Getting dirty
On the other side of this bridge is A LOT of dirt.
There is also a lot of great running that I just can't resist. I took one last look at my brand my new WHITE shoes, crossed that bridge and got dirty.
Life is a journey and, for me, running is a huge part of it. Just like a great run, it has easy and tough parts. It is beautiful at times and ugly at others. Hopefully, I will reach the finish feeling good about what I have accomplished and leave a long trail of bread crumbs to show, those that wish to know, where I have been.

Carrot Chase
On Tuesday night, the TNT coaches ran us through a circuit training session. This workout consisted of 10 x 400 meter intervals with a core strength exercise performed during the recovery phase. The first lap was a bit comical. I launched out of there with the gang following behind me. I was soon caught by a gentleman who was completely out of breath. He murmured, "WHAT are you doing?" I was puzzled. "You are going TOO fast," he explained. "You're making us look bad and he is going to kill us." "Oh no," I explained, "I am THE one who finished LAST on Saturday. You ALL are going to pass me soon."
Moments later, I was passed, although only by half a dozen of the folks. I admit, I may have been a bit over zealous. I eased up a bit and I arrived at the recovery spot completely out of breath.
As soon as I arrived, I was rewarded with instructions to hold plank position for some painfully long period of time. Then, even before I was fully upright again, the pack was off and running again.
Wait, I thought, when do we get to recover? *Ah Ha* Maybe that was why the pack was trying to slow me down before.

Late night TV
The episodes of Sex and the City have been stacking up in my DVR cache. It hasn't been easy to carve out time to watch TV, especially without exposing YaYa to all the references to sex.
Last night, when I gave up on fighting my body's refusal to go to sleep, I poured myself a glass of merlot, and sat for a while. By 1:30 am, I had finishing the ten or so episodes, and I could feel a sleepy feeling taking over the night.
Although tonight is a whole new night, I still feel that sleepiness taking hold of me. I will, therefore, have to save my report on the track workout for another time.
