Woot!

My baby sister FINALLY agreed to run the You Go Girl half with me!!!!!!  I'm SO excited for this race!!!!  Two reasons: First and foremost, I get to run it with TWO of my sisters!!!  This will be their first half marathons, and I'm so very excited for them to have that feeling of finishing such a HUGE accomplishment!  Not that they don't already have huge accomplishments and succeed at so much in their lives, but running 13.1 miles... that's something different.  


Second: This will be my second half.


I'm going to make sure that we have matching running outfits (well, Andi and I will... Heather is a Husky, so that won't work).  I convinced Matt to help me get WSU Cougar running shorts and tanks for the run for Andi and I.  We'll have to find some Husky crap for Heather to wear.  I love her dearly, but wrong team...

Silly Heather <3

See!  Hard core Cougars!!!!!!

Anyway...  So I've taken a few days off of running because when I pushed myself last time, it felt really good, but left me exhausted for two days.  I was super grumpy yesterday and I've just felt really off lately.  Last night I got some very much needed sleep and woke up feeling rested for the first time in a few weeks.  I'm still going to skip my run today, but tomorrow after work I think I'll be back.  I'm tired of feeling disappointed with how I ran.  I had a nice talk with a friend who made me realize that I'm not eating enough protein, and not listening to my body telling me I'm too tired to push the way I've been pushing.  So I listened, and am working on my nutritional intake, and drinking more water, and not pushing my body when it telling me to slow the Ef down.

So that's all for now.  I think I'm going to get new running shoes soon.  That makes me excited as well :)
