Random rant #1
Who's rump is that in the mirror?!
I noticed last week, mine is becoming increasingly beefier...
I am a middle gainer. I guess I have now joined the booty gainer club, as well.
Hey, big booties are in right!?
Random rant #2
I don't think I added numbers to my weight train this week, but I am feeling uncomfortable. I am staying away from the scale for a few weeeks. Seeing that large number put me in a funk honestly. I had noticed all my pants are getting tighter, but it didn't really panic me, until I saw THAT number. Denial is so much more pleasant, I will ignore the scale for now, and try to get my behavior in check.
Random rant #3
52 days of no running have come and gone. The doctor gave me the go ahead to try some run/walks in March and see how my feet react.
I was trying to be good and make it until Tuesday, but I caved Saturday (2-27) and ran two miles with run buddy so we could chat.

No wind or rain :) I just had to... |
I still feel some strange aches in my tootsies, mates...
The reality is, my feet are not quite ready yet.
I am not willing to make my issues any worse, so I shut it down at two miles. I smiled as I watched run buddy pulling away from me because it felt so good run, that little bit was delightful while it lasted.
Speaking of my toes, they are getting a very hammered look as they heal....sigh, trust me, not. attractive.
I may have to change my blog name.
Hammer Toe Runner. Thoughts??
Random rant picture #4
Look at the yard from all the rain last week...messy.
I got my hill work done in 20 mph winds. Some days I kick butt and takes names!
I had to clear my path a few times.
Yes, I did put a helmet on...good thing, I got dinged by flying debris twice.
Random thought/rant #6
I should be running my 8th half marathon today.
Just skipping it is really messing with my mind. I know my feet are not ready for that kind of impact, but somehow I still feel like a bit of failure for not even trying.
Would it make me feel better to go try and have to bail out halfway??
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That doesn't make sense either, but I think I would prefer the later...
I did promise the Doctor I wouldn't do that though.
I have missed races I wanted and fully intended to run, due to injury, but this is the first time I was registered (months ago) and can not go.
My first official DNS. Booooo!
Random thought #7
When you think you may have a crappy day, do something special, so it can't be....
How is that for a motivational quote?!
I made plans to meet a friend and we walked a trail this a.m.
We live a little over three hours apart, so we drove to a town that is about half way...

Thoughts about my rants? Fire away, please!
I love to hear your thoughts.
What are your March plans?
Hammer Toe Runner?
Ever been dinged by flying debris?
Start a race and have to bail, or just say no...
I hope you have a wonderful week ♥
