1) If you'd told me as a kid that I would be spending my summer vacation getting up at 5:45am to run, I would have told you to stop smoking crack. I'm just sayin'. (of course, today I slept in). And, probably TMI, but I'm having some GI issues running this week. I don't know if it's just getting home from our trip, or knowing the kids are in another state, or what. But it's interfering with my milage. I might just go ahead and take a rest day tomorrow, do some biking, or light swimming, to see if it helps. I don't know what else to do.
2) My kids are at the beach, and I am here. This is like a 4 day date. Every thing we do feels like a date. "Want to eat lunch?" OK, it's a date! "Want to watch Deadliest Catch?" OK, it's a date! Fun stuff.
3) I'm the kind of person who can comfortably wear a bikini to the beach, even though I know it doesn't cover any more or any less skin than a bra & skirt running outfit, but cannot wear said bra & skirt running without feeling "nekkid". It's 85 degrees. It's 50% humidity. It's 10:27 AM. For today's run, I am standing in my kitchen half dressed and FORCING myself out the door. My training plan says 3 miles or hills. I suppose I should decide before I start the run which I'm going to do, huh?

OK. Hills and 3 miles it is.
the proof.

hott mama!!! yeah and about GI thing...i tend to get some stomach issues during runs. Not cool. little worried about this with our virtual half!
Haha I feel the same about No. 1 & 3. I would have never guessed I'd become a runner. And I also sport the bikini all the time, yet would never run in a sports bra. I see people do it at the gym and it amazes me!
You look great woman! :) Hope the GI issues clear up quickly.
LOL...you know as far as running is concerned, "Poops-a-lot" is like my middle name. I can tell you where a bathroom or potty spot is on just about any route in the Richmond Metro area. Trust me, I know it's tough, but be happy it's not a permanent thing for you.
As far as #3, I hear ya. I fight with myself - I am over 40 and don't need to bare my midriff; do I have "done-lap" syndrome...ugh, but I love how it feels!
First time for everything...good for you for taking a chance!!!
Are you hydrating enough in the heat? Hope the GI issues vanish!
