Knives Everywhere

Went to bed last night all inspired and pumped up to run 40mins today. I even have all of my weeks clothes lined up on my dresser for each day this week so it makes it very easy to get out of bed and right into my running attire.

So I woke up this morning still excited to run/walk and Andy was really going to be impressed that I would come downstairs with my running gear on and actually follow through with my big plans to finish this training and the half marathon.

While putting on my socks, I lifted my neck wrong and pulled something making it impossible for me to put my head back, look right or look left. But that didnt stop me... I walked down the stairs like a palatapus (sp) flapping my feet because my shin, thigh, butt, upper back and neck muscles are so sore all I can do is flop to walk... even that wasnt going to stop me!

I had my coffee, powerbar (which btw is like eating cardboard) packed my water fanny pack and was headed flopping out the door..

I was about 10mins into my 40min training and I started feeling knives in my neck, in my legs, in my shins and the little rock that managed to find its way into my right shoe was not helping either... then what put me over the edge were the stomach cramps that were like a million knives stabbing me in my fat belly. At about minute 13 is where I turned around and walked back the 13 minutes home. I almost called Andy to pick my sorry ass up, but no I hobbled home.

Even though today was not 40mins of pure joy of running, I am proud to log 26:39 mins of agony.

Tomorrow is cross training day- that means I get to ride my bike for 45mins YAY.. I can't wait for that because its easy and Im use to it!

Run on my friends!
