Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Ran with Paula, Renee and my son Jake this morning.  He asked if he could start running with me and of course I said YES!   We ran the 1.5 miles to the fitness ctr and then went to start on the trail and he wanted to go ahead.  I said yes and then to wait for me once he made it around once, but he missed the gate and kept going.  I got some speed work in trying to find him and then get him back in time to get ready for school - He did an awesome job!  Paula dropped Renee off and then she and I added on another couple of miles.  Nice to get some running in today, now I am looking forward to sleep because I did not get any last night.

Can I just say I love the shoe tracker!!

Happy Running!

BBK or BGMK run today.  We ran in the neighborhoods around Bingham High today.  I am always worried I am going to get hit by a teenage driver, but we were all safe today.  It was great to run with Britta today and get to know her a little better.  I overdressed today and ended up having to take off my outer layer.

Happy Running!

Completely messed up my plans for a better run because I thought my flight left today later than it did.  I only had a few minutes so I  ran 1.2 with Jake and the rest with Paula and Renee.

No run today :(  I got home late last night from LA and learned that my daughter needed help finishing a big school project this morning.  I did not have time to go out with the BBK today and when I got up to go on my own my head was pounding.  I have had a lingering headache from a migraine a couple of weeks ago that comes and goes, so I chose a little more sleep.  Not sure if that was the best idea but  the decision has been made.  

We leave for SG tonight so I will get some good running tomorrow and Saturday.

 Happy Running!

Mixed feelings about today's run.  

 The Good:

1.  I ran with Marcie which is always great!  She is so sweet to run with me, the slow whiny girl.

2.  I ran in shorts and a T-Shirt for the first time since the marathon.

3.  I had 5 fast miles which were all 8:00 or under - YEAH!

The Bad:

1.  We had planned on two 5k's but I was beat after one and new that doing another was not a good idea with a long run tomorrow, so I told Marcie I needed easy miles for the rest.

2.  I tired out sooner that I expected, especially because I did not run yesterday. So instead of 12 miles I ended with 10.

3.  I thought that I could get the other 2 in with Jake but when I got back to my mom's he did not want to run and my husband was going golfing so that was the end my running this morning.:(

I am very happy with my overall pace of 8:15, but so disapointed with my shape and the fact that I quit. UGH!  

Happy Running!

I ran with Marcie again as well as her friends Peggy, Heidi and Cherie.  We had a good run today with a hill in SG that I hate, but I made it  up  - barely.  We took it pretty slow the first half and then picked up the pace the second half.  I had decided though that beginning Nov 1 I would drop the pace on what I considered fast miles by 10 seconds so only 2 today at 8:10 or faster, 1 however was sub 8.  It was a good run despite being a little shorter than what I had planned due to running out of time.

 I also went and saw April today.   She did a great job working on my calves and my hamstrings and I am feeling much better.
