I'M BACK BABY!!

Okay not really. I mean I did run twice this week after laying off for almost three weeks to rest the shin splints. (Note to potential runners/joggers/speedwalkers; they don't heal or really go away, just feel better for a while and then are right back). So, I missed being on the road, wind in my face (okay I am lying... I HATE the wind, especially when you are running into it and this last week it was like, what, a thousand miles an hour?) but I digress. I like to run because for that amount of time my mind is blank (no easy shots here dear reader!) I don't worry, wonder, or think about anything, unless of course it is keeping my pace, staying up with my niece, who by the way has become a SPEED DEMON the three weeks I have been off, or simply breathing. So, I am back. Ran easy on Thursday, and a little more distance and speed on Friday. Felt good to be back. I have A LOT of running to do in order to get ready for the Texas State 5 mile Run in the Sun in May. So, I am having banana pudding for supper. I know that is good for you because after every run they bring out the bananas by the truckload. So, there it is...........I am BACK!!! (and my leg hurts even as we speak)
