Buried

First Welcome all you new bloggy peeps! I am glad you are here! Don't be a creeper and lurk around, say hi! I love new blog friends!

I am buried...not in a pile of snow, not under my own weight but under 5,987,576,890,087 tissues!! My nose is raw, my ears are popping and I am freaking out that I can't run...which is kinda funny when I think about it!

So today I did something I rarely do and I sucked it up and went to see the Doctor!! Now I usually ride out cold for quite sometime and often act stubborn and suffer but dude, seriously I have not run since last week and I can't stand it!! So I basically begged the doc to help me with my stuffiness, she told me I had severe sinus infection and a double ear infection!...as a quick side note I am basically allergic to any fabulous drug there is available and have to settle for the few that won't kill me, but are not as effective!

So alas, I am downing a z-pack,mucinex-dm,sudaffed and advil around a very specific clock! When little miss (my 3 year old) told me today that I looked like I had lost my mind, I pretty much had nothing to say except to agree with her! Anyhow I have completely forgotten that February is over and need a quick recap!

I ran 27 miles this month!! Holy smokes! I pretty much started blogging the last day of January and I got hooked so fast, so February was my first full month of blogging and it totally rocked! I also had a big cross over this month! I went from hating to run and just doing it because I wanted to loose some weight, to completely loving it! I am trying to chase down all you speed demons out there! I actually crave running now, and I also let go of the weight obsession I was on! and you know what the weight is going away on it's own..yeaahh!

So I ran more than my projected 25 miles and I lost a jean size...I would say successful month!! For March I would like to hit 35 miles and do well in the two races, I have coming up for this month!! The first and second 5k's of my life!

As for my blog I am just going to keep throwing out my random thoughts while running, oh and you people really like free stuff, which I can totally appreciate so don't miss myGiveaway.

While I really love all you bloggy people out there, I must go to bed, a good night sleep may do wonders for my illness and the sooner that is gone the better!! I am sorry if I have not made it around to comment on your blog yet, I will blame it on my drug induced coma and hope that I can get around to you soon!
