Will Run For Ice Cream

I'm in a funk. And I haven't been like this.. well... I don't think ever. When I moved from MS to PA, I got depressed and stopped running. But when I ran in MS, running was very different for me. I met my best friend most mornings out of the week, and we would run/talk. It was great. She was by far the better runner. I cherished our time together, and still do. To this day, I still miss our runs.  When I moved to PA, I lost that. And going from running with your best friend to running solo was a major change for me. So much in fact that I gave up running. I don't remember how long I stopped. I just know that I did ( for awhile ). And I honestly don't even remember how I started back running again. But I did.  And then I met some people at some races, and starting making some running friends. I ran several 5Ks and then moved up to 10Ks, joined a running group, ran my first half marathon (followed by several more) then ran my first Marathon at 40 , and just...

I'm feeling pretty good post marathon. I ran 2 miles today on the TM at the gym. Nothing fancy - haven't been to the gym with Lil Man in close to a month. I wanted to give him a chance to play, and I thought I'd start working out the kinks from the marathon. My tendonitis is flaring up a little. I could feel it, but not bad. I didn't have any major sore spots other than just feeling like I had lead legs. Overall, it was great to be back at the gym. I'm thinking my next race is about 8-9 weeks from now. I'm planning on a Half. You didn't think I was going to stop running after I finished the marathon did you? ;) My bling so far...
