Above pictures of some racing goal I had in high school for my half mile. I think I beat both of these, but I could never break a damn 2:30 half...so disappointing.~~~~~
Since last Tuesdeee these are the only runs I've done:Last Wednesday: 7.46 miles @ 8:41 average pace
Sunday: 4 muscle tearing miles downhill @ who knows what pace
Monday: 3.92 miles @ 8:48 avg pace
My quads are still torn to PIECES - I can't believe this. I don't know how these trail runners do it. Speaking of which...I met a friend who is into trail running and started a group in the area. I'm on their email list but these people are ridicks. They're going like minimum 15 miles at least twice a week and this includes massive elevation. Imagine your the toughest hike you've gone on...now imagine running it. What is wrong with these people? Of course I am a whore and want to be just like them. First I need to build up my mileage then start doing squats so I don't look like a fool. We'll see if it ever pans out but wouldn't it be cool to be a trail runner? Not to actually do it, but to say that you do it and walk around all muddy, sweaty and hot-looking? I do!
Back to reality, after last night's simple run I went to my gym for a yoga session. It was definitely lacking in the spiritual side, which is totally fine, but I was hoping it'd be more intense physically. It was okay, but I think I'd rather bust my ass in a bikram class and walk out feeling like a raisin.
I was hoping that writing this would make me inspired to go running, but all I want to do is make dinner and watch MSNBC. I suck.
At least I am 1/5 of the way to my weekly running goal and 1/2 of the way to my weekly yoga goal.

I haven't done shit except eat Snickers...is that good?
I miss Aroma cookies too!!!!
What gym are you going to? If it's at 24 - then yes, lame old yoga. I say take on trail running and motivate me to do it too!
I'd love to get in some trail runs. We should totally do a Portland Blogger meet up trail run.
I saw your comment on Maritza's post...I too miss Zachery's!!!!! The BEST pizza EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My hubby went to Berkley so I know quite a few of the Berk/Oak gems.) I *heart* CA.
MM - the only problem with your snickers is that they don't end in DOODLE!!!
Sarah - Yes, 24 hour...it is painful and not in a good way. I think I picked up cauliflower ear last night.
Sarah/Alisa - yes trail runs would be good...Forest Park has the Wildwood Trail that would be fun, at least for a starter trail. We should try to plan a weekend run + brunch fiesta sometime.
Alisa - ZACHARYS!!!!!! I even have the t-shirt. Did you know that they put in a Trader Joe's where the Albertson's used to be? And that Marathon Maritza assisted me in acquiring the letter "e" from Albertson's sign when they were taking it down. (Probably not.)
I am in for the trail run adventure! You plan it - I'm in :)
Yeah, I'm not into "regular" yoga. The intensity/challenge of Bikram is what I love!
