This week was the first time since reuniting with my running love that I truly felt like a runner. From having a couple of good runs, to getting my very first toe blister, to buying new running clothes. This week, has been one of best thus far.
I won’t keep you guys waiting anymore, here it goes.
Number of miles ran: 14
Workout thought for Monday: wow, this isn’t half bad.
Workout thought for Tuesday: I pretty much kick a$$. Yes, I realize most people kick a$$ if they are only running 2 miles, but who are you to judge? Isn’t there something in Ms. McGlovers church-house bible about that? If you are lost about aforementioned joke, laugh anyway, then check out the previous post.
Workout thought for Thursday: this workout officially qualifies as a Fartlek….ouch!
Workout thought for Saturday: Treadmill running sucks kangaroo
butt…Part three! But I stuck it out and 5 miles and 52 minutes later, I did it. This was the longest I’ve EVER been on a treadmill. How’d it feel, see first line of this section.
What’s on my I-Phone radio
while running: Ok, this is random but I decided to listen to the Anita Baker Pandora station this week, and what I found is I actually allow myself to relax more on my easy runs when the music is calmer. However, I was dying trying to get through Saturday’s long run on that station. It lasted 2 minutes and I switched back to Ciara with the quickness.
My save-all song:
This week, anything Anita. Though she doesn’t play that often on the Anita Baker station. Go figure!
Low moment: skipping my strength workout yet again, and on a day I was snowed in with nothing else to do. Oh wait, except make homemade Cinnamon buns.
High Moment: I bought non-cotton (stop the snickering) running pants. I feel so official now.
End of the week thought: I can’t choose between “ok snow, stop it already!” and
“Megan McGlover for president!”
Hope all of your runs are going well!

I can’t believe you only just now bought non cotton pants! Girl get yourself to Target and get some cheapo ones for the love of god! Anything is better than cotton!
P.S. Great job hammering out the miles this week! You are def a runner so stop questioning the fact!!!!
Way to go, even with (especially with?) the kangaroo butt-ness of it all! Let it be known that, from now on, any time I have to run four miles up and down my 1/4 mile-long street I will think of how it sucks kangaroo butt.
You’ve put the shame of skipping the strength workout in me–off to do planks and not collapse when I think of how you crack me up. I’m SO glad you’re back to blogging, chica!
+1 Morgan…check out Target’s C9 gear. I have a lot of it. It works well and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
