Running, Other Celebrations, And Shoe Advice




Good News!  I think my running legs are back!  I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but the look on my chiropractor's face at my last appointment was worth a million dollars to me.  I've been on a run every day this week and I. Feel. Great.  I got on the treadmill tonight and tried out an 8 min mile pace just to see how my legs would handle it.  I felt good but I've definitely lost a lot from not running for 4 months.  I ended up running 3.5 miles at just about an 8:40ish pace.  Ahhhh, I've missed you Dear Running!

Heart Beat UP
       Sweat on my brow
Feeling tired
                    Knowing I have it in me for one more,
minute,
     mile,
           stride.
Soul Smiling,
Heart Happy,
Feeling Fierce, Fiery, Fabulous!
I have returned.
Leaving all the worries of the day
       Behind me....

Other Celebrations and Noteworthy Blogging Material:

32 on 32:  I had 32 Followers/Blog Readers on my 32nd birthday.  Julie @ The Hotlegs Runner was my 32nd reader!  Thank you Julie!  I love learning and being inspired by so many of you!

*  I think I've actually acquired a taste for white wine!  Woah, is this what getting older does to me?

*  I'm thinking I need some new running shoes since my injury.  Running in my usual Nike Elite 4 from the Bowerman Nike Zoom series tonight and  my feet hurt.  Didn't feel right.  Not quite ready to take the barefoot running plunge so suggestions on shoes are welcome!
