Due to an injury, I have been unable to run for the past week. I am out for the next 4 days. It is literally killing me. A friend is running Disney. Yes...Disney! MY favorite place on Earth and she gets to run it! JEALOUS! Another good friend is booked to run in Hawaii!!! JEALOUS! I see people running down the street in the awesome, early spring weather we have been having and I want to hit them...just kidding-kind of! (It's all out of jealousy!) Really, I am very happy for all of them, but my smile did get bigger when a friend told me her run yesterday gave her boob chaffing. Mean, I know, but she did tell me to make me feel better. I wonder if she was lying???
Why is it that I want to run more now then ever before? Probably because someone has told me not to...mean Doctor! I know this is one of my faults. Someone tells me not to do something, and it's exactly what I want to do. Like in college, my parents lectured me for hours on the reasons not to get a tattoo. You know what? I now have three! I consider them artwork...my body the canvas for beauty.
I do have to give my awesome doctor credit-I can cross train. I have enjoyed spin classes and the ellipitcal (well not so much the ellipitcal, but it's better than nothing!) I have enjoyed sleeping in this weekend, although it might kill me to get up before 5 am on Thursday for my first run in a week and a half. But, I'll put my big girl panties on, wipe the sleep out of my eyes, and run with a BIG smile on my face! (Anyone who wants to witness me smiling at 5 am is more than welcome to join me...just let me know!)
I'll end this post with a warning...if you are running down the street the next 4 days, look behind you. JUST KIDDING!
Off to sign up for my next race! A 10K in April. Anyone want in? If not...what DO YOU WANT?
