The Running
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Mom on the Run tagged me for a running meme. I am hosting my Dad and Grandma here in beautiful Nova Scotia, so without further ado, a little about me and running.
1. How would you describe your running 10 years ago?
Non-existent. Up until six weeks ago, I felt that unless my life was in peril, running was a crazy notion. I never understood why people liked to run. I would ask runners and they would shrug and say it feels great. WHAT!?! I didn’t get it.
2. What is your best and worst run/race experience?
er well I am really just getting started. I did however sprint once. For a brief moment in time I was flying. It felt great. Sadly I have yet to be able to do it again. The stars were aligned perfectly in that moment.
3. Why do you run?
It started off, I was walking. I was determined to walk every night for an hour. I needed to get into shape. I was unhappy with my body and wanted to change it. I wanted to be in control, rather than feeling helpless. After a few weeks of walking, it just felt natural to start running. My husband is still in shock that I go for a run.
4. What is the best or worst piece of advice you’ve been given about running?
hmm I have yet to talk to a lot of runners, now that I am a runner. I am a little shy about it since I just started and feel like I am not quite a runner. I am trying to change that mentality and just believe it. I am a RUNNER. I am. Really. Almost. Kinda?
I changed my routine last night. It was raining. My company was waiting at home. It was shorter and less challenging, and I rocked! It was great! I think I will spice things up a little
5. Tell us something surprising about yourself that not many people would know.
geez I have been blogging for so long I think everyone knows me
Instead enjoy some photos from yesterday







Four Places I Have Lived
I have been tagged and tagged and tagged … here is my crazy attempt to catch up …
Ok Next Up
Lastly, forever ago
As I mentioned yesterday,
Why is time standing still, yet still disappearing before me? It is the weirdest sensation. Seriously. I can hardly wait to hear if J got the job in Halifax. It could be weeks before we know anything. ugh. Yet I am trying to get some things done and time is GONE. GONE. ugh.
I miss Charisma so much. Yet there is this eerie calm in our house. I had no idea how stressed out we all were while he was ill. Even Skippyjon has calmed down and has settled into being an only cat quite well. We talk openly about Charisma and how much we miss him, the things we loved about him and the things that annoyed us. I hope we are doing good by Becca.
