Its been a while since I posted. Half of that is because I was away on a wonderful holiday for the bf's sister's wedding in Cuba, half of it because I have been swarmed at work, half of it is because i was lazy, half is because i didnt know if i wanted to continue blogging and the last half is because my blog was down. Everytime i tried to sign in it said that the blog was 'under construction'. I dont know what happened, but i think its ok now! Hopefully!
There is a lot to catch up on. I will do a post on Cuba. I will do a post on my New Years resolutions and goals. And I will do a post on 2011. All in due time, my friends!
Today I want to talk about FIRST.
you know...the usual, you first kiss, your first date......just kidding, just kidding.
i want to tell you about my first 2 runs of 2012.
(old picture from my first Trail race)
My first run of 2012 was on January 3, 2012 at around 6 pm. at my condo gym on the treadmill. It was the day after we got back from Cuba. At this point, i have not ran in like 4 weeks and have not workouted out in over a week. It was tough. it was sweaty. There was a lot of huffin and puffin. I ran 2 miles in 24 minutes and just wanted the run to be over with.
My first outdoor run was on Friday, January 6, 2012 at about 6 pm with the bf. We both had vacation blues, we both had a shitty day at work, we both had a headache. I wanted nothing but to crawl into bed and sleep for 14 hours straight. But instead, we decided to get fresh air and go for a run.
We ran a total of 2 miles in around 22 minutes and were both smiling at the end. It was beautiful!
This was one of my fave runs ever!
The whole time i was enjoying myself. The whole time I was smiling.
We both loved it. Our headaches were gone and our spirits were lifted.
Thank you running gods for making this run wonderful and reminding me why I love running.
Im back to LOVING RUNNING!!!!!
And ps. i love the winter running. i cannot wait to get out there again. Maybe tonite??? YAY
Last but not least.....
I signed up for 2 races!

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about Cuba. Sounds like you are getting back into the swing of things!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're back!! I did not register but I am thinking of doing Harry Rosen again as its a great cause close to my heart. I have had no desire to run except for some quick ones with my dog so we'll see if I can get out of this funk!

Your cheerful, positive attitude is why I always read your post. No matter how shitty the day is, you always can find the silver lining. :)

Ohhh can't wait to hear your recap of Cuba. We were there 10 years ago and I loved it! Hope you had a great time.

ReplyDeleteGlad your back and back to loving your runs! Winter running is awesome, isn't it? It's so hard to take the first step outside, but once you're warm it's great!
