Today I was scheduled for a Recovery Run and I wanted to go 4-5 miles. I could have sworn I ran 5 miles, but I only made it 4. I felt like I was running in reverse today---my feet weighed a ton from my wet soggy sneakers, and the wind was wicked. I got my first running blister ever---darn, wet shoes.
Here is a picture of the part of the path (notice the ducks in the background)
In some of the larger puddles (yes, larger than this one), the ducks were swimming around:
When I got home, I was unable to open the garage door--car opener did not work---key pad did not work---finally realized we had no power---thankfully, I found some house keys in my glove compartment or I would have really been screwed since Ray is going to be home late (he is going to a Devils game, box seats---lucky guy). Finally made it in the house---no electricity---no water pressure----no sump pump working---quickly flooding basement---not to mention, since I took a spin class in the am and then ran 4 miles, I was smelling pretty ripe and was counting on that shower. Just as I was getting ready for a wipey shower (baby wipes)--thinking that was the best I could do and I had to roll with the punches--the power came back on and I spent the next hour shop vacing the basement--yeah!
I caught the bug in August 2009. I had NEVER run before that. In fact, I was pretty sure that I hated running; bamboo under the fingernails was more appealing to me. That being said----I gave it a try. I started the couch 25K program (incremental running) and I was hooked. In fact, June 2011 I became certified RRCA running coach; I want to share my passion for running with everyone.I love running outside (love/hate relationship with my treadmill) and I LOVE running with friends. The more the merrier!
