anything that looks like exercising. Anyone who is an athlete, would never belittle anyone else who is out there doing it.

Just hearing that makes me so ticked off!

You are a good person to move past it Limelight. And you are right, don't let someone like that guy have control over YOUR life. He's not worth it.


In running news... I've had a dismal showing this week.

Tuesday I had a one-hour run after work. Started to run. Tons of lower leg pain. I pressed through it and did 5.25 miles ending up with a 11:20 minute mile. So sad, when just a week before I was running a 9 minute mile.

I had a one-hour run this morning and did it on the treadmill since I won't run in the dark alone. The pain in my lower legs was more than I could tolerate and it ended up being one-hour walk. Did 4.70 miles with a 12:46 minute mile.

This Sunday I'm doing 12 miles. Which means about 2 hours and 20 minutes for me. I hope it goes better than my other sessions this week. *Sigh*

I couldn't convince DH to go for a little walk in between rain storms, so I had to run today - especially since I blew off riding last night because of the weather.

I didn't feel like driving somewhere just to go for a run, so I ran from home, which I don't much like to do. For one thing the surface is very hard and there's a steep hill before I'm really warmed up. But mostly I don't like it because it's a rural road. It's quiet and scenic - but it's narrow, there are blind hills, there's no shoulder (not even an unpaved one), and what traffic there is, is going 50-60 mph.

Anyway I put on my Xinglet and went out. The weather was just right actually - it didn't start to rain again until I was back home, stretched out and getting ready to shower. 4.3 miles.

Lime, stand strong for yourself, don't let others get you down, you will always have our support here, glad that you talk about it, hope you feel better now.
Ok, let's go for a run with smile on your face, because we are proud of you for doing the right thing. See you outside.

I got 6 miles easy run today.

Hugs Limewave - it just floors me the ignorance and disgusting rudeness of some people. I'm sorry you had to hear it.

Lime, that is just dorked up. I hope they were teenagers, at least, because I hate to think adults would be that way. In so many ways it comes back on them but it's still hurtful. I remember things like that in high school but I can't comprehend going through that now. I guess the only consolation is that they aren't happy people; how could someone content with their life be so hateful to someone else? I'm glad you realize that you are content with who you are. They'll learn, eventually.

I ran 2.5 miles yesterday. I beat my last 2.5 mile time by 1 second! I'm actually pleased because it didn't hurt after I warmed up and I wasn't sore today. I'm trying really hard to stretch so hopefully it's working. I actually can run under a 10 minute mile though I don't know how long I could sustain it. We will see.
