Lonely Run

Points of the Day-

• Monta- My running partner was gone!! :( I missed her so.... She said she would go running with me on Monday to get our long run in. So this morning I contemplated going, but my guilt got to me and I was like fine I'll go.

• I could not get my MP3 player to work, so I had to use Gary's cell phone and the only music he has downloaded is country music. I like some country music, but it is really not running music by far. I really thought I'll go around the block be bored to death with no one to talk too.

• Did not even bring water. I know I had tons of confidence in myself. I really thought I would last maybe a mile.
  

• I started off and I felt good and I just kept going then, then I hit 3 and I thought well even if I turn around it is 6, so I mine as well do all 8.
  

• Okay before I even start this point I must clarify if anyone tells me they are in pain I am the first one to say stop you will regret it later and I strongly believe that. And running 8 miles without water I would never in a million years tell someone to run a mile without water. I am doing good no need to worry. But this last week has been a tough week for me my self confidence is pretty darn low. I really just want to be weight wise where I was last year. I kind of just feel like crap about myself. But when I got to mile 6 my ankle felt like it was going to give out and then 7 my arches started hurting. But I needed to run through it. I feel so much better after this run, it's hard to explain but I really needed this run.

I survived and it was a good run. I am sore! The plan for the upcoming week is probably 2 long runs. Monta and I are going to do one Monday afternoon and then the normal one on Saturday. I really wish the weight would start coming off. I really hope it's because of the breast feeding and once I stop in May the weight will fall off.

By the way loving the widget!
