9 nee nee ne 19
All your encouraging words motivate me, get me out the door and keep me clocking up the runs. You guys are awesome ....
However, they did squat for me today.
The good news is I got it in, but, it was by far the worst run in Julyathon history. It sucked. I don't know why, maybe it was just one of those days. The first km was okay, but then my stride shortened, my turnover went to almost none existant. If I didn't lean forward I would of been running (I use this term loosely) in place.
Here is my list of probable causes for the diasaster that was 19.
I walked alot yesterday in a really cute, but high pair of heels
I had a massage, and ultra sound on my achilles
Had friends over for dinner and drank a couple glasses of white wine
Didn't get to bed til after midnight
19 was a morning run
I'm really tired
It was my fourth run this week by myself
I hate running alone
Before Julyathon I ran maybe once a month alone
My legs are made of lead
I'm being tested for rebelling against the higher power
B*tch slapped for the ... hell ya!
ARRGGGGHHHH! It's so frustrating. The next run, 20, is bound to be better, it really, really can't be any worse!

My legs feel heavy the day after a massage. The next run will be better.
You are doing awesome!
