The JOY of a rainy day... and not so much

I love the rain. I love the smell of rain. I love the sound of rain. I love running in the rain. Except maybe, for this morning.

Woke up at 5:30AM and it was pouring outside, and it was really dark as well. SO I waited until 6:30AM and headed out. I had planned on running 12 miles but in the middle of the run I just couldn’t keep moving. I was so drenched… I felt so heavy and I couldn’t see a thing… my eyes burned! So I cut my superstar run short:( and did a 7 mile loop instead. But it’s all good I guess… NOT. I don’t think I will be able to run tomorrow at all! I have such a busy day ahead of me, it’s crazy. BUt it’s good:) I am volunteering at church for a “Family Fun Fest” and that should be fun! I am gonna get so much candy 8) AWESOME!

Well, I hope all of you are doing and having a faboulous weekend! Please don’t do anything silly and take care of your beautiful bodies and minds. Happy Halloween Eve everyone:)

I agree with your coach. At a minimum, If you're running ten miles easily you could ace a half marathon . . .

I wanna do a marathon:)

skip the half-marathon and go big:):):)

panic attack...

so… wanted to have some eggs with toast and when I looked inside my fridge I couldn’t find the tan-looking-yummy-in-my-tummy wheat bread… so I had to settle for w h i t e bread. It made me so nervous… am I weird? ha! I haven’t eaten white bread in foreverrrrrr. I’m even surprised we had some since my parents dislike it as much as I do…

oh well, rant of the day:) hehe
have a good one everyone!

“When I run by myself I have my most intimate thoughts. I look for meaning in some of my important memories, I work through present difficulties, and I try to chart the best course for my future. I also do a lot of dreaming when I run. I can’t tell you how many state championships I won in my mind back in high school, how many NCAA titles I won in my fantasies at the University of Colorado, and how many Olympic medals and major marathons I’ve won in my head in the past few years.” —

Kara Goucher (via theroadtoslimcity)

Sometimes I fantasize while running, especially in races. I will pretend I am running in the Olympics or something, and that the person in front of my is in first, so I have to pass them. Hey, sometimes it helps in races to give you a little boost!

Grrrr!

Had to cut my run short because my stomach was being wayyy too funny:( So I only ran 3.0 miles… now, the thing is that I can run 12 miles and feel no pain, nothing bothering me at all… I run 3 miles and now my knee is bugging me so much! It’s so upsetting, never running short distances ever again… hmmmph:/

Does this happen to anybody else?
*ooh an to those who run in the morning, what are some things you est/drink before your run.. or the night before even (that’s what I do mainly).

This running business...

is turning me into a very happy person!

Today I ran 10 miles, tomorrow I will do 10+ and Sunday I’m aiming for another 10… and the best part? I feel awesome! Now I get why my coach told me I should aim for marathons and not 5ks:) Running short distances is so painful and boring for me… it’s sad. But I do love my long runs and like I said, I am enjoying them so much!

I should really go to sleep now… I am so tired and I need all the energy I can get for tomorrow.

xoxo!

It is 11:30PM on a Saturday...

and I’m at home, watching “Night At The Museum” with my younger sister:)
And I couldn’t be happier! I love hanging out with my sister, she makes my life Period.

Well, since we are watching a movie, I am enjoying a BIG bowl of popcorn:D haha and a glass of cold milk. I still haven’t decided if I wanna run early tomorrow, or later in the afternoon… it is almost midnight and I still need to read and write on my 83940384 journls before I go to bed (yes, I have this big thing about writing). So I see myself falling asleep at like 1:30 ish if I get lucky.

Also, I need to remind myself, that starting Monday I need to do 15 minutes of yoga everyday. AND I am oh so excited for my running:) I can start running more than 10 starting ext week as well… fun fun fun.

Take the trail

Woke up and jumped out of bed and headed out the door. It was 6:30AM and I was wearing long sleeves and short spandex. The rain surprised me, it made my day:) Ran out and out and out… hit the trail and got lost in the beauty of the dark morning.

I’ve found joy in running… long distance running, once again. It renews my spirits, it lifts me up, it gives me hope. Jut like Jurek said, when we apply certain situations of our life to running and vice versa… wow the things you are able to do in both worlds. Lately, I’ve found so much joy and peace and I’ve been praying more and smiling more and just being happier:) And I know that great part is thanks to going out there and leaving my worries and sadness in the trail… buried.

Today my day started out being amazingly blessed, I still have so much more to do! I am so pumped for everything good that is coming my way.

I pray and hope that all of you are feeling the same excitement and joy about life and living and loving as I am! Life is too beautiful to dwell on the things we can’t and shouldn’t do. 

xoxo,
Me.

“Running fast and running far is not about winning. It’s not about money. It’s not even about suffering, or redemption. It’s about discovery. It’s about finding one’s path. It’s about using experience in life to shape something completely different. That’s the art of living.” —Scott Jurek

“I breathe, I sing, I touch, I feel, I cry, I laugh, I smile, I walk, I run, I see, I hear, I write, I inspire, I create, the sun is up, the rain falls, the birds fly… the world is beautiful… and so are you, so smile.” —(via fresias)

Tomorrow...

is finally Wednesday! which means that I get to run! yay:) I can only run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for now… so when I get the chance to do it, I go all out. And as you guys know, Monday was not a good running day because I forgot my hair band:/ and I couldn’t run… GRR. I usually drive to the park after my morning class and run, if I go home instead I would not be able to leave, so I rather just go right after class is over.

I am planning on going for 10 or more, but we’ll see, I am just very excited:) Lately running has become a good way of releasing stress… I have ever used running to release stress before. Also, I use as a time to talk to God:) I pray and reflect on my life. I think that is why I am enjoying running so much lately, because I’ve found a purpose to it… something that is bigger than myself.

Hope you guys are as encouraged and enthusiastic as I feel:) Keep pumping those hearts and trying your best!

xxox,
Fres.

Today I decided that I want to be happy. Really happy. That okay, yes, sad moments come… but as humans, we have the power to really choose our emotions, even when it seems that we cannot. And as a girl, I know that the passion I feel towards the people and things I love the most will get me…

EMPOWERED!

So, after my weekly dose of Gossip Girl I’ve decided that starting tomorrow I will be on my way of becoming a new me.

Period.

I will start posting more stuff in my personal blog as well (thoughts and hopes and all that) and take a turn in my life. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this one, but I seem to always “miss it”… well since tomorrow is Tuesday, that’ll be something new… I am such a control freak, but this time I will start making the difference. I don’t need another Monday to pretend like I will change. I can do it tomorrow, I can start now:)
