Taken from a Facebook Note I wrote just over 3 years ago:

"...this one night- one very small 5k here on campus- was probably the thing that i am most proud of for achieving...
...what's a simple 2-3 miler for some is a lifelong milestone for someone like me, who once really thought she was invincible but learned the truth."

Whoa nelly!

Three very important lessons learned in my wee bit of a run today (15 minute):
1. I really must hydrate more for these runs, even the little ones! My saliva quickly transformed from its normal consistency to that of pooed-upon sawdust in the first 4 minutes. Fun!

2. I should not wait until almost bed time to go run. I start the pace tired to begin with--no bueno for this chica.

3. MUST NOT eat dinner less than an hour before the run. Balsamic Vinaigrette making its way from stomach to mouth is also a no bueno.

Well... day one down. 69 more to go!

  1. At least you are learning the lessons early (and on a short run)!
