I am not sure why there are times when people, who don’t
mean to be, sound down right antagonistic, while others don’t. The week before I did Moab, I was slower than
dirt on the treadmill and I just wasn’t feeling it. I was in the locker room getting changed and
this woman made a comment that I motivated her to keep going. I am sure she didn’t mean it this way, but
all I could hear was I didn’t want to let
the fat chick out do me on the treadmill so I kept going. She went on to
talk about half marathons and blah, blah, blah.
For whatever reason it stuck me wrong.
And I commented back about the fact I have already completed around 10
marathons at which point her jaw dropped! This week, on Wednesday, I wasn’t
feeling it, but I went ahead and was working on my lower body weights and this older
gentlemen who was obviously a weight lifter made a comment about keep up the good
work or something like that. For whatever
reason I appreciated that comment. I don’t
know.
I want to say this week was better than last! The schedule was
pretty much the same, to a degree.

Last weekend my car crapped out again (same thing happened
less than two months ago) so of course it went back to the garage… lucky for me
the garage is less than three miles away so when it was time to pick up my car
(again) I just worked it into my training session! I did half of my run on
Thursday outside and the other half inside!
The bad thing is on my way to school less than two hours later I was
zooming down the interstate and my tire shredded! I was so greatful I got my amazing workout in
otherwise I don’t think I would have been that calm!
Tomorrow is a rest day and I think my body is really looking
forward to it! Next weekend I am hoping to be running a half marathon, but it
is up to my sister to determine if she thinks I can handle it (I will try to
push myself to hard)
