A *Sparkalish* Roar!: Running

I run. I run and run and run, all.the.time, it seems, but then I got hurt, and took a month off from running. Now I run for a little while and stop, then my knee hurts I cry and whine, then I run again, and cry and whine about my endurance. It's a vicious circle. I can't run far cause my knee hurts, and I can't build my endurance cause I can't run far.

I'm slowly getting back to decent distance. I consider 4 miles a decent distance to run a few times a week along with one long run of 8-10 miles a week. I won't be seeing the 8-10 for a few more months, but I'm building back up to the point of my 4 miler with little to no pain.

I should say, this is NO.RUNNING.BLOG. I hate to run...but, alas, I can't stop. If you want a running blog I have several friends that have some GREAT running blogs TOO TALL FRITZ (Amanda is funny and fun), Maggie RUN FOR PI(e), Kelly and KELLOMETERS <-- very clever, Kelly, and my recent new pal, Amanda at GET TO GOAL. My awesome running group the F'N runners ran a Christmas Eve run from 3.5-7 miles. I ran 3.5 with my 12 year old, Megan and my pal Lisa. Daily Vitamin F says if I run at least 5k (which is 3.1 miles) and put my picture out there, I can win a prize. (I.LOVE.PRIZES). So here's my picture:

This is actually me and my gorgeous daughter Megan (she's the beautiful on on the right).
