day five

hmm...
i think i am dying, plain and simple.

ha.
i'll be back later tonight to post details of my afternoon run, if i make it there..

day three

so other than being utterly exhausted.. today is a happy day!
my husband is a go on the business idea, we hear back tomorrow if we are able to do it.. :)
really, i'm trying to stay busy and moving all day long.. but a nap at this point sounds soooo good.
jordan leaves tonight for almost a week, and that leaves me with all pet duties... which is a lot with 3 animals! I'm going to have to get up earlier every morning... even less sleep... argh.

my mission tonight is to go home, say good bye to jordan, play with josh.. have dinner, and then go run... i'll fill in details later.

love love

day two

so after a very productive run at the gym last night.. i busted out a few "somewhat" happy times..
mile one -- 12:09
mile two -- 10:17
mile three -- 8:43
mile four -- 13:01
mile five -- 9:23

you can see around mile four i got a little involved in watching the television and forgot to turn up the pace.. haha.. i was drenched in sweat by the end of my little race.. i'm going to need to get a hat or something, my breathing was very labored... not being able to breathe through my nose is a HUGE pain in the rumpus rear..

i had to cancel my doctors appointment today to get my nose looked at, i decided being poor was more important at the moment then going flat arse broke.. *sighs*

i found a great website last night online that lists all events in your state, there is a couple 5k's for the middle of April.. my husband (being the ever so positive supporter) said he thinks that it may be a little too soon for me to try racing... well his key words were "do you think you could do a 5k already?" hmmmm... maybe? one i looked at because it is near my house does a bit on a trail.. I am not sure if my treadmil legs are ready to take it off road.. which yes, i do understand i need to get out there and do it.. but I am rather scared still of my hip deciding its going to take a mini vacation and die, or become lazy and twist out of socket...

somewhere, somehow i will make it... even if i have to tie myself to my husband and have him drag me across the finish line..

which by the way, he makes me super angry... really annoying to think a kid who could care less about running can do a 5:30 minute miles... mile after mile... angers the heck out of me... why couldn't god have given me the power to do that!!?!?!?

my whine fest is over...
my gym time may be shorter tonight, I don't get home until almost 10'ish as it is tonight... willpower willpower willpower...

day one

So as I layed in bed this morning I was feeling inspired, and I said to myself.. "self, today you are really going to do it!" I have decided to create a blog of my journeys to the finish-line. It is a scary feeling to think that there is only 195 days left until the big day.. which gives me a huge stomachache thinking about it... but, i'm going to do it.

I know I have been running, trying faithfully to run everyday... I've had to take a little break, I am having some serious sinus problems and it is affecting my running capabilities.. I am unable to breathe at all through my nose.. no, I don't have boogers.. no, I haven't shoved pickles up each side and its blocking my way, BUT I do have 100% swollen shut nasal passage ways.. it has been this way for a while, but now I can't even sit comfortably and try breathing through my nose without feeling like I'm suffocating.... and I HATE that feeling..

however, i'm off to the gym.. we'll see how today goes...
