The day after...

And boy am I sore!!! But I am loving this feeling!
The run last night with my new found friend, Liz, and the hubby went great!

We walked half the park and we ran half the park. The last time I did that was back in the summer and I didn't do as much I did last night.

The hubby, myself and Liz after our run

During the run, my lungs felt like they were filled with fire. My thighs felt like they were going to give out on me. My feet felt like they just wanted to stop me from going any further. But despite feeling like that, I pushed through those terrible feelings and started talking to myself to pump myself up about finishing. I needed to do this for myself and I needed to finish this run.
We circled the park 3 times and if we would have done the park 3 more times, we would have completed the 3 miles that we will be running on the 1st. But that's okay, I don't want to push myself more than I can handle right now.
It was just great being out and running - which I am praying that I will finally master after so long.

After the run, the hubby and I walked home and I have to say that it was SO cold!! LOL! I didn't feel cold while running but once I was just cooling down, I did feel that cold air around me. I couldn't wait to get home and get some warm food into my stomach and take a warm shower to loosen up my muscles and of course to get warm too!


And here we are today... the 9th day in the month of November. Only 17 days until my 35th birthday. YIKES!! LOL!! And only 22 days until my first race! YIPPEE!! LOL! And I am looking forward to both things.
Life is just getting better and better as the days go by.

Another weekend with no real plans... and I am okay with that. I was hoping to go out every single weekend in November to celebrate but when your birthday is in a month that has a holiday, it makes it really hard to get people to get together to just hang out. That's okay... I don't know why I am making a big deal about my birthday anyway but I can't back out of my plans for everyone to get together on the 24th now. LOL! It's nice when people get together and have fun.


Here's something that I have been wanting to say/ask... how can you claim to be something when you really aren't? Be it a title, something that you've done or claim to have done or just pretend that you are something that you aren't.
I just watch things unfold before me - be in face-to-face or even on Facebook - and I am just amazed on how people like to portray themselves or their relationships. OMG... if things aren't the way that they really are, don't claim to the world that they are. UGH!! I hate when people act this way. Remember, you can only fool yourself about something for so long before you look like a complete idiot - or someone points out the obvious, that you are lying not only to others, but to yourself.

Okay... I'm off my soapbox. ;-) Not that anything is going to happen about this... just people need to realize that they can't claim something that isn't real or isn't really there.

Well, it's been a long day already and I should get back to what I was doing earlier... so, hasta la proxima! Happy Friday!
