GottaHurryTooMuchToDoAhhhhh!

Quick update:

I couldn't run yesterday on my regularly-scheduled day due to this awesome district finance meeting that pretty much spelled out what I already knew in a two hour format: there's no money. Wonderful way to spend an evening! Good thing about it, though, was my constant want to get out of there and run--and not even from the meeting, just to run! That's a new feeling!

I ran today at the park and tried to stay off the pavement for about 90% of it so I can get used to running on a trail. I can't remember if I mentioned this, but Michael, Alicia, her husband, and I are going to run a fun run 5k on January 30th in Conroe. I'll be sure to post pictures! But it's a trail run, so I definitely need to get the feeling for it.

Today's run didn't quite go as smoothly as I had planned. I have been running about an 18 min 2-mile, but today I slipped back into that 10 minute pace. Yes, I know, I said I didn't care about what my pace was as long as I finished, but y'all know me... I get more competitive with myself than with anyone else. I hadn't eaten hardly anything today (don't know what was up with that) and I started feeling some pains above my right leg (what's new?) but for some reason today, I was really feeling the repercussions of both. But-- I did end up with a little over two miles. All in all, I guess that's considered a pretty good day!

Gotta run to yet another meeting. It's a good thing my cheerleading stipend is sooo huge or else I might actually not look forward to these meetings! [implied sarcasm :)]

Peace out, homefries.
