not really, but i'm feeling quite dramatic right now.
today i tried out my 4 mile run that jaws & i neglected during our vaca last weekend. it started out fantastically. the route was (relatively) flat, i had been hydrating all day, it was the perfect amount of time between meals that i felt energized but not full...it seemed that the stars had aligned.
then i hit some major hills, nearly got run over by a car, and then got lost!
by the time i realized that i had missed my turn, i was waaaay out of the way and ended up adding an extra 2 mile loop to the run. needless to say that i walked it.
so, i'm feeling discouraged. i thought i was gonna have a great 4 mile run to brag about, but instead i got sore legs and major thirstyness.
if this is how dramatic i feel after 4 miles (or 6), i'm gonna be a MAJOR diva after 13.1
sigh.

i would say no, no they don't.

Haha I love the writing turns on your arm thing. Whenever I tried a new run I wrote turns on paper and carried a small map in the little key pocket in most running shorts.

thanks! are you still running in the icy tundra?
DeleteI read "vaca" at the beginning of the post and became confused because I knew you were talking about our awesome beach trip last weekend, but my brain kept wanting to go into spanish-translation-mode and assume that you were telling a story about a cow. I'm so proud of you, my diva! :)
