RUN FOREST RUN!

So ladies and gentlemen! Today was my first day back on the running circuit since I found out I was sick a month or so ago. It was really hard and frustrating for me to run and not see any progress. I am over it now and I just really want to be healthy. I have so much going on in my life with school and work that I can not afford to be sick. Which by the way I am...gnarly sinus infection, which also by the way, makes it SO much fun to run when you can't breath out of your nose!
  So a girl I work with Becky and I have decided to sign up for our first marathon. We both started training today. We are going to do the Disney Princess Run:) You can wear tiaras and princess skirts over your running clothes! I am going to be Princess Aurora , so I will wear two different color pinks and she is going to be Belle, so she will wear gold/yellow. We are both super excited! There are 125 days till the race and after this morning's experience...we have much to do! The disney princess run is at the end of February and goes through Disney and Epcot. We are making our own shirts that have the princess names that we are on the back and maybe a saying..something like "you don't have to wear a glass slipper to run like a princess..or "take of those glass slippers and run like a real princess". I dunno..My brain is working.:) The money raised goes to cancer research for lymphoma and leukemia which is a great cause! I am going to try to also run the Breast cancer run in Jacksonville two weekends before..I think it will be great practice.
   So this morning I woke up with a sense of destiny...I think:)! I knew even sick I was destined to run this morning! Well...I got a little ahead of myself. I mapped out a 4 mile run through a neighborhood..that would bring me back to my condo and THEN up and over the bridge..FIRST MISTAKE! Probably should have ran the 74 feet incline up and back FIRST before hitting the flat road but nope sure didn't. I ran through the neighborhood just fine and about half way up the bridge and 2 1/2 miles into my run I felt my life flash before my eyes and I just knew I was gonna die right there on the hathaway..?does anyone have an oxygen tank and a nasal cannula laying around up here? ...what a way to go! I did stop and stretch and walk the rest of the uphill battle than I ran full speed downhill...where I proceeded to try and miss a pile of dog poo (WHO lets there dog poop on the bridge..that is SO nasty! and by the looks of it ...it was a MONSTER dog!) and the little old lady blocking my path and I took a slight dive down the bridge..luckily I walked away with only my ego bruised and a little bit of an ankle limp. Flipping dog poo!
  I can feel the soreness already sinking in...my body is TICKED off at me..oh well whats new...my immune system hates my thyroid and my muscles hate me...GET OVER IT!:) Tomorrow we are running an area Becky mapped out in her neighborhood...it is flat road so I should do much better! We shall see!

DAY TWO here we come..but first I need a soak in the jacuzzi tub!

BTW if anyone wants to do the Disney Run let me know! It would be awesome if we had all the major princess and ran as a group! The princess Run is for women only but they have a mens run also that night. I need to know by November 30. We run together every Saturday morning/afternoon depending on the weather and the rest of the week it is up to you to train! We just started today so you won't be behind!

Until next time!
Peace out little debbies...and Run like the wind:)

ps. the music at the bottom is the playlist I used this morning to run. There are more songson there but these are my favorites and the ones without too many bad words..I like to run to rap sometimes:) haha
