My Maiden Voyage

So sad...  So very sad...  I put on my headlamp this morning in anticipation of the darkness, excited to be a dork running with headgear.  Walked out the door at 6:10am and realized there was no need for the extra illumination so I sadly removed it from my head and started out feeling a little deflated on not getting to emulate the great Jeffro in my AM running attire.  I made it about a quarter mile down the road when my left knee started yelling at me, reminding me that in my headlamp debate I had forgotten to put on my knee strap.  I quickly came to a limping halt, tried stretching (which really doesn't work on the knee issue, but hey, I was doing something) and ended up turning back around and limping home. 

I had enough time to put on the knee strap and head out again, but knowing I'm running the 1/2 on Monday, I thougth it wiser to just lay low for today. 

Short story made entirely too long, my "pop-the-cherry" (for wearing the headlamp) run was a major fiasco.  Nonetheless, I will attempt it again next week after the 1/2 marathon.  I shall prevail!!!   Mwaahahaaaa!!!

Losing my virginity

What just happened to my first ever post?  Clearly I'm new to this blogging thing!

Anyhoo...  What I was saying was that I'm planning a quick little 2 miler for tomorrow since I need to take it easy until the 1/2 marathon on Monday.  Unlike Jeff, I've never ran in the dark with a headlamp, so this will by my "pop-the-cherry" run.  He he he...
