withdrawl!!!

got an email from a gal from my running group last night...
she used the word 'withdrawl' to describe how she was feeling now that the race is over.

she misses the (almost) daily emails from our group leader jaye..
jaye would give us a running tip of some sort...whether it was when to drink your water or what to eat an hour before a long run or exactly how early we'd be meeting for our morning runs.
i miss the emails to.

i on the other hand am in a mild panic that if i don't start running again..i'll fall into Fat Hell! for the last two mornings i've set my alarm to get up and run at least a couple miles...and each time it buzzes i hit the snooze...i actually wind up hitting the snooze long enough that the alarm has canceled out. i got up early so many times..but i can't do it now...
i've got noone waiting on me down the street..

i have identified a race to run in another five weeks called The Turkey Trot..it is only five miles and if you are one of the first 1000 finishers you get a free Pumpkin Pie. I'm actively recruiting!!!!!!

if i don't have a 'goal' to train towards..i'm not sure i'll keep this up...
i can keep it up on the treadmill no problem...but the outdoor running won't happen i don't think.. not without some running peeps.

the other night Joy and I celebrated the race by sharing a Surf n Turf at The Top...boy oh boy was it good...long time since i've had lobster!! then Bob (the bartender) was pouring some might fine ..... and i mean Mighty Fine marguritas...I only had one..but i could have had another...

if i knew i needed to be up and ready to run...having only one would not have been such a big deal....

nothing like a little ol' race to break me down and splay my weeknesses out for me to see.....
