Back to running.....I'm currently training from my first full marathon! Yikes, I am scared to death!  I have a solid training plan from Runners World Magazine, but it's still a little scary. I've never run further than 13.1 and I've get to run further than 10 miles by myself.  What was I thinking signing up for this!!  I know what I was thinking, BIG GOALS, the BIGGER the BETTER.  I've always been a goal setter, I can't seem to move forward in my life with out something to work towards.  One would think after 40 years I would have learned that these goals don't have to be so lofty, Yeah, but then what's the point ;)

SOOOO... here my issue for the week.
I have a Morton's neuroma in my right foot.  It's basically an inflamed nerve between the toes and it's very painful.  I havent had a flare up in almost a year and now it's BACK! Really right in the middle of 26.2 training.  Well I've gotten some new shoe inserts (metatarsal pads) so hopefully I'll be back on track.
Question for the week can I get myself in shape to run with just a job bra?  (That's my new goal, well outside of the 26.2.)

So since this blog is called SeeStephanieRun, I should get back to the running part!  I am currently training for my first full marathon and it's really been a challenge.  I've not reached a point in my training where I need to run further than 13, but it's coming soon!

Well I'm still feeling a little blue from my running weekend.  I really should have made more of an effort to talk to the people from my on-line running group.  Its really the fact that on-line I don't have to see your reaction to something I say, Good/Bad/or Ugly. I vow to try and have a small conversation with each of them next time.  Other than that I had a mini meltdown at work today!  What's that saying about you can't control others, but you can control your reactions....well I blew that one BIG time today.  Again this is another lesson I can use to over come my fear of talking to people by having conversation and not hiding, even from those people I see everyday.  I don't need to be an open book, but I can at least be constructively honest.
 I'm going to turn this all around!
Daily Lesson - Control your reaction! And get back in touch with a dear friend, cause the universe knows I don't have many of them.

Recovering from my 10mile run Saturday night, 1:56 finish time and my toe is acting up again.
