Am I crazy? No - I'm MAD!!

I wasn't able to get out last night and go for that 7.2 mile jog that I was going to do in 1 hour 50 minutes.  Family comes first and last night was one of those nights that I just needed to be a mom and not go for my run.  I will for sure be going out tonight for that 7.2 mile jog.  little nervous - my left foot is killing me today.  I put my shoes on this morning to head out for my p90x workout and my foot was screaming at me.  You would think that after over a year of the darn foot killing me I would learn to tollerate the pain but man it hurts!!!

So in just a few days I will be running a 5k in the shelley spud run. Spud day is a big thing in our family.  My husband is from Shelley and his dad is the mayor there so we are proud of our Spud day every year!! This is the first year we are doing the run.  We originally were going to do the 10k but we have a few family members we wanted to include and thought that the 5k would be the better choice.  My husband Mikel will be running along side me on Saturday.  I am SOOO EXCITED for the 2 of us to do this together!!  Mikel used to run all the time and he is quick!! I hope I can keep up with him!! It is great to have a great partner!

Speaking of partners - I need to thank my wonderful friend Darla for being my partner every monday, wednesday, and friday!! Darla and I get up at meet at the church at 6am 3 days a week and bust our bums doing the p90x workouts with Tony Horton.  These workouts are tough but I sure enjoy working out with Darla!! 

Lezhai is another one of my great partners!! Thank you Lezhai for being there for me!! i love running with Lezhai and let me tell you why!  She runs at my pace (which is slow....remember I told you I run as fast as a TURTLE) and is always encouraging me.  When I am ready to give up she doesn't say "oh come on"  she says "you can do this, I know you can, you are amazing and you are doing so awesome!!"  I try to quit to early and give up and she doesn't let me.  Thank you Lezhai!!

I am excited to get things rolling and figure out a training schedual for the upcoming marathon I WILL be running next May.  Am I crazy?  NO - I'm M.A.D.!! 

Ta Ta for Now!!
