Just saw a commercial for Disney Parks....how fitting while I'm collecting my thoughts getting ready to blog about my path toward running in a race in a Disney park. They say "Let the memories begin, at the place where dreams come true." They could not be more right! It is the place that I KNOW I can go and feel like there is nothing else in the world...and nothing could go wrong there. It doesn't matter what the weather, the day, or the crowd...I ALWAYS AM HAPPY THERE. My dreams do come true there, I make so many memories there! With that being said, there is no other place I would rather be, and no other reason I would train for over 200 days to run there.
I have been having quite a hard time getting into a routine (besides my Wednesday nights at the gym). I went tonight, however, only ran, did not do my class. I wanted to test out and see if it was the class making my hip hurt or if it was my running. As I lay in my bed, typing away, I am finding myself in the same pain I usually am in after the gym. Could it be?? My hip pain is from my running? Might be time for me to get back into my yoga for runners.
Time for me to get back into a lot of things. Seems to be the story of my life. I just need to find my groove. It will happen, I am confident.
On to my run, I had a miserable day at work, so I wanted to focus that frustration on my running. And boy did I! I set the treadmill for 40 minutes, with a 5 minute cool down. I covered the workout summary with my towel as to not see how far or long I was running. My music was good and loud, so my pace was set nicely. I ran for a total of 45 minutes, at a distance of 3.45 miles. Slower than I thought I was running...but at least I went some more distance than I have been. Gotta crank it up gradually with the way my hip feels.
I suppose I should probably get myself to bed here soon. But before I go...I have one little announcement....drum roll please........................I passed my AFAA Group Fitness Certification! I was very nervous that I didn't pass the exam, but I did! It is very exciting news because it has now opened a new opportunity for my future. Not sure what it will provide, but I'm sure it will be a bright new change in my life!!
Hopefully the next time I write, I will be THAT much closer to my next trip to Walt Disney World. As of today, Mike and I's next trip to WDW is in exactly 21 days away!! And the race is exactly..........134 days, 00 hours, 51 minutes, 40 seconds......and counting...........
