More than a Pretty Face: March 2014

So I keep telling myself.....and the rest of the world for that much that I am really not a runner. It is just something I do when I can't get to the gym. What I am is very competitive with myself. So that kinda made me a runner. Just one more mile. one more minute faster, one more race. So I run. No....I am a runner. The past 3 weeks I have run 2....TWO...half-marathons and one 5k fun run where I ran my personal best (fastest) time. So, I guess I am a runner. Sigh!!

I will say that after finishing my second half-marathon today, that I am for a fact NOT a long distance runner. The best part of running that long of a distance is the start and the finish. Everything in between really does suck. I don't care who you are, when you hit the pavement that long there will be pain, discomfort and blisters. Today I had all 3. And it was 70 degrees. But I ran 13.1 miles in 3 hours with over 1000 other runners. However, that is my last long distance run like that. Do NOT love it like some do. I do love 6 miles and under. That is all.

Here are my pics from my latest runs that I ran because I am NOT a runner.
