AM 

Just to be consistent this week, I got a late start and had to cut the run short. I planned on getting at least 9 in today so I am a little disappointed with the mileage. Maybe I can get a couple of miles in later today but it is tough for me to find time for a second run in a day.

Total Distance: 6 miles 

Total Time: 44:08 (7:21/mile)

PM

After picking the kids up from school, I decided that I would try to hurry and get in a few miles.  First I ran 0.5 miles with Gracie because she begged to go running with me.  Dropped her back home and headed out for a quick 4.  I'm not used to running in the afternoon and my body let me know that it was not happy.  I had a wicked side stitch for much of the run.  I pushed the pace during the last mile and was running well coming down my street (sub 6:00 pace) when I was attacked by a wild pack of dogs (a bassett, beagle and chihuahua) and had to stop so they wouldn't get too far from their home.

Total Distance: 4.5 miles

Total Time: 34:22 (7:07/mile for my miles and 12:00/mile with Gracie)

I hear you on getting a late start. Late starts (and bathroom breaks) have killed more than one of my runs in recent weeks...today in fact. Wanted 10...got 7...whatcha gonna do?

I am with you on the late starts, it is nothing but trouble, it has killed me a few times too. A good job following through Andy, keep it up...
