I am thinking I should start a blog but since I haven't I am going to share with you my running adventure. Sunday I rocked a 7.5 mile run at 9 min. miles. Went to derm. yesterday and he punched a mole so I couldn't run yesterday. Met my cancer doc. this am and I am good to go. Woo Hoo. Sooo.... It is 48 degrees and I ate a light lunch at 11:30. 1:00 I head out the door. I attempted to run veteran's and the shit was so freaking muddy I almost ended up on my ass a number of times. By this time I was at the top so I headed through the badger holes and the sage brush to some pavement. I headed up to loop the veladrome and had a "pants my poop" moment... SERIOUSLY a major 1st for me that sent me into a panic. I race to the bathroom there and it is closed due to vandalism. WTF... I am dieing here. I get my "issues" under control and race to the cemetery. The freaking bridge is out on the canal along Horseshoe Bend road and there are tons of people working. At this point I am not sure if I can make it to the bathroom. I finally make it through the cemetery to the bathroom and at this point, due to my meds, I am also about to pee my pants. Whew. Made it. "Issues" were just cramping so after my potty break I finished my run. 9 miles @ 9:45 minute miles. Not bad for such a shitty run. I think if I can handle that I can handle Robie.
So after sending this to my friend I decided that my attempt in blogging may be fun. I don't know how committed I will be but what the heck.
