Running Again….

I haven’t posted an update on my running lately – that’s because there hasn’t really been an update.  I was sick for a week, and didn’t run, and then I tried to run after a week, and couldn’t really move because I was still sick, and then I had a doctor appointment and didn’t have time to run, and well, you get the point.  So, I was going to run a 5K on Saturday, but I decided against it because I didn’t think I could do it.  But, I decided to re-start my routine on Saturday, and ended up being able to fully finish 5K without stopping to walk.  So go me!

Today, I headed out on a 5 mile run, and found my muscles really stiff at first.  After about 3/4 of a mile, when I wanted to start walking, I saw a license plate that said “NVRSTOP”.  Truly.  I almost stopped to take a picture with my iPhone, but then, well, that would have meant I would need to stop.  I didn’t stop, by the way, and made it over 2 miles before I did finally slow to a walk.

On another note, I totally was sucked in to buying my “official” Expedition Everest 5K photo, and I’m calling BS on Miss Chalean Johnson, who keeps claiming that women can’t bulk up with ChaLEAN Extreme.  I was looking for fit arms, not scary woman arms.  I’ll have to start doing pilates or something to get down the bulk.

The next race is a Thanksgiving 5 Mile Run.
