Great run!

I did it.  My first run after the Ragnar and a cortisone shot.  I planned on an easy three - I made it four miles and enjoyed every minute of it!  I started really slow but once I corrected my form, leaned forward and held my head up high I felt great!  I ran one minute faster per mile without any increase in effort.  I kept my cadence high and with the perfect weather I felt amazing!  I reviewed in my head how good the Napa run was and how great I felt about my accomplishments.  I real inspirational run!

The park was looking absolutely perfect.

Even the "alleged" homeless man was taking a wonderful nap.  Or passed out, either way it was a great day!

Wore my new Lululemon!  I had to wear a more substantial bra under the tank but still loved it.  I started with a long sleeve half zip but tossed it back in the care after the first round.

With the pants.  I was trying to get a full body to send to Tera.  Not because the clothes make me look better but how the clothes look period.

Here is the sweaty finish pic.  After this run I finally washed my hair.  When I have it de-grayed (colored) it goes almost a week without getting too gross. 

I might have gone a day too long this time. 

BEST NEWS EVER!!

One week until those nasty braces come off!!  With all the wires and elastics around all the brackets it's impossible to show a white pearly smile.  Not to mention the hours I spend a day trying to keep the food out of the wires.  The pain is pretty much over, but I'm done.  I get them off next Tuesday and can't wait to smile without getting my top lip stuck on the brackets.

Last time I worked I was helping push the wheels down on a stretcher and pulled my right groin muscle.  It was a little sore and I could tell that I did it. When I did my BarrEvo class it didn't bother me at all and even with my Pilates I totally forgot about it.  After about 1/2 mile running I could tell it was there.  It made sure I was aware of it through out my run.  I really stretched it out after the run and it feels fine.  Funny how it just came up again with running.  I don't even know how to treat a groin muscle. Do you ice it?  Get a massage?  Awkward.  haha

Have you ever had any injuries that you can't even tell are there until you start your run?

I had a knee injury a few years ago that felt great until about the 5th step into a run

What is your favorite running outfit?

When you are feeling awesome about running, what sort of thoughts do you have?
