yay me... and Holiday GU?

So a woot woot and a YAY me... I ran 8 miles on the treadmill pain free today. I felt so awesome. I really wanted to keep running, but knew I shouldn't push it. After my last post about running pain free, I ran a little more, and it was NOT pain free. So I have been really down and annoyed. I am just counting down the days till me Doc apt. (29Th) This was the furthest I have run since my marathon in Oct. We will see what tomorrow shall bring. Lets hope more pain free workouts.So Tall mom is hosting yet again another GREAT giveaway. I love GU. I actually use Roctane GU. I feel like it keeps me head strong longer while running long. Anyways, Tall Mom is giving away some Holiday flavored GU. So yummy. Go check her out here.

I so want to love GU. The flavors sound so good. I cannot stand the stuff however. I gag the second it hits my tongue. So glad your recovery seems to be going well. You=excited to be pain free. Me=almost asking for pain so I have an excuse to quit training!! Good luck at the Doc!

Yay for running 8 miles...I hate having running problems! I have been using the roctaine too. I like it better...but the regular gu gingerbread flavor is pretty good. Merry Christmas!
