the warm wind took me along

today was the first day of training for the Nike Human Race. i wish i had some picture of the event but i could barely keep my car key sitting pretty in my sports bra without it looking like i had a third nipple, much less carry my cell or camera! ha. i'll see what i can get on thursday if i find a way to put my cellphone somewhere. although now that i remember, i think one of the Nike reps took a picture of me after i turned in my borrow Nike's--they were brand new too!

it was a nice long workout with the good folks from Runtex and thanks to the sprinklers at Fulmore Middle School, I was able to get through my sporadic mile run. also, Nike was there to lend us some Nike shoes to run in and I was super thrilled about that considering I showed up with my Chucks (left my running shoes in SA again). It hurt but I am here and now I know it's time to step it up. I have promised myself to run everyday at least for an hour at any pace I can. I am not trying to push myself or become some bad ass runner, I am just trying to get myself back up and out. I think ultimately I will feel better about myself and my self esteem will surely go up. :)

i'm tired and want some soy milk now so have a pleasant night and check out some Native Korean Rock. I can't wait to see if they make their way to Austin!
