Stoking the Fire

FIRE IN THE BELLY - "an unquenchable thirst for power or glory; the burning drive to win a race or achieve a goal. As a political phrase, the expression is usually used to indicate a Presidential candidates' desire to win, particularly the willingness to endure the long contest.

Ankle isn't feeling better or worse. Been icing and stretching. I woke up Sunday morning feeling edgy/cranky. I was going to put on some mellow/meditative music, but then I realized I didn't want to...I wanted to keep the edginess cause I knew it would help me have a better run....and it did! 10 good miles w/ hills mixed in. I am still not where I want to be in terms of weekly mileage, but inching my way there. Next Sunday is ING HALF. Should be a good/fun day.

I need to get a massage! Slept horrible last night so was glad to get in 6 miles today. Toyed around with going for a bike ride as well, but I will save it.
I read in my new running magazine that Lance Armstrong will be running in Boston next month, with an aim at 2:45. He was just over 2:46 in NY last fall. Go Lance! (He'll be running to collect donations for his foundation LIVESTRONG.ORG, which as done a lot of good things.)

On personal note, I have become involved with the Lupus Foundation and am collecting donations for the Georgia Chapter of the Foundation. I'm excited to be a part of this and hope to raise money and awareness through my participation in the ING Half-Marathon on March 30th. The link is on the right side of page if you are interested.

Cheers and Train Smart!
