On a roll

Y'all.  I have run TWO WHOLE TIMES since I've been back in Richmond for Christmas.  Look at that consistency!  TWO WHOLE TIMESSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Both were the same 3.8 mile route through the neighborhood I grew up in.  The first time I got lost, the second time was in the rain, but still....Yay for me! :)

(think sidewalk lined streets, cute cape-style houses & fun restaurants) We had run this area a lot during our training for the Nashville half, but boy does it not take much time to forget how HARD different routes can be.

Nike is about to start making fun of me because I keep forgetting to use Nike+ when I've been out walking/running.  Well, when I say "I forget to use" I actually mean "I forget to charge my iPod."  So I have no proof, but the 'ole Nano is charging right now, just READY to start calibrating.

If running yesterday taught me anything, it's that it's okay to take time off after a big race, but also to not let TOO much time go.  Here's my motto for this week:
