Monthly Mileage Goal:

Thursday, December 15, 2011

It was…

run-under-the-rain-201179

… just a wee bit damp.

I didn’t care – it wasn’t going to stop me this morning.  Believe me, there’s plenty to distract me with the Choir Cantata coming up this Sunday and decorating, wrapping, baking and shopping to finish?

I figured I’d feel a whole lot better if I just got out there – and I do!

It was 53 degrees and by the time I was finished, pouring rain.  But for December 15th – I CAN STILL GET OUTSIDE AND RUN WITHOUT WINTER GEAR?

Oh yeah.

Count me in…

I’ll be honest, I’m scared.  I know there was more mileage in me today – but I’d planned to pick up just another mile since the last run of 2.12 miles the other morning.  I haven’t run over 3 miles since OCTOBER 24th, but I just kept thinking while I was out there – I have to be able to run 13.1 miles!

I know I have time, but I’m trying to wrap my head around it – I think part of my doubt is because I haven’t committed to a training schedule.  I need to have another LIPOMA removed from my calf.  It actually bounces when I run and is painful.  I was originally to have the surgery in early October, but that didn’t work out.

Can I run with it?  Yes.

Should I begin a training schedule and then have to take a break for surgery?? I don’t know.

Can I walk 13.1 miles?

Damned Right.
