No morning run

I got up this morning to run and apparently the baby was up too, and not willing to run. I got up late anyway, incase this happened, and my backup plan was for the afternoon. I could just feel movement and it made it feel like a stitch. I'm in SUCH a better mood when I run in the morning. I can totally tell. Last night, I signed up for the Philly marathon. I probably won't run it and I knew this as I clicked submit, but I wanted the option of it! I justified it by thinking that 2 tutoring sessions (usually what I do per week) will earn me more than the cost of the race. So that if I have to eat the race money, then really I'm making it back by tutoring every week. Justified - yes! I just didn't want it to sell out. My plan is mainly to do the 1/2 if I still can anyway (just stop half way) but that was sold out so I had to sign up for the full. We'll see what happens. I'm a lunatic.

Last night's yoga was more balancing then stretching and deep poses and my balance right now is horrendous, so it wasn't my favorite class so far. Showoff teacher was back doing a split (booo) - I couldn't even get close.

Other than that, I signed up for a 5 miler at the end of October, and there's a 10k early November. Those distances sound more do-able but I'm going to find out what my doctor says about long runs and continuing them and see how running goes in the next few weeks!

I feel like I need more pictures. I'm still upset I forgot my camera this weekend for the race :(

Happy Day!

  2. I am interested to see what your doctor says about running the longer distances. I think it is definitely do-able just depends on how you feel!

  3. Enjoy your afternoon run (look at you all prepared and adaptable with a Plan B). And did I mention how I love your crazed uber-competitiveness. You rock N-slice.

  5. Even if you don't, at least if you want to, you CAN!! It's great to have options... Even if it's losing $100+. But at least you're heart is willing. That is so awesome!
