is she even still running?!
i know. you're all probably asking that question right now.. er at least vaguely wondering what the hell since... this is supposed to be the blog of little miss RUNNER pants, right?!
so... to answer...
YES! yes i am.
after having suffered for the past several months from some sharp pain in my knee, i finally did something about it and... IT WORKED!
or.. its working, anyway. and tonight marked my first night back.
exactly one-half hour of running pain free.
good god was i exhausted!! surprisingly, swimming lungs and running lungs just aren't the same thing.
who knew?!
however, the experience was completely joyful. i've been not running for so long that i honestly sort of forgot how much i need it.
and, this all comes in good time because... for those of you also involved in HIM-KS you might notice the race is exactly 6 months and 11 days away.
e-lev-en-days.
so... i sorta freaked today, called my coach and told him he'd BETTER have a plan. and tell me what it is. soon.
cuz this chick needs to train!
therefore... my days of having nothing to write about are nearly thru.
i'm just not sure if that's a good thing or not.
guess we'll find out soon!

Yayyyyyy! Welcome back!

Hi, I'm Raudel's friend from Texas. We met like 2 years ago, but Raudel sent me your blog a long time ago. I read it from time to time, and I've just started training for a half-marathon....my first running experience. I've had tendonitis lately...any advice?

You somehow always manage to find your way back to training. And then do stellar in the race you "could never finish." I hope the knee thing isn't serious.
I'm just getting back to running after my 30 day swim thing.

Shit. 6m11d.
That's not good.
I'm a little on the "oh my god what the hell are we doing" side.
We're trying to meet with our coach this week to iron out a plan. You still banking on bringing up the back of the pack with me?
