So, was a little sore this morning from the mileage yesterday....didn't sleep well either. Ate too much today, but was still determined to get those miles in today. It was late getting home, but after giving the Princess her surprises for our upcoming trip to NC, I laced up those overpriced Nikes and made it happen. That is what I like to refer to as Getting it done! It was only 3 miles, but I ran hard and made it work for me. I was happy not to blow it off and make some excuse for not doing it. I have to do this.

Well, I think it was a little odd to start training on a Monday with cross training in lieu of running, so I did nothing. What does that mean? It means I didn't sleep well Sunday night and couldn't get my ass off the futon.



Yesterday, scheduled 3 miles. Completed 0!

Overslept and resolved to do it when I got off work. Got home at 10pm. He hadn't given the Princess a bath, so the run was cancelled after the Princess' beauty regime!



Finally, today....I have started. 5 Miles. It was tough...no joke. My legs are so tired at the moment. But, I got it done. It was mentally exhausting. It used to be so easy. My time is still off, but really not that bad considering my lack of running in recent months. I hope I can pull it together soon.



I was happy when it was over and proud that I accomplished it. I resolved that instead of resting on Friday, I will run the 3 miles missed yesterday so my mileage for the week won't be short. I will take it easy, because I need a 5 on Saturday and an 8 miler on Sunday.



I will be traveling Tues-Wed, so it will be a challenge to get it done on the road, but I will find a way.



This will be a long 18 week journey to California. I don't want to make the call again and make excuses for why I didn't train and why I am not going. I have to do this. I need to do this. I need to have something positive happen in my life. These last few months have been trying and difficult. I just have to find that power again.



Strength over time = POWER!

Training for the marathon starts tommorrow. Am I really going to do this again? I have to stay focused. This will be hard considering all that is going on. I feel so drained already. Will run through the tears if that is what it takes. Wish me luck.

So tonight I accept another challenge. Again, it is California. 26.2 miles with a couple of trips across the Golden Gate bridge. But, it's SF! SF = Hills. Training on Texas flat land is not going to help me. I don't know if I am ready to take on this endeavor. I have alot of work to do. It will be cake for them. It will be Hell for me. But, I realize I have to do this. It is me. So, California here I come!
