Day's Left until I become Mrs. Smith :)

I had a wonderful 1st Christmas with Z and his family. I got more presents then I ever imagined and ate delicious food. But not too much.
I was also really happy about being able to run 17.5 miles in three days while I was there. It helped out immensely. The endorphins are always a great treat, but it also put me in a healthy frame of mind and kept me relaxed.
The first day I ran 6.60 miles at the local community center. It wasn't too bad, but boy were my muscles screaming at me the next day so I knew I had to do something or the soreness would just get stronger the next day.
The second day I ran on Z's parents treadmill after having a beer, it was really HOT down stairs with the fireplace blaring, and I was very sore. I was totally sucking wind, but I kept at it with 3 little 2 minute each walking break in between,
The third day I ran 5.5 miles and it felt great! No sucking wind and I opened the French doors behind me to keep the cool air blowing on me so it was really refreshing to run AND to have the fresh air around me. I took a rest day yesterday since we didn't get back until pretty late but I plan on getting another 6 mile run in tonight. My legs are leaning up and I am starting to see my stomach muscles again. If I keep this up it shouldn't take me too long to get off the next softness I've let build up over the last couple of months. My feet and ankles only hurt a bit so far so I will try to keep on eye on that. Other than that things are wonderful. I need to start taking my vitamins and taking in enough water again, so that is what I will try to focus on today.
So far I'm back on track.
