DEAR TRAINING EQUIPMENT:




Dear shoes,
I'm sorry that I have neglected you since my last race. I promised myself I wouldn't do that. I lied. Two weeks after the race I tried really hard to put you on and go for a run. But I was just too burnt out. Two weeks turned to three weeks which has now gotten way out of hand and turned into six weeks. I've been too nervous to hit the road with you lately, I don't want to see how much ground I've lost in my lazy month and a half off.  I'm sorry I traded you in for a swim cap... so today because the fates of the universe are screaming at me to go - I'll put my swim cap down and take you for a run. I hope you'll be kind to me.

Dear Swim Cap,
You are pink, and cute, and I like you... even if I only get to wear you while also wearing a ridiculously tight sausage case of a swim suit. I've been giving you a lot of attention lately - in prep for this weekends race. But I have a few other items of business to take care of as well and I might have to put you down a few times per week. We will still glide through the water together a few times a week - but I must also start running again. Thanks for understanding.

Dear Bike,
I'm still avoiding you. No other reason than I hate spandex. So I'll deal with you later. Sorry.

Dear Yoga Mat:
 You bring me peace, tranquility, and acceptance. I love you.

So, I'm sitting here eating a chocolate chip cookie also pondering why I am not at my goal weight. hmmmm.
I'm going on a 4.5 mile run tonight if you want to come.

Hope your run went well today or if you decided not to go, that's okay! I'm with you about the spandex - -think that is why I love the biking skirts! LOVE my yoga mat too. Best wishes this weekend.
