Ever since I got back from my conference in Seattle I've been sick! Has anyone run a race on antibiotics???

The entertainment of the race was awesome and the feeling of running with 10924 finishers was fantastic. The race was so well run!

Cons were that I had to be on a shuttle at 4am to get to the race which had standing room only. Standing from 4am to the race start at 6am and then running a half was an event in itself - especially since it was freezing out!

After the race I showered and hopped on another shuttle to Port Canaveral to go on a cruise! I saw a few runners on the boat that had the same vacation idea :-D

Three miles on the cruise treadmill :-D

 I wasn't super motivated to run this week. I was "resting" from the 1/2 marathon.

55 degrees today! It's warmer than it was in Florida some of the days. My legs are either still tired from the half marathon or stiff from not running for the week.

I don't quite feel like my normal running self yet. 

 It rained the whole run making the sidewalks are getting quite puddly. On my run I passed a playground by a river that was almost completely underwater - free water slide!

Ran half a mile and then took a face dive on a very busy intersection. No one blinked or said anything. Ran the half mile back, falling AGAIN. I'm now missing a silver dollar sized pieces of skin on both sides of my hand and one knee and I have a bruise developing down the length of my thigh. It's shower time...getting blood on the computer.

I actually think it's quite funny...

Such a beautiful sunny day! I tied my shoe laces 4 times, I was actually pretty nervous about going out :-x

I got out of a meeting super late and starving. I tried to go out for my run but wasn't feeling it (bad excuse, I know). I got ice cream instead :-D

The plan was to run at 9AM with a local running group. Their workout was 5x1 mile and I really wanted to get some speed work in. It was snowing outside and I hate feeling awkward when I'm in a group of people I don't know. I ended up doing 5x1 mile on the apartment treadmill.

I waited until 11AM for the weather to get better and it never did. Those few days of 50 degree weather really spoiled me!

A nice 7 mile stroll in the beautiful weather! It feels weird to wear shorts outside.

I woke up at 8am to go running today. Instead I ate pancakes, graded, ate lunch, watched Alice in Wonderland, ate chocolate covered pastry, cleaned the bathroom. I finally ended up running at 4pm.

I've got a bad case of the lack of motivations.

There is so much acid in my legs today for some reason. I was struggling not to walk!
