Feeling Good

You probably won't hear me say this often - but I'm feeling pretty good about running right now.  I've started some cross training and forcing myself (and Pam) NOT to run too much.  And I'm seeing some results which is AAAWWWWEEEESSSSSOOOMMMEEEE.  I'm working my hotness on the elipitical machine and doing some upper body work too.  I can die a happy woman if my legs *and* arms get toned. 

Know the best result of all?  My endurance!  I can run a little longer now and I totally think that kicks major ass.  I could cry that's how happy I am.  Of course, I still have a ways to go, but it's improvement.  I like improvement.  My arch enemy the treadmill has helped me build my endurance.....I don't run on it all the time, but it's a nice training tool.

So, maybe it's the head rush or all those crazy hormones running supposedly releases while you're doing it - but I'm considering doing a half marathon in November.

Say what????

Gotta have it

This is my new MUST have in my running journey.  It speaks so many truths about why I run.  :)
