Let's do this!

1 hr 35 min elliptical hell ya'll. And a bunch of weight lifting afterwards.

Everybody hop on over to my bff's blog, julie.

Give her a shout out. It appears that she has the same pain in the asprin injury I do. Would you believe that ? She would! She says it's because she's friends with me. Julie's is not quite the pain and extent as mine, but still.....

Our friend Monica (from Gold's gym, also a runner) has the same pain in the rear too. Perhaps were all a bunch of over trainers and over striders. We've all come down with the same hurt. hehe

My injury feels better and better. I see me starting to run in two weekends from now. I could probably do it now, but I am going to allow the proper time to heal all the way. Stoked!

40 min on the arc trainer, and 40 minutes of elliptical hell ya'll.  :)

45 minutes weight lifting, then Julie and I went to spin. Holy sweaty betty! We both walked out of there dripping like we just took a shower. Gross! 

Noted: I was limping around this morning when I got to the gym, then after spin, my butt and back felt better and the limp was gone. What is up with that?

Side note: If you have never tried spinning, you are missing one of the best and hardest workouts out there. Love it.

Hello fast running blog! I ran 10 miles this morning! I did it, I did it!!  I can't believe it, 2 months is a long time without running.

I woke up this morning so tired and almost didn't go to the gym. When I got there I immediately walked up to the treadmill and stared at it. I feel like something has changed in my body the past week and so I took a little leap of faith and jumped on. I walked for the first 4 minutes to warm up. Then VERY reluctantly I turned up the tread to a 8:45 pace. Slow I know. I felt....nothing. Nothing hurt at all. So I ran that pace for 7 minutes, then I bumped it down to a walk for 2 minutes, then back to a run at a 8:45 pace again. Then 10 minutes later back to a walk. I did this maybe 4 times and decided nothing is hurting or strained, so I bumped it up to a 8:25 pace and pretty much held it there for the next 6 miles. I was seriously so happy. I even teared up a few times in disbelief. Julie came around the 4 mile mark and was shocked to see me running. She ran the rest of the way with me. I never did hurt. I am so happy.  Never take for granted YOU being able to run each day. It is so rewarding and can be such a dark and bleak thing when it's taken away.

 I'm back! Run13 races, watch out, here I come!

Everybody throw yo hands in the air, I can RUN!!!!    :)
