I've had an awful few days. DB has reared his ugly head and I've been dealing with that emotional baggage. I can't even talk about it, it's just so...frustrating.
Anyway in my quest to turn myself into an official runner I've done two things 1. Started following a bunch of runners' blogs for motivation. And 2. Signed up for my first 5k. I'm running with my friend and neighbor Drunk Danny aka Danny no pants aka Ginger.
All of the blogs talk about how running is their therapy, an outlet, and Since I was so upset when I came home Danny and I went for our first run together =2.06 miles, at a faster clip than normal. he's in better shape than he pretends, plus he used to actual be a competitive athlete so he's pushing me more than I'd like.
It helped tremendously. It really did.
I've also started run/walking with my downstairs neighbor. She'd been asking to go walking with me for awhile but it hadn't happened until this week. Even though I had already ran earlier she and I went for a brisk 2 mile walk tonight as well. That chicka walks super fast!
This has all left me feeling great but exhausted!
Riverwalk Run is in 17 days. I'm so nervous/excited!
