Best Run EVER

I was so happy to get up and run this morning I didn’t even care that it was 6am and pitch black outside. After icing my feet and rolling them with this little ball most of the day yesterday, everything was miraculously feeling better. I was so excited I couldn’t fall asleep last night. I know. That’s seriously dorky, but I was starting to get really worried. I was starting to think maybe something was really wrong and I was going to have to cancel the whole thing, which would suck SO MUCH. But no. I got up this morning, I went for a run, and I survived. It was kind of a slow ungraceful run, and I wasn’t totally without pain, but I figure I’m training for a marathon. Things are going to hurt. The good news is before the pain was at about an 8, now it was down to a 3. I can live with a 3. I was so happy with my run that I didn’t even care that I looked like a total dork.

Hot, huh? And I'm not actually a Redskins fan. That was just the only hat I could find.

I guess that I should always suspect my feet when something hurts as the source of the hurt. I have wonky feet. The same thing happened before the last marathon. But I know how to deal with feet, so now I’m officially getting excited. Then I got some bad news. They don’t seem to make my Strawberry Honey Stingers any more. If you’re a runner, you know how bad this is. I’m used to those. I can’t switch it up now! I bought a super jumbo variety pack because there should be a few packets of the strawberry flavor in there. So if anyone wants more honey stingers, I’m your girl. I just literally bought 50 of them.

Next up on the pre marathon prepping list (17 days and counting!) is to watch Spirit of the Marathon. Seriously. It gets me pumped and makes me cry every time. Who wants to come over and watch it with me?
