Day 4 of training

I'm posting from afar, so no pictures.

I took yesterday off because I was packing and dealing with kids, then traveling. BUT this morning I was able to run with Dad. (Who gets to run with me in the race.) It was raining so I thought that I was off the hook. (amatuer...I know) So when I saw dad this morning, he told me, "when you want to run?" I answered, "It's raining." Didn't stop him so we got dressed to go. I grabbed a hat and sweater, wishing I had pants to wear instead of my cute running skirt.

Turned out pretty nice with the rain. Felt good. What was even more cool was running with dad. It solidified what I already knew....he's totally going to whip right past me and finish with an unbelievable time. I'm excited for that.

Legs still hurt and even the tops of my feet. Weird!

Thoughts:
* "Dad...just keep going, I'll catch up."
* Thanks for letting me walk a little bit...ok A LOT!
* Wow...I did 1 1/2 miles today.
* I like energy bars. YUMMY!
* I don't know if this is a new "way of life" that I will want to continue. I really hope that changes because I WANT to like it. I'm too frustrated with my body right now to think anything, long term.
