Finally!!! I think I am back to running. Praise the Lord and a big fat Hallelujah. I didn't think I would ever get here. Ran last weekend. Not very far but I ran. Then I ran on Thursday. I think it ended up being maybe a mile and a half. Then today it was supposed to be raining but I woke up to gorgeous blue skies so I laced up and headed out. I warmed up a little bit and then ran half a mile with a .1 mile walk. I lasted 45 minutes with probably a good 3 miles of actual running. Oh yeah and totally sucking wind. Holy moly I am so out of shape. Brutal, to go from running a marathon, feeling great to 4 months of sad little cardio workouts and now all my conditioning has to start all over. Booo. But YAAAAY I am running!!!! That is really all that matters. The endurance will come back, I know that. SO, yaaay. Wait let me say it again...YYYAAAAAAAYYY!!! I am back. Look forward to more silly running blogs to come. Cause let me tell you my brain does funny things out there on that trail.
This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories. Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs! This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was. :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave! That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out. ...
