I Haven't run in THREE DAYS!

AK!!!!! I am sorta a little freaking out! Saturday was the last time i ran.
On Saturday, I ran my LAST SCHEDULED 1/2 marathon for the summer! eeks! (more about that in another post) Ü
BUT... I haven't run Since! That is three days@! What is the matter with me? On January 8th of 2008, Jen (my beautiful sister) and I teamed up and joined "The Biggest Looser" couples. We created our own page, and cheered each other on with the personal goals that we had set for eachother. I started to run. Actually... to be fair, i didn't start out running... rather more like a 'gasping for air-someone just kill me now-one foot in front of the other' walking. It was a faster pace of 'walking' then i would have normally used... so maybe i considered that running. At any rate... I kept at it! Now, since that date, not one single time have I not run for more then two days at a time. Sundays of course i always took off as a rest day, and then sometimes threw in a Monday to go along with the Sunday... but not more than that. Never more than two days!

Since the days of 'gasping for air-someone just kill me now-one foot in front of the other' walking.... I have run many miles. I have also run 8 races this summer, 4 of them being 1/2 marathons & one being the Wasatch Back Relay race! (even just typing this out... I am just shaking my head in disbelief) wow! ME? & Also, almost FIFTY pounds later! Crazy! There were also two other races that i would have very much liked to participate in, this one & this one but will just have to add them to the list for next year!!

I have run almost every single day this year since January 8th & now... all of a sudden... I haven't run in three days. I think something in my mind clicked off after i ran the race on Saturday. Being that the Spanish Fork 1/2 was the last scheduled race that i have. Something clicked & that feels like something has come to an end... I don't want it to feel like an end. I think that i need to find me another race to register for... and keep on going. I dont want it to stop!!!

but i sure have enjoyed sleeping in! Ü

Anyone know of some fun races that i can schedule over the next several months? Ü

Um. Well. I say that you deserve a short break. You'll get the urge again. And, if you don't, then just make yourself. But don't beat yourself up over it. :)
