8:51/9:03/8:39/8:55/9:00/9:10/8:49/8:45/8:10  At some point I need to start concerning myself with time again.  I've healed up pretty nicely and now I just need to get over the mental slump and fatigue of no-recovery catch-up running.  This week is going to be tough, but if I can get through it, I stand a reasonable chance of meeting my goals for SGM.  Does anyone else get Turrett's Sydrome while running?  When I'm really trying hard, pushing against the wind, or going up hill, or battling mental fatigue, I can not stop the steady stream of insane explitives that flow through my head.  I mean I can come up with some pretty bad ones, right in a row for a minutes at a time.   I tried really hard to replace some of it with my other Mantra's.  But those thugs just kept on knocking them right off the stage today.  I just think it's funny how well I can swear in my mind and wonder why it feels so right sometimes to do so. Well, one more day of Marathon Week under my belt. Whew.

I have it to Luz- Running induced Turrett's Syndrome. It is particularly evident in those who had Pregnancy induced Turrett's. You'll be fine! I've tried primary songs, and I just curse at them. It will be OK and you are among friends ;) Find your happy place. I think this is why I run to church music mixed with rock music. The churchie stuff soothes my heart and the rock keeps me moving along. It's the perfect combination of "relax, you'll be OK," and "GET YOUR BOOTY MOVING, SISTER!!!"
