Rocking running shoes!

Are these cool or what?

I am in love!

Hells yeah!

I got my new running shoes the other day!  Can't wait to try them out on the Rail Trail.  They are BLUE.  I am in love - they are sssssooo awesome!

Like I said - I may not be the best runner but damnit, I'll be cute as hell out there doing it.  :) 

I ran 3.9 miles today and I ran the whole way.  It was very slow running, but running nonetheless.  I feel like I'm slowly GETTING there.  At least I hope so!

This is the reason I love the Rail Trail!

Pam and I were able to go to the Rail Trail twice this week and I can't tell you how happy we were to get out there.  It's still hot as H-E-L-L but when we had a drop in the temperature and it stayed under 90, we couldn't pass up the opportunity.  I miss the Rail Trail sssooo much.  We had two really good, hot runs.  I can totally tell the difference between running on the dreadmill and running outside.  I think we were both amazed at how far we were able to run those two days.  It rocked!!!!

So I snapped a few pictures to show everyone just how awesome the Rail Trail is - I am so glad we found this place to run.  It gives me huge motivation!

I mean, how AWESOME are these pictures?  Run baby run!

Hells Yeah!

So, I don't want to jinx myself BUT I really feel like I may have gotten over my running plateau.  I've slowed down my pace on the "dreadmill" lately and I've noticed that I have been able to run longer and farther. I can't tell you how happy I am! 

I ran almost a whole mile without stopping on Wednesday.  I know that doesn't sound like a huge accomplishment if you're a runner but for someone like me - it's ENORMOUS!  It was on the treadmill (aka dreadmill) but hey, it's too frigging hot here to run outside.  I can't wait for cooler weather so I can run on the Rail Trail again.  I never thought a year ago that I would be able to run like this.  It's a high that I absolutely LOVE.

To treat myself for the achievements, I purchased some new running shoes.  I'll post pictures when I get them.  They are super cool.  I may not be the greatest runner, but I sure in hell look cute doing it!  :)
