Torture-fest 2010-2011

I did my first run today -- a short one -- just over two miles but it's what's prescribed in the 9-week training program for a half marathon. My main goal today was to see if anything hurt and to test out where I am physically. I actually felt good -- not aches or pains -- but I definitely need more fuel. Still need to eat lunch and that might've helped some.

My only obstacle on my short jog was a black snake that was tightly zig-zagged on the trail -- he was a little guy so I ran around him and he had moved on my way back. I'm fine with black snakes because I know there are copperheads around here and there not as friendly.

I signed up for the Celtic Solstice with Sarah -- the more the merrier. It could be 20 degrees or 80 degrees. Either way it looks like a blast.

I have an idea for a T-shirt -- it would say "This IS my happy face" and it would have one of those emoticons gritting its teeth because we LOVE pain. haha I might have to do it.

So one run down. I'm still alive and am happy for any company on my torture-fest ... I guess Emily is way ahead of me though.
