11.15 mile run today!
Feb 16, 2010
Today the clouds opened up and the sun shone for the first time in what feels like FOREVER!I ran a delicious 11.15 miles this morning at an easy 9 minute/mile pace, stopping for a few minutes at the neighborhood Starbuck's for free water at the 5-mile mark. It was so warm that I ended up running in my sports bra, and the cool breeze felt wonderful! I am making do with a 2GB mp3 player while my Zune is being repaired, so I really miss my running playlists, but I've reconciled myself to listening to tunes in alphabetical order for now. It won't be long before I get my player back--they sent me a notification that it will be shipped soon. Then I can rock out to my "Upbeat Running," "Flower Power Beat" and "Sexy Icon" playlists with abandon!
What I really want to do is go out dancing! For the first time in a LONG time, I feel really attractive and ready to go out and mix it up with some girlfriends! I've been listening to more up-tempo stuff while working at my computer, too, and sometimes even find myself jumping up and spontaneously dancing just to move my body to the beat. Silly, I know, but FUN! When I was heavy, I never had the energy to even WANT to move.
I am size Small in everything, and have three pairs of jeans in size 2 that fit me well. Some designers have thighs that are too narrow to accomodate my muscle mass, so I have to bump up to a size 4 in their line, but if you had told me 5 years ago that I would be anything less than a size 26, I would have said you were smoking crack! I am still rocking the daily diet journal and of course, running, so my health is great and I am grateful!
My latest non-scale victory: I did 20 REAL, non-girly push-ups in a row! Hurray!
