I'm Back! Sort of..... ;-)

I woke up Sunday morning feeling soft all over. Just like... my muscles are dwindling away because I haven't worked out in almost a week! I still didn't promise myself a thing though. I'm not feeling it. Monday morning I start getting this burning desire to get out and run. However, it was nasty outside. The winds were gusting up to 20mph and that burning desire suddenly started cooling off & the next thing I know... it wasn't hot anymore. Furthermore, it was gone :-/

Tuesday morning I'm getting ready for work. Still not so sure if I wanna take another stab at it. But I go ahead and pack my cold gear (I've decided from now on anything under 50 degrees calls for Cold Gear - I'd much rather be hot than cold.) By lunchtime, I think it's going to be a fine idea for me to go out and do a run, under one condition and one condition only. That I float. Slow... I don't want to go out there & feel like I'm dying... because guess what?! I won't come back. So I float out a nice 4 miler - 37:08 (9:17pace). YAY! I know it's just 4 miles... at a floating pace, but hey - it's 4 miles further than I had gone in a week. While I run, lyrics from Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" run through my head. I heart Tom Petty!! He is doing the halftime show for the superbowl this year. Can't wait! So my goal is to run AGAIN this week and probably still just float.

I'm excited because this weekend Lana, Michele, & Lisa are doing the Huntsville Rocket City marathon! I am making the trip for spectator/support purposes.
