DAY #1...woohoo!

well........first day back after the last marathon......
didn't step foot near the lake or any road...except for the halls of
labor and delivery........but for the first time....i didn't feel so bad!... :-)

for those of you who do not know...i never punctuate, capitalize or make complete thoughts sometimes.....but i DO blog.......and soooo....

The day is beautiful and even tho' i woke up this morning at 5...i could not force me out of the bed to hit the road......so this afternoon after a 1 hr nap and 2pieces of pizza...(which i am sure is not a super food)
i hit the road.....the blue sky..the breeze and of course THE LAKE..welcomed me back with open arms....the music on my ipod played just for me and i went back to the world I have avoided for the last 4 months.........no running shorts today...just an old baggy pair that i have missed........i had thought i would just walk....but when i hit the hill above the lake i could not resist running from light post to light post....the sun reflected off the ripples on the water and the ducks floating near the edge reminds me of the mornings that i so enjoyed ......i am ready to try again to beat myself ...since the race for me has always been just the one i run..........i cannot do what i did those months before the marathon even tho' i am definitely not fast.........the legs are tired after loping on past the lake...so i stop and walk and resolve to walk again tomorrow earlier this time.....in the quiet of the morning...

all in all i was pleasantly surprised....
it felt good to see the outside world again.......
I AM a marathoner....
