Such a busy lil bee!!

Gracious me its hard to make time for running! Ive been working two jobs the last couple weeks and before that I had strep and before that I was vacationing....SHEESH!!! I've been doing my best to get runs in to train for my half marathon but this race... pretty much going to kick my sweet petunia! I committed to the race though and I'm running it regardless of how prepared I am. My time will suck and my body will ache post race but I'm too excited to wait to race another. Its my first race. It doesn't have to be my best one. Just my first one! Im still focused and committed to running! I want it to be a daily part of my life. Its just a matter of gradually working it into my routine and bumping out the other priorities!

My body has also been seriously adjusting to running. I'm a total rookie and my calves are sore the next day after every run. Even the little three milers. My bones were even sore from a run a few weeks ago. I talked to my friend who has ran for years and he told me runners bones are denser than most people. I need to get more calcium in my diet to strengthen my bones! I can tell every new run that my body is getting stronger, faster, and for fit. Ive learned that three miles is about my warm up distance. After that distance my body is almost on auto pilot and just goes! Every second of it from the easy points to the pushing myself feels amazing!

I also bought a pair of Asics Speed Stars. They are so dang cute! I switch between them and my merrells every few runs. My five mile run in my merrells left me sore and hobbling around for literally a week! They are hard core and serious muscle building! So I wear them on short runs and my asics on the rest. They are both perfect~!

My race is in two and a half weeks! Ill be getting all the training in that I can before. Ill prob do more over the next few weeks than I have over the last few months! Dang you life for happening! I dont have time to get sick!! :)
