Mrs. Quiter McQuiterson

QUIT, quit, QUIT, QUIT, quit, QUIT..........

Seriously, this was the one and only thought racing through my mind from the very start of mile 2.  I got attacked by a nasty cramp in my side that would not go away.  At one point I may have been running like the hunch back of Notre Dame.  Yuppers, the pain was so intense I couldn't really stand up straight. Forget about it when we started running downhill.  ouchy.  I was a hot mess hobbling along, gasping for air and clutching my side.  Are you getting the visual people?  We're talking 6:30am, busy road with lots of travelers, a stint at a stoplight waiting to cross the road and did I mention I inadvertently dressed like a bumble bee for today's run?  Not embarrassing at all. promise.


I was borderline turning it into a song in my head it was yelling at me so loud.  Geez, I hear you thoughts....got your message....loud and clear.....go bother someone else's thoughts...no, seriously....scoot. skidaddle. beat it.


My pleading didn't work and so the unthinkable happened...dun, dun, dun...I had to STOP running. GAH!  I just. couldn't. finish. BOOOO!!

I have noticed I have a lot more bad runs than good runs but the good runs make it soooo worth it to keep.pushing.through! Ohhh and I am struggling with runnin in the heat! It was soo much easier when it was cold!

Never quit! I started running again after a year hiatus from an injury. The first weeks are brutal, but once you find your stride you will see it's worth it! Never quit!
