Hello 1990! Ha with it being so nice out last night I decided to just wear my older clothes, not my new fancy shmancy running clothes. I had on my grey sweats with the elastic at the bottom and a grey sweatshirt! Lol. Nice sweatsuit! Lol. I felt like a real runner though, because after 15 minutes of running I didnt need my crew neck sweatshirt, so I dropped it on the side of the street and picked it up after I returned from the other direction. Since I didn't have my high tech gear I didn't have anywhere for my inhaler besides my bra and I had to hold my iPhone instead of securing it into my pocket. However since i had those nice elastics on the bottom I was able to turn my pants into capris ahhaah. Who knew those were 2-in-1 pants :). It was beautiful out last night and I wanted to run all night! But I got 4.55 miles in, in 39.50 minutes! I would love to be able to run all 26.2 miles at that pace or faster so I gotta keep it up... Perhaps my faster time was all that training I did in Atlanta, or perhaps it was one of my wishes coming true from the shooting star I saw Sunday night. (I made a few wishes, in hopes 1 would come true :) ). Ha. Whatever it was, I was pleased :)
I can't believe I am saying this! But I was very angry at my holy Grail today while reading the "womens marathoning" chapter while Girl was at gymnastics! Hal Higdon actually made a training schedule for when you are on your period... And the way he spoke of it was like a slap in the face or rather a gentle pat on the top of the hand saying "you are going to be ok". No shit it's just my period, not the end of the world! Last time I checked, I never for a minute thought I'd need special training treatment because of my period! I know for sure in college I got a big "that sucks, go catch that fly ball" from my coach (who was female). Gosh I'm really perturbed by that section of my book. Are there really females out there that think special treatment is needed for this monthly annoyance!?!? Get over it. Gosh that really got to me! Does this not bother other females!?
Anywho, tonight is my first bootcamp in over a week, this could get ugly :)
