Today was rough!  I had planned on running some hills and getting in a good quality work out but as soon as I hit the road I knew my body was not up for that.  My legs were tired and my knees a little sore from Saturday's run, so I changed my plans to an easier run.  Just because it was an easier route does not mean it was easier :(  I struggled feeling good and was quite dehydrated the entire way.  (fasting the day before will do that to you.)  The last 1.5 I needed a bathroom badly,  I almost stopped at the 7-11 a quarter mile from my house.   I made it home, but they were some ugly miles today.    I leave for Seattle this morning and hopefully tomorrow will be a better run!

Leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when you'll be back again.....

off you go you traveling girl. Have fun and enjoy cooler weather. I just signed up for desnews 10k. I hope to enjoy that this week. And let me know when you are in need of a slow run!

I'm still working out what's going on Saturday morning. I'll try to let you know soon. Good luck with more traveling!

Hey at least you got some miles in today even if they were UGLY, those miles make you tougher. Be safe traveling! Good job on listening to your body and adjusting your running plans!

I think we should all get Monday bonus 'points'. Just getting out there and doing it after Sunday is always a challenge to me. Not to mention all the traveling and the fasting! Those two things always bring me to my knees. Good job just doing it. Enjoy the cooler NW!.
