Jet Fuel....

Is what must have been in my salad at lunch today...because I ran 2 miles in 19:55 which is 9:57 pace....runnnnnn forest runnnnn, that's right bloggy peeps hunky chunky mama dogged out two miles with below 10 minute paces (ok I realize just barely, but I did it!)

It Hurt...when I hit my two mile mark, I wanted to lay down and roll UP my street to my house, I even consider how bad it would actually look, afraid of being hit by a car I choose to crawl, there was no way anyone could miss this big ole booty (also loving known as Gallatea). Ok ok so I walked home but it took everything I had to get there!

That run was seriously awesome, I told everyone who would listen, and I felt like such a awesome runner chick.....ok now I have to keep this up for more miles! How do I get there? I have been doing some major research! I will be zippy before I know it, or at least that is what I hope!

Anyhow, I choose to do this today because I had to get my brain back in the game, making myself believe that I am indeed a runner and I want to be, because it is run's like this make it worth every minute of mental and physical toughness...

I am off to the races again this weekend! Another 5k this time in Rehobeth beach Delaware...it is supposed to rain buckets but oh well the show must go on! I have a 34.43 time stamp on my forehead I have to BEAT IT!!! or at least that is my goal!

If you are running this weekend I wish you all the speed,endurance and mental toughness you might need!

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. Yeah! I always love to be under the 10 minute mile mark even if it is just a few seconds below! :)

    Hoping (my ankle is doing weird things) to make it to my 4 mile race tomorrow. It is suppose to rain here too.

    Happy Running!

  4. Wow that's awesome!!!! You are super speedy!! The race atmosphere will help you keep at or below that 10 min/mile pace and you'll knock that 34min mark out of the park this weekend!
