Crazy 10 miler!
At this point my run was over. I was just trying to run back to my car so I could get home and shower. My fingers were red and swelling, my face was burning, and I started getting a headache. Got home and showered, iced my hands and coated my hands and face with Rodan+Fields SOOTHE! This is a recovery I've never done before.
Thankfully, I was able to get the last 5 miles on the treadmill in my basement, where there are no dogs threatening my safety. Glad this 10 miles finally came together. Nothing like a little drama to make things interesting.

Changing Skin & Changing Lives!
REDEFINE for anti-aging |
And I am so happy my mom has agreed to let me share her results with everyone. She was diagnosed with Stage 3C breast cancer in November 2012. After finishing chemo, she went through several months of radiation, which caused her skin to dry out so much it was cracking and bleeding. Awful and painful! After doing everything that her doctors had recommended, which obviously wasn't working, she agreed to try Rodan + Fields SOOTHE, which is for sensitive skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. These are her results after only 5 days! A year later, you can't even tell. No scar.

365 Day Plank Challenge
Just over 365 days ago I started a plank challenge. I had attempted it once or twice before and then something would happen and I would forget, which would cause my streak to start back over with Day 1. How frustrating is that! But as they say, you don't fail until you quit trying. Persistence pays off! I found that I could remember easier by making it part of my nightly routine, and a year later, I am still planking. Every night, for 377 nights now.
Are you looking for a challenge? Try this one. Start out small. Set a goal to plank every day for a week, and then as you get closer, raise the bar higher. I never expected to plank for a year straight, but if you break it down day by day it doesn't seem so overwhelming.

Talladega 21000 ~ 13.15 mi/ Time 2:13:10
Had to fight the wind a good bit today, and it was pretty hot. There were a few times I questioned whether I was actually moving. Held a steady pace in the 9:50s/ until around mile 7, where I started to slow down just a bit. Had a cool moment where I looked down at my watch at mile 10.13, was running a pace of 10:13/ and an average pace of 10:13/. If only I could have gotten a picture of that!
Picked the pace back up the last little bit and finished strong! So cool to have friends and family waiting at the finish line. The kids had a super awesome time at the track today. :) So glad I got to run this with my friends Kathy, Keith, and Glen. This was Kathy's first half, and she ran it strong! So proud of her. Hope we got you hooked, Girl! There is nothing like RUNNER'S HIGH!
Finish time was 2:13:10.
