After not running in ages, and getting on the scale only to make myself miserable, I dusted off my running shoes and strapped on my Garmin. It was cold outside. But the skies were a combination of blue and white and the sun was shining. It didn't help that I was given a nasty cough from Mr. Wonderful and the kids. Add that to trying to run against a stiff wind......
Yeah, I know I am complaining. I'm a complainer. The only disability is a bad attitude. Chalk it up to being angry with myself for stopping my running habit and gaining weight as a result. I am not happy with myself at the moment. At least I got out. I'm proud that I did run (1 mile non stop at 11:30/mi. and the second mile off and on because I was coughing so much. I didn't get the third mile in at all).
Last night I got online to check out blog and saw that my sweet Sis-in-love had a similar idea and dusted off her running shoes, too. I feel a kinship with that woman. She is one of my heroes.

Good for you Carrie! You can only do it one run at a time, right? Hang in there. You'll get back into it!
You go Girl! I am glad you are getting back into running. It always good to do what you love. I am more of a speed walker and I love hiking. The only running I do is after my kids oh and if you held a big nice chuck of chocolate in front of me I may run for that as well.
Go Carrie Go!!!! Don't be so hard on your self girlfriend.
It will come back fast. I signed up for the Richmond marathon in November. They have a half marathon. Come on! It would be so fun!
