This morning was very cold...27 degrees that is...Gordon and I decided to go on a run down at the Piedmont Trail.  I have been running a little bit on the treadmill and once in the morning in our neighborhood trying to slowly get back to running after my injuries.  Well, I have always out ran Gordon...I loved the feeling, honestly!  I ran faster and further than him :).  Today, it was the complete opposite.  I feel like I lost my "mojo".  How fast your endurance is gone once you stop running.  It has been four weeks and I feel like I am starting from phase 1 again.  I do not want phase 1;  I hated phase 1 and I complained about it and it hurt and i never thought I would outgrow that phase.  My legs felt heavy, I had a side ache that would not go away, and Gordon ran faster than me and I could not keep up.....DARN HIM!  Gordon doesn't know, but secretly I wanted to cry on the trail.  OK...I shed a couple tears...  BUT, you know me...I am a fighter and stubborn, so I will come back again running the trails and hating it until I outgrow phase 1 again.  I am a lot smarter this time around with extra stretching and not pushing it.  I also know I need to whack 15 pounds off of me to prevent more injuries to my knees and hips.  Anyone offering FREE liposuction?  Well...sob story, I know...but I needed to add another blog to our site that I created and have not maintained very well.
