Resurrect the Running...
I've come to learn that the less you want to run, the more you need to just buck up and do it. It's amazing how a quick lil' jaunt will make you feel so much better.
So as the craptastically delicious week continues, my stomach was really bothering me after dinner and I seriously contemplated just showering and hitting the hay. But that little voice in the back of my head would have nothing to do with it. I knew that if I just got up and ran, I'd feel a kajillion times better. Stomach issues and all.
So I laced up my shoes and went to the workout room. I only got through a mile and a half before the stomach acids started brewing and had to stop. It took me a whole 19:30 to do it. Blah. Not.Good.Enough.For.Me. It'll get better soon.
Rather than watch TV, I opted for the iPod today. One song in particular got me really going...it's a song by Self (this fantabulous band from Murfreesboro, TN) called Resurrect. You should all go download it. Now. Here. The lyrics are kick ass...and it's all about making the best with the little time we all have left here on earth. So be alive!! Go live!! And no matter how craptastic your days may be...at least you're alive!! HELL YAH!
But as for now, aside from my tummy bugging me, I feel fantastic.
And in other fun running news. I've been invited to be on the TNT Race Crew up here. It should be fun. I basically run races and talk to folks on the course and at the table about the programs. Should be fun...

Congrats on being part of the race crew! That sounds like it will be so much fun.
Great job on getting your run in. Have they been able to find any meds or anything for your stomach?
I'm still on the same stuff as before. It's hit or miss depending on the day.
TNT should be fun. That seems like a great group. Very inspirational
crewing is a blast
at least you got out for 19 minutes! and you feel great!
Hmmm...That bites about your stomach. My friend has some stomach/digestive issues that sometimes cut her runs short. Hers are a bit different than yours (more Irritable Bowel related) but I can totally understand your frustration. I know she's always struggling to get the proper treatment. I hope you find something good soon. And until then, good for you for keeping plugging away!!!!
