running articles: I Thought I Was There!

Hey y’all! Hope you had a good Tuesday! Mine was pretty good. Right now, Bentley Scratchy Pants and I are hanging out watching the The Millionaire Matchmaker.

Guys! Can I just say that I totally thought I was there…like my hip was finally healing and so much better and thought I would run strong. I was going to start with just one mile today. And I did to it, but it wasn’t smooth like it should be and it was a little painful. I kind of paid for it afterwards…I did ice a little afterward. Super frustrating when you want to do something so bad, but your body won’t allow it. I’m going to do some more icing and stretching later. I want to keep positive, but I’ve already signed up for Gasparilla and all I can think about is not being about to run it or if I do, sucking badly. What to do, what to do…

Anyway, let’s talk about happier things…like today’s eats!
