Oh How I've Missed YOU!!!!

Happy Thursday!!!! It's Thirsty Thursday drink that H2O all day everyday!!! So yesterday was my cardio day, I did my 30 minute JMBR Cardio 1 dvd in the morning. I really really really wanted to do a run outside but the Husband has been working late all week catching up on meetings and emails since coming back from Germany. Soooooo I knew I was going to have to go on a date with the treadmill. I hooked up the music and ear buds, did a little stretching and bam hit 5mph on that bad boy (I knew I still had to take it slow since I haven't ran in a month.) The only time I hit 7mph was for my favorite song Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys maaaannnnn I LOVE that song!!!

(threw my #ootd in there)

WOW what a feeling it was to do my first solo run since the half marathon a month ago. I knew I missed it but I can not describe the feeling I had, to be back on the "pavement" (I was pretending because I REALLY wanted to be running outside) It felt ammaaaaazzzzzzziiiinngggg!!!! Running solo with your running playlist blasting in your ears is indescribable unless you know the exact feeling because you are a runner. I was so happy to be running I wanted to make out with the treadmill ha! Then 2 miles hit and it turned back into the dreadmill. That's when I had to dig deep into my brain to keep pretending I was running outside :)! Anyways I am so so so so happy to be running again, I will get one in outside on a running trail this weekend and I CANNOT wait!!!!

I went and showered before the Hubs got home and started making dinner. While I was in the kitchen my 5 year old ran in and was very worried.......
V - "Mom are you okay?!"
Me - "yeah baby why?"
V - "do your feet hurt?"
Me - "no they feel okay"
V - "are they burning?"
Me - "haha no they feel fine"
V - "Well I put my hand on the treadmill and it's really hot! you didn't burn your feet when you were running?"
Me - "haha no I'm fine honey! It's called kickin booty! I just run so fast it gets hot! You'll do that one day when you get fast!"
V - "awesome"

That completely made my night and put the icing on the very good cake I just ate on the dreadmill! It feels so good to be moving my feet fast again!

Oh and I keep forgetting to tell y'all I had to make a new instagram account the other one mixed up with my personal one and I had to delete it! If y'all wanna find me on instagram again it's @run_elisha_run find me because I really miss y'all!!!!!!

 A little Throwback Thursday for y'all (I took this after my workout today) and the right is in 2008 making my way up the scale.....
