owwwie

So I didn't feel much like running lastnight, I was really sore from doing squats with tracy but I went anyways cause I just really am stupid I guess. At one point I had to walk an entire mile to get the pain to ease up. I didn't count my laps but I think I may have done an extra once I loosened up it was beautiful not humid almost chilly. For a small time I felt really good. When I came home, my beef heel is was bloody-awesome.
Now this morning, oh my god, I must have lactic acid buildup in my thighs. It hurts really bad to sit and to return to a stand. I have to hold the walls to get on the toilet and by the time I get sitting I can't pee because I tense up. I need a major break. No nothing tonight, no strength training, no running, just trying to survive my boys today.
Stupid is as Stupid does

doofus

Um okay went to the store to try to help blisters. Bought a "blister treatment" type bandage. Did NOT read directions. Ran with it on, took it off afterwards. Ripped off my whole blister, its raw meat now. A couple days later, read the directions, its not meant to be taken off til it falls of or is soaked off. What a dillhole..... Tonight I run with hamburger friction in my right heel-awesome...

UH! Thats what!

Last night my latest experiment, I tried a gatorade prime before a run, lord its nasty tasting. BUT worth it! I ran 4 miles with out stopping on a treadmil at the gym. It was actually fun, I was just thinking to myself, wow look at me go. Definately good for the whole pysche thing.
The blister, its angry the entire back of my heel is gone and open. It doesn't hurt right now cause its bandaged with no shoes on but I have a date with my trainer tonight. yippie skippie. I think I am going to wear the nonmagic shoes and just bike it after trainer time, i gotta do 4 again tomorrow!
I really really recomend sweatybands headbands, its nasty how much they hold. Just wish I didn't look like minnie mouse.

Blister in the sun

No this isn't an entry about a Violent Femmes song, I just couldn't figure out a better title with BLISTER in it.
Yoi. My right heel has got a biggie on it. I am running every other day to try to heal the rawness but its getting bigger every time I run. Its not the magic shoes fault. If I just run in the right socks and not walk, its fine, its when I walk I feel the issue. Hopefully my heel with scar up soon, so I don't have to worry about it. haha. yeah right. Other than Blista Blista running is going pretty damn smooth right now, just about to 4 miles a time. Also learning how to listen to my body, after a day on my feet, running in hot humidity, I need to make sure I eat enough. I was really feel depleted yesterday. I still had fun though, infact when i was leaving I saw a turtle crossing the track (silver dollar size) it was dark kinda looked like a rock on the black top, I saved its life with my sunglasses by catapulting it into the grass. I heard those things can give you salmonella I wasn't touching it. Of course the only other person for miles saw me being a dork and gave me a raised eyebrow. That turtle loves me dude I don't care what you think... ha.

who is this girl

I know I said I only can run in the gym.... well now I really don't want to go run indoors if its nice. I feel really different in my new magic shoes and I really enjoy the sunshine and um bugs flying in my face.
Tuesday night after my awesome run, I got in my truck wiped several times with my purple smelly towel drank the rest of my water, and drove home. I stopped my truck in the driveway, I turned it off and looked down to take off my seatbelt, there was a fricken slug on my shirt dead center in between my boobs! Naturally I screamed, freaked, almost forgot to put on the brake ran in the house, holding my shirt away from myself to find ryan. Ryan of course thinks this is hilarious and takes it off of me and then procedes to taunt me with it....Not much a nature girl here.
I don't know what happened but I am just enjoying running on the track, ok maybe I do know what it is.... Last year I started out at that trail walking and like I said before I could barely get around once just walking now I am slow but I am running. Poof. Instant motivation, right now its working. Maybe its a good thing to take some time out of the gym breath different air, stop staring at the "gun show" boys and just fly(figuratively speaking).
Hope its not raining tonight or I will be forced to hit the gym. It probably will since I am saying how much I am enjoying the change....

New shoes!

So after fearing my running was going to kill me I started asking questions. Thanks to my sister in law and my new running book by Dagny Scott Barous(spelled prob wrong) I went to the nearest running store to get fitted from new shoes.
Turns out I was running in really old worn out shoes that never fit in the first place. I felt really large in that store, everything is for serious runners. The staff a young man in college, also a serious runner, was super nice and evaluated my stride. I overpronate. duh, thus shinsplints. So i brought home my lovely shoes and friday morning took my first run in them-magic! No pain! turns out shoes are everything in this sport and um I thought for some reasons the ones I had were fine. So glad i asked before i really hurt myself.
Last night my run was 3.75 miles! In 90 degree heat. Watch out 10k I'm coming for you.

Turns out New shoes of any type will cheer up a woman.....

Just walk it off....

Oh boy there we go. tonight, I ran crappy outdoors again. Stupid girl....I should know by now that I can only handle non-treadmil runs once a week at most by now with my chubby butt. My shins HURT. I couldn't even finish my last mile, I had to limp a shortcut at the track to my truck. I had ryan meet me on the porch and cover my legs in ice.
Ryan really is good about all this exercise stuff. He doesn't do as much as me but he is always making sure I get to go and do. And he's always there to patch me up, or bring me water and an aleve. I feel really bad sometimes about that. He's so good about all that, I have to remember to be nicer.
I did order a book on running, its by a dude but its for women runners about everything. Its even got a chapter how to be injury free. I'll be reading that in all my spare moments you better believe it.
As far as a race, I have no clue at this point. I think I am going to have to hit the eliptical this week or 2 until i feel better, its not as fun as running to me, but I still have 50 bigones to loose. Still formulating a plan for my next race, at this point i think it would be a good way to celebrate the next 20lbs. i dunno
Mentally I am really feeling drained, kindof like when my kid is frustrated when his toys die because they need batterys. He just wants to keep playing and he doesn't care about the solution, just that fun is over for now.
trying to stay positive, looking up treatment tips for shin splints tonight....
