I believe that my attitude can make or break me and your attitude can make or break you. I also believe in having goals and dreams that I am willing to work on until the cows come home.
I did my 40 mile run/adventure yesterday and oh what a joy it was to do and COMPLETE! I'm still a little swollen, sore and stiff tonight as I write this but it's all good.
I started at 0530 the weather started out cool and overcast.
I ran thru Parkland, Spanaway, Puyallup and Tacoma- ended on the waterfront and had to work it like a full time job and then some!
Funny thing in June I recruited my husband to be my one and only crew member.....without his consent of course, but low and behold when I started planning the route and times with him it became so confusing on his part that I thought it would be easier for me to do my own thing and to call if I needed something!
Mile 16......Bathroom, ViSalus Pro energy drink, 2 bananas, pretzles
Mile 22......Starbucks, quad espresso over ice, donut, mike and ikes.....stretching.....belly full.....kept it pushing
Mile 28.......diet Dr. Pepper, donut.......feeling a little delirious and questioning my sanity
Mile 30.......bathroom......hmmmm, am I having a midlife crisis already!
Mile 32.......pretzles, red vines......nooooo, no midlife crisis.......feeling like a beast-feet are swollen, back pack is irritating the F@$& out of me
Mile 35.......ViSalus Pro energy drink.......placed call to Ron to meet me on the waterfront!
Mile 40........yes, I'm dooooooonnnnneeeee and about to become undone..........took my shoes off and sat my a%# down. Ron was awesome-he brought me some smoked salmon to eat on the way home.
