running

I used to love to run.  I think I still do, but I'm so out of shape that it's painful.  I'm still trying my hardest to get back into it.  I decided not to play co-rec softball this summer, so that I could sign up for some races.  Last weekend, I ran the 5k Race to Wrigley and yesterday I did the mini.  The Race to Wrigley was short and fun. The mini was long, cold, and rainy.  I was soaked and frozen when I finished.  I wanted to crawl back to my car.  I dropped a pin on my maps to make sure that I could find my car after the race.  Guess who couldn't find their car after the race??   I walked around for another hour in the rain.  I wanted to cry, but I didn't have the energy. 

 I got a massage today.  It was kinda painful.  I had a lot of sore spots and this guy was bound and determined to get all of my knots out. He said, "tell me if it hurts."  I told him, but he just kept on going.  I'm hoping to be able to walk tomorrow. 

Maybe I'll do the Run with the Foxes next.  I've down that trail run a few times.  I have lots of good memories there. Trail runs are fun.  This might help.
