i can't walk, but i can still run!

I worked out yesterday with Tanya and man am I sore today! She kicked my butt, literally. My butt is so sore from the exercises she had me doing yesterday. I can barley walk. But I can still run! Yesterday afternoon I started stiffening up and was wondering how I would manage to get out of bed this morning to run. But I did! I didn't feel like I needed to take the day off since I took Tuesday and Thursday off and just worked out. And I had the desire to get a good run in, so I took off running down Main Street this morning.

The first couple of miles were tough because I was so sore. The hills were even worse because those muscles I use to run uphill are those I worked out yesterday. Probably looked a little funny trying to run. But I managed to get past the 2 mile mark and make my way over to Cleveland Park to finish out the run. It was pretty humid this morning too and made me have flashbacks of Savannah. The air was so thick! At least there aren't any sand gnats around here, or they would have been following me around like the plague. All in all though, it was a good run this morning and put me in a really good mood this morning.

I was reading my Runner's World magazine the other night and came across this story by Bart Yasso. It's a good read and provides a bit of inspiration. And for those who don't know, Bart Yasso is a columnist for Runner's World and is also a big time runner. He has done just about every marathon in the US and some 150 international events. He's just a bad ass runner and is even the creator of the Yasso 800s, which help you reach a goal time in your marathon. But anyway... check out his article The World According to Bart Yasso. And if you don't feel like reading the entire thing, definitely skip to the section entitled "A Taco Bell Nightmare" on page 4. It's hilarious! 

So that's it for today! I need to get working on my fundraising letters and all that other fun stuff! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
