Stroller pushin in Texas

I seriously watched the marathon from start to finish today.  Such an awesome race to watch!  I got a text from RAD right when she finished and she was as high as a kite until it all went down.  Just sucks.  

I didn't run, I didn't eat and last night (Mon night) I did not sleep.  I am just sick sick about all of this!! I really don't know if I have as much desire to get back to Boston like I did just 24 hours ago.  I am so sad that anyone would threaten they very gift  I am so greatly thankful for every day.  I think because I have so much of a passion for running, it makes this even that much worse.  It has cut me to the soul.  I hope they catch the SOB that did this!  Even if they do, racing will NEVER be the same.  So tragic.

I ran on base today in the morning.  Such a beautiful day, cool and humid.  Before the run I sat in my car and stared into space.  It hurt just to think about running.  I question why I train and why I care?  I run for freedom and joy.  Why would some threaten the very gift I am thankful for everyday?

I am a runner.  We are runners.  We will run!!! I got out of my car and started running.  When I am emotional, I usually just cry and have to pull to the side of the road and cry cry cry.  Not today.  Running felt good.  Running is a gift.  I saw other runners out on the path and waved and said "Good morning" to each of them.  It just felt so amazing knowing I could just run.

I saw a turtle on the golf course at mile 1.4 and stopped and stared at it and watched it hide in it's shell.  So innocent.  How could anyone hurt a creature, or someone else?  We are all God's children and we all belong on this planet together.  We have to get along.  What would the world be like if we all ran?

8:00 AP 

Went to Bikram today at noon.  Still hurt. 

Ran outside in what felt like a warm swimming pool.  I am pretty sure it's 100% humidity out.  Felt like junk.

7 miles in the early morning before leaving San Antonio.  The last mile David drove by with a bag of breakfast tacos out the window.  For sure I turned the speed up when I saw that!  Moved back to Del town.

Moved all day.

8 miles around the base.  I think I am going to tally every time I make this run. Happy with a 7:40 AP
