Running Update

You are all too kind with your sweet comments on us girls all dressed up.  I suppose it is a BIG change though from the pictures I post of me from races, haha.  I also got a few questions about where I got the dress.  I actually stole it for the evening from my sister.  She wore it in a friend's wedding back in November, and they ordered it from David's Bridal.  It's totally the kind of bridesmaid dress that you actually can wear again!  I don't think it looks especially bridesmaidish at all.  And yes, I just made up a word.

So you know you're a runner when you have to give a urine sample at the doctor's office and you feel really proud when the nurse tells you it's the clearest urine she's seen lately.  (Yep, I went there.  I'm talking about my urine.)  Don't tell me you fellow runners don't all keep an eye on things each time you go to the restroom.  I find it's hard to keep ahead sometimes on the hydration, so I'm always pleased with myself when I know I'm doing a good job.

Granted, I'm still not running a ton.  I'm managing to get a good sweat going most days of the week since I'm using the Shred DVD pretty regularly.  I still only got 2 runs in last week even though I was aiming to bump it up to three.  I'm trying again this week and started today with a 25 minute run in which I covered 2.5 miles.  I was pretty pleased.  It's getting a little easier each time I run.  I've got 10-12 more scheduled runs on the post-injury plan I'm following, so before I know it I should be ready to start gradually building mileage instead of running by time.

I still owe you more pictures of the rest of the work I did on my race scrapbook.  I'll get those up on here soon!
