I was worried about my run because Eddie and I went to eat at one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants "Mi Cocina" for I got a $100 gift card from one of our school vendors. It was Friday and had a crazy, busy, hectic work week that I really wanted to go for Happy Hour. So, we did and needless to say, I had not one, but two Mambo Taxi drinks which is my favorite. I never drink before my Saturday long runs, but thought to myself, "I'm not training for Vegas anymore, why not enjoy a little drink." I also indulged in chips and queso! I loved every bite and every sip of my margarita/swirl drink. So yes, I woke up thinking I'm going to hurt on my run. Well, I took care of my business before my run (like I always do), ate half a banana and filled my water bottle and took off. I wanted to run FW Trinity Trails, but last week a female runner was assaulted by a naked guy riding a bike and he got away. Police still haven't caught him yet. I will avoid that trail for a while. I ran at Bear Creek Park and ran slow. My foot still feels sore and forces me to run slow. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever run fast again. At about mile 6 my stomach hurts and feel I have to go find a restroom pronto, but none around so I have to walk run that mile until I feel better again. I finished, but it was not a fun run. Lesson learned and next time I'll have my HH after my run..HA! Honestly, I think I need to find a half marathon to replace the Las Vegas Nov. 12th marathon. Once I register, I know I'll be able to discipline myself better.

Fall Begins
Yesterday was the first day fall here in Texas. It didn't feel like fall, it's still feels like summer! I was excited about running this morning and got up early to try and beat the heat. Today I ran my first double digit run of 10 miles!! I haven't ran that since June 17th. I remember that because it was Taylor and Lauren's wedding day and run to release stress...LOL! That was a super busy day.
