Running Towards Myself: Viva Las Vegas!

Viva Las Vegas!

Seriously, I could never make it as one of those "socialite girls" that party every night!!! Let's put it this way, on Friday and Saturday night we were out so late that it made more sense to eat breakfast BEFORE we went to bed! Saturday night we went to Prive and I danced from 11:30pm until nearly 4am, which by the way I decided was equal to running 8 miles! As for running in Vegas, the only running I did was while shopping (as in "running in and out of stores!)!!!
My rib is feeling pretty darn good, major improvement over last week. So now it's time to buckle down and get back on schedule! My plan is to run Monday, Wednesday, and do my 20 mile long run on Friday.
Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

Good luck with getting back on track.; September 29, 2008 at 3:53 PM

Megan said...: I got the hint - I would comment all the time but I have NOT hing to add about running - and you go girl got very old.

I can't believe you were out dancing til 4am. I always think of you and Michele pretending to be asleep when I want to go to bed early on vaca.

When you talk more about clothes, shoes (not running shoes but you know Jimmy Choos) and purses, and makeup, I'll comment more.

But of course very proud of you for setting a goal and then working so very hard to acheive it - broken bones and all!; September 30, 2008 at 2:53 PM

Words of Wisdom

"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing will disturb your peace of mind.
See the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
Think only of the best, work only for the best and expect only the best.
Forget about the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Spend so much time on the improvement of yourself that there is no time to criticize others.
Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

"Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or be depressed. Ace the test or flunk the class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and cheat. Dance on tables or sit in the corner. Life is divine chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourslef. Breathe. And enjoy the ride. "
