Days Fifteen and beyond

I've been slacking on this blog, but NOT slacking on the running. What's happened since, well, I've ran in the rain on a Friday afternoon, I've had the hardest time sticking with it on Mondays and I've done about 13 min. intervals straight. I think it's been about two weeks since I've last written. I've also gotten ridiculously thin. And I also started adding pushups and crunches to my running days. Eventually I'll add yoga since I heard it helps runners and your joints. This week, I haven't ran since Wednesday. And I'm scheduled to do a 14min run. I'll just do as I did Wednesday and have the Pussycat dolls guide me the whole way. I don't really want to become dependent on music, since I know now most marathons don't let you listen to music and, it actually messes up my pace. (RATM makes me like SUPER run...and then I get winded too easy) But since it's helping take my mind off the whole, my lungs feel like they are dying, I'll use it till I get back to where I was.

I talked to Maria's runner friend this weekend. Like Drew's been saying, it's all mental. You have the stamina, you just need to get the mind over the matter. Her longest distance is 20 miles and she's running the New York Marathon this November. She said I should do a bunch of 5Ks and stuff first and work my way up. You have to start somewhere, it's nice being congratulated by another runner. Makes me feel like I can actually do it, I mean she started from the bottom too right...so she knows the road.

I'm going to do a run today. If I have time and then again tomorrow. No breaks because it's been since last Wednesday that I've ran!
