    courtknee is upset with Joe.

    today... 1 week ago

    went for a run today, got a bloody nose 5 mins in. changed the route to 1.23 miles, ended up walking the second half. screw running while I’m sick. i hope I get better soon!



    Marci 4 weeks ago

    Marci is a good friend of mine that has motivated me to start running again. She needed a running partner and I know I need one if I am going to get back into it. We did our first run together a couple Saturdays ago and then again last Tuesday morning. I have been logging my miles on dailymile.com which has been a really motivating site to turn to.

    We should running together tonight since our yoga class got cancelled. Plus, it is beautiful outside!

    I’m going to the doctor to get another xray a week from yesterday, so maybe I’ll get a green light to start running again. I miss it. I hate begin out of shape. ugh. I just feel gross.



    Going Well-- 2 months ago

    Still going good, alternating between endurance levels of 15 – 20 minutes and 10 minute walks in between, hoping to reach 20 minutes comfortably, (1 hour per day) i need new running shoes, must invest in excellent ones on pay day.

    my mushy heart 2 months ago

    day 2 and i am feeling really good…

    that whole rush of running, having very detailed feelings about your body and very intimately witnessing how your blood is pumped, where it goes, and how you need to be grateful for that…and how your breath really really is a wonderful thing.

    i love the music around me, “Pluto” pushes me like no other song, i use it for my home stretch—-where i run with all my might, just giving my heart that final , very necessary high…right before i slow down to some Olaf Arnalds and kiss this day away…

    my heart is heavy though, i am emotional± and there is something missing, all the endorphins seem to just bring this up even more…what is it? i hope its not love. my damn mushy heart.

    I went running for the first time in months... 2 months ago

    this morning, at 3.30am. I have to be in a very particular mood to do anything at all. And so it was such that the ‘now or never’ mood drove me to go jogging into the dark, unknown and questionable area that I have so recently moved into.
    Another reason for running at 3am is that very few people are around to see me jiggling along the pavement like an overripe tomato!

    It didn’t go too badly, I must say. I expected to topple over clutching my insides after a mere five minutes. I did feel disgustingly wobbly and unfit, but I managed to run for around twenty minutes all in all.

    Hopefully I can fit in some running on Tuesday. I pray that I can stick to some form of routine.
    Must eradicate overly-feminine jigglyness.



    it's all in the breathing-- 2 months ago

    i’m a firm believer in breathing and stretching.
    it’s been an incredibly long time since i’ve ran—-and i’m going for it right now.

    a couple of things need to go as planned before this is successful:
    1- careful and excessive stretching.
    2- timed itunes playlists
    3- switch that internal pacer on.
    4- change for water at the rest stop.
    5- gotta go before the crowd piles up!! NOW!!

    my aim is to pace myself, do a good hour, with a combination of running/jogging/walking/ whats important is to remain in constant motion//

    except while waiting in line for water.

    because i’m not going to be one of those people who jog in line.

    - no judgment - it’s just not my style.

    ugh 2 months ago

    Once my foot is healed, I am going to start running again. I miss running! I can’t sleep as well, and I feel sluggish. Not to mention the 16 lbs I’ve gained, and all the muscle I’ve lost from being crippled for 8 weeks now.
    ::sigh:: I will be uncrippled soon. Hopefully!



    in the beginning... 3 months ago

    I started running again this week. First day, I hit my stride half way through the run. It felt great! My run wasn’t that strong, but I made it and so did my big dog.



    Day One 3 months ago

    I used to run religiously, but I stopped a while back and things went downhill, so to speak. I went out to run this morning and it was wonderful. I feel great and know that it’s the right thing to do, physically and mentally.
