Who knew

I had it in me to run 2 miles w/o stopping? I haven't been on the treadmill since August or September when I was running next to Sheena and Becky, but I set out to do my required 30 minutes of running/walking on Friday and I ended up running the entire time. And I've been paying for it ever since. Yesterday was rough but today was even worse. My quads are screaming and I guess I have muscles right next to my knees cause they hurt too. My knees don't hurt. Just the muscles. So I got out an old tube of aspercreme and it didn't do much. But no pain, no gain right?

When I'm sore like today, I like to remind myself about my reasons for running. Don, my father-in-law is fighting myltiple myeloma. He had chemo on Friday and Jo Ann, my mother-in-law, said he's not feeling well. I can't even begin to imagine what he's going through. It's moments like this that I pray for his health and to thank the Lord that I'm healthy enough to run and have sore muscles. I'm also thankful Kevin has his health and can run with me.

Yesterday was a rest day. So that means running/walking today. When my babies go to bed I'll get my phone out and listen to some running tunes and try to walk more than run this time. Gotta take it easy cause I run again tomorrow and the next day. Don't wanna over do it you know!
