nonstop

I ran four and a half miles this morning without stopping once. This is a first for me (I usually break mentally before I break physically and take a couple one-minute walking breaks - it's been so frustrating!) so I'm stoked!

It wasn't super fast. 

It wasn't super pretty (or pretty at all for that matter). 

But I got it done!



...and just because I'm pretty sure none of you think I'm sane in the least, I'll just go ahead and solidify the insanity by doing this:



:: I'd like to thank Matchbox Twenty for still getting to me after all these years and making my runs much more enjoyable - Rob Thomas, you'll always hold a special place in my heart. ::

:: I'd like to thank Sesame Street for entertaining my five year old while I ran (I know - bad Mommy) - and for having the letter-of-the-day be "J" today because that's his favorite letter lately and it held his attention so I didn't have to for that short amount of time. ::

:: I'd like to thank Fischer (who hasn't been feeling well lately) for taking the freakishly long rest this morning so that I could finish in one stretch. ::

:: Last but not least, I'd like to thank the DirectTV repair guy who (I pray!) will be late for the appointment today so that I have time to shower and nurse my baby before he gets here. ::

    1. I would also like to mention you once told me not so long ago (in the scheme of things) that you didn't think you could ever run very far without stopping, now you've done it AND pretty fast.

    2. Aawww, thank you! I'm shocking myself with a dose of sheer determination. I was mad later that I didn't just finish out the five miles (but Fischer woke up, so I couldn't really anyway) - maybe next time! :)

    1. Way too kind. (And it's all the camera angle - I'm no rookie.) ;)
