MILES: 3.5 miles

NUTRITION: little food today. Lots of water tho.
WEATHER: Slushy, big fat rain, 43°F and gusty.
This will be a short entry. I know, I know, doubtful I can pull that off, but I'll give it a whirl...
It was HARD to leave a toasty house. It wasn't hard to leave my watch. I wore a rain coat thinking I would probably walk. I wore dollar store gloves. Leggings under loose running pants. Surprised at how comfortable I was. Not too cold. Wet, but not miserable. I didn't walk it, of course. I wanted to run longer, but it was getting dark. I felt great the whole way. I didn't really think about the hills. They are beginning to feel not hard. If I did think about them, I would catch myself later lost in other thoughts, realizing that the hill was long behind me.
New mantra:
I am a runner
Running is effortless
I am a marathoner
I can run forever.
Identifiying myself as a runner is becoming important to me.
Ok, that's it. OH! Except I loved running pass houses all decked out for Christmas! That was fun!

Nanc,
Sorry it has taken so long to get to this (it was hidden at the bottom of my email pile)
Wow! You Rock! And you look stunning! I don't know how you've done all this, but I envy your dedication and will! I am so proud of you! Did I mention how beautiful you look?!?!?! You've always been beautiful, but now...you could be a model! Congrats on all your accomplishments!!! (I never could make it past a mile at a time after running consistently for over a year!!!)
Love you!
