2nd time today
Then there was tonight -- I have been reflecting back on this week and realized -- I am very PROUD of me :O)
For tonight, third night in a row, I have now worked out twice in a day and have gotten up at 5 am to do so !!
This is amazing -- It feels amazing and it is showing on the outside to others...not necessarily in things such as weight loss, but more so on the 'glow' of happiness from the outside in.
Thank you to my HP for allowing me to become willing, stay open-minded and also courageous to live life to the fullest for today I was able to enjoy me, my HP and my children as well as work!! Believe it or NOT .. my life ROCKS!!
Good Night dearest friends!!

This morning I have begun a new schedule that includes 2 workouts per day, at least. Don't go freaking out !! These are very short lived workouts and they are to get in my miles, build up my muscles and also get my body ready to get back to the longer distances, that are soon upon myself.
I went into the Physical Therapist last week and discussed issues I was having once again. Here I thought I would be out of running all together, yet, I was wrong !! Thank Goodness!! For my running is my outlet and if I do not have that, I am really not all there!! ( not that I am all there anywho :P )
He shared with me that he believes that my muscles are adjusting to the orthos that I have been and continue to wear. So far, he has helped me to get back to running without much pain, so I will go with it.
He gave me a set of tape around the knee area -- it looks like this:
( Darker image )
He said, if this helps performance he will order more for myself and we will continue use. It did seem to help some, so .. I might possibly be suckered into this one.
Yet, another thing I am trying along with the shorter runs, is to not run outside. The uneven ground seems to upset the muscles. I will be on the dreadmill through out the rest of the winter .. ugh .. I am GRATEFUL though that I am able to run :O)
I will also be making some time with my personal trainer for I need to do some strengthening again. I am unable to do the lounges/squats at this time as well... so off to Fitness 4 Life to get some new workouts :O)
Well friends -- I must sign off now and I will continue to keep you updated!! For the race in coming up in Feb and I will run it :O) Possibly not my fastest half, yet, it will be considered another half !!
Push on dear friends, push on !!

Today was a good day :O)
I was able to get in a 3.5 miler.
It was nice to enjoy the snow falling -- yet -- I wish I would have put on my spikes to run. AS I seemed to hit a few ice patches that I did not notice under the fallen snow. I did NOT fall, tho :O)
I am excited to get back into training. I know that it will not take long for my body to understand we are running again and to adjust to the difference. Waiting, on the other hand for this to occur, is a different story!! HA !! Good thing I have my Team R.E.D. members to vent on !!
I was able to share my running experience over the weekend with some beautiful women -- it felt amazing to hear what they see and to be able to share where and how I got to where I am today!!
The best thing I heard was:
If YOU can do it -- SO can I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* PUSH on dear friends -- PUSH ON!!

Good Morning to all of my followers !!!
What an amazing beginning to a year !!! I was able to be blessed to complete a 5k on 1/1/11!!! Yet, it was not a PR - it was something that I have never done !! For it was horrible wind chill and freezing!! I was able to run with the spikes that I had purchased as well as the new winter gear!!!
The year of 2010 was amazing for me for my second year in running ( tech. began running in '09). This year, 2011, is going to be that much more phenomenal !! Heres the list of races at this time:
Feb - Half Marathon in Austin TX
May - Full Marathon in Roch. MN
June - Half Marathon in Seattle WA
Let us see what else there is to throw in there. I may also do a warrior run in the summer as well :O)
This is going to be a GREAT year with AMAZING things happening !! I am not only saying this for the running part of life, I am saying this for the entire life in itself!!
Lets DO this thing!!
