A Full Time Job

Okay, running and planning for the next run has started to become a full time job. Seriously. It is starting to be less than fun. It is partially my own fault for being so ADD. I get bored easily, so I am always looking for someplace new to run. Mapmyrun.com is my new best friend. I am CONSTANTLY trying to find the next long run. It is starting to drive me crazy. The weather is going to be beautiful tomorrow and if I don't plan carefully, I will miss that window. i wish I lived somewhere else. I really do. Somewhere with real streets and runs that people have already mapped. But alas, I live in the sticks where, when I tell someone I ran 10 miles on Saturday, the immediate response is "What was chasing you?". Failure. That is what chases me. And I refuse to let it beat me. I ran 5 miles on the tread mill on my birthday, three miles on the treadmill yesterday, and am planning on being a tiny bit late to my birthday party tonight so I can sneak in a little run first. Then I have to find somewhere to run tomorrow, and the time to do it. I can do this, I really can. I just need a good plan. Wow! Listen to me. I am generally so far on the Type B personality spectrum that I am practically a "Type C". So then why, oh why is it that when it comes to my running, I am a "Type A+" ?

On a totally unrelated note, my wonderful husband bought me a new running outfit for my birthday. It is so cute and I can't wait to wear it, but it is a warm weather outfit. I wanted to post a picture of it, but can't find one. It is by Nike and says "Practice MADE Perfect". A Little more conceited than I would have picked for myself, but it is wonderful to know that he thinks that I am perfect. It is what I will be wearing when I cross the finish line of my first half marathon and run to my perfect hubby!!!!
