Another Sunday Run

So, I went for my Sunday run this afternoon.  It started out a little rough...as I shared in a previous blog, when I run, I tend to hit my right foot on my left ankle.  Today, I managed to draw blood within the first half a mile from the apartment.  I did a mid-length run today, about 9 miles. Hopefully something similar tomorrow.

But, what I wanted to share is about all the stuff I saw on my run.  So, before I had even left the campus, I saw a small baby squirrel run and try to jump under a parked car.  In the spring and summer, we have all these crazy little lizards that sunbathe in the sun.  Throughout the run I counted 18 small lizards that scamper off when I approach and 4 fat lizards too fat to run away.  I saw a lady bug and a red ant on the sidewalk.  I saw a little bird in a bush.  I also saw an orange t-shirt and a white sock.  Unfortunately, I saw too much trash.  I saw 2 more squirrels.  A women's soccer game.  I saw 4 people riding their bikes, about 10 students walking to and fro.  A couple walking their dogs.  And lots of pretty spring flowers.  I have to saw that the spring flowers really bring beauty to my runs these days.

Hope all is well with everyone else.     

I can't get no motivation

I am writing a new song similar to I can't get no satisfaction, however, it is only about motivation, I try and I try, but I can't get no motivation. Clearly I am in trouble I am using double negatives. Yikes! Does anyone have any tips to help me on my journey to half marathon stardom?

Made it through Lent

Well everyone, I made it 40 days without any fried chicken. I had my moments when I really wanted some because it was quick and easy and it smelled so good in the grocery store around 5:00. But I over-came my temptations! I am releived that it's over and am looking forward to tonight (Brynn is taking me to Double Front...best fried chicken in town!), but I'm going to cut way back on my fried chicken intake. All in all, I have to say, I enjoyed the challenge. 40 days is a lot longer then it sounds.

The saga continues...

So now that I have all this free time, I have decided to try to get long like the rest of the Webster clan, this consists of a lot of yoga. The yoga did not leave me in my zen however because I started to worry about all of our hip flexors and all of our muscles that we are using, are we also loving them and stretching them. I don't think that was the goal of the instructor, but it led me to worry and therefore ask, are you stretching adequately for this thing? Are you really holding the pose? I want to start holding stretches for a minute each, you guys should too (read in a singsong voice).
I love you guys, keep those muscles long and lean like the gap jean.
