Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

Yesterday I ran 6 miles.....super nice out about 45. Interesting to notice the difference in the performace of my body in the warmth vs the cold weather...Huge difference in my endurance and breathing

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

You're killin' it, GG! Way to go! I'm anxious to get back to running myself... maybe in a few days! Ahhh!Gymgurl said:
7.5 miles is GREAT and I love the quotes you posted about running. They're so true.
I still can't believe how easy my 10K felt and I didn't stop once... and knowing that my half marathon is way longer.... I don't know how I'll pull through but somehow I know I can do it. It's so mental, for sure. 
Keep pushing!

Well I survived the Er last night....still a little "hivey" this am...Went to the Dr. last night for a fungual infection on my leg...btw 4 dr.'s later they are not sure if it is fungual or a bite. anyway..they gave me cream for that and I ended up having a UTI which I was getting yesterday morning so I had them check for that...They gave me cipro since I am allergic to Sulfa and Macrodantin....I took it in the car on the way home from the pharmacy and within 10 min my whole mouth was swollen and had hives....I get home and I have hives all over and I was starting to have a hard time breathing since I am asthamtic I know better.....went to er and was pumped full of steriods and antihistimines......so...no running for today. the Steriods kill my joints...so tomorrow I am going to either run or do the elpiptical depending on my knees...Im hoping I can run

Your shopping will be your workout LOL. I hope everything works out with the doctor. We have two days here and then one at my mom's on boxing day. My poor step son has to go there, here, there, here for three days
but I suppose the great deal is all the gifts he gets LOL
