My Nemisis

Sunday 2/3/13

Today was a recovery LR, only 8 miles.  In most circumstances 8 miles is not really much problem but today with the temperatures and the wind, it was brutal.  It was like 19 degrees and there was like a 15mph wind at 11:30 this morning when I went out.  This might be the coldest run I've done to this point. Thank God that next Sunday's projected forecast is 40 degrees.  I have my first 18 miler to do next Sunday.  There are 12 weeks until the race.  I started this journey 14 weeks ago.  It seems like a long time to train for something but I really want to do this right.  I want to finish strong.  It sometimes takes me a little convincing to get out there but once I am out there I do enjoy the time that I get to spend with myself and with "the great outdoors."  It's not the fact that I spend 2 or 3 hours just running.  It doesn't even seem like that long most of the time.  It kind of makes for a wasted day though because I really don't feel like doing too much more after a long run like that.  So, my problem has become that I don't get everything done at home like I used to.  The housework is definitely suffering.  I can't really rely on my family for help either since they all seem to think that I am here to serve them.  They are definitely going to be coming up on the short end of that stick.  They will be wondering what happened to their maid.  This mom is not giving up on this goal, no matter how many nights that the family has to eat canned pasta for dinner or how many weeks they have to do their own laundry.  It would be nice to get a little more support from the kids.  You know, a world in which they picked up after themselves and acted proud of what their mom was trying to do. 

This week, it's been a little hard on my body.  Some heavy training this week with Lindsay left me feeling a little beat down.  Not in a bad way but I am thinking that I am going to have to take a a full day of rest before my next LR Sunday.  I am also thinking I will have to watch the reactive foods this week too.  I'm gonna need to get lots of whole foods and lean protein this week.  Maybe get some anti-inflammatory foods in my diet too.  I am feeling a bit leery about the 18 miles coming up.  Another first in this training program. 

Today I went on my run after I taught yoga at Extreme Results and after I stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods for a new hat and neck warmer.  So, I go out to the park and I have to go into the bathroom there to finish gearing up (i.e. putting on my tights under my running pants).  Usually not a big deal, until I get to the bathroom and it is closed for renovations.  Now I gotta walk halfway across the park to the other bathroom.  Okay, not off to a great start and it didn't seem to improve.  My tights kept slipping down, my left sock slipped down into my shoe like 3 times, my under armor shirt was riding up.  Damn, can I catch a break on this run today.  I must have looked a little "special" running down the trail trying to hike up my tights and pull down my shirt.  Totally funny.

On a good note about my run, the animals were totally awesome today.  It snowed a couple of inches yesterday so everything was beautifully snow covered and peaceful.  As I was running the last half of my run today there were 2 deer on the trail.  Fawns.  Beautiful creatures.  They noticed me.  They stopped and watched me but they didn't move away from me.  I came within 2 feet of both of them.  They were stunning.  I so wanted to reach out and touch them but I respected them, kept their gaze and ran by calmly.  It's such a gift to have interactions like that with the animals.  I love that part of this hobby.
