Well the countdown is getting closer to my half marathon which means my miles are getting bigger. This morning was a 10 mile run and to cover that much terriotory I either have to do a couple circles around the town or go and run in the country. Country running has many benefits the one I was excited about was flat pavement! Since being sick I haven't had very much energy so I was excited for that. But if you are to run in the country you need to remember a few things...
1. Speed limits don't apply
2. you are at the mercy of the oncoming cars if they want to be nice and move over to the other lane. or you could always go in the ditch.. Luckily I had really nice people today.
3. People in the country don't have invisible fences for their animals( I only ran into one dog today and he was nice) I did see a sign that said Attack Cow but all I saw behind the fence were sheep.
4. Enjoy the scenery!! It was beautiful out today with all the changing colors it was nice...
On one part of my run I was singing this is the road that never ends eventually it ended but it was loooong
As I was running I was thinking I like being a runner. Sometimes it is horrible and miserable, But today I realized I was actually enjoying my run. ( it was done without my ipod) It might be because this is one of the only times I am not holding, changing a diaper, getting someone something, breaking up fights or my endless chores. I was just Michie not mom, or wife but Just Michie and it was nice... I have to say maybe I will sign up for a marathon. That means longer runs, more time away. Hey even for a tired, burnout Mom running for hours doesn't seem so bad to be just Me....
