Shari's home. 5:30 a.m. Mishel and I rode over to Shari's home and met up with Shari. No one else joined us this morning. (Maybe we scared everyone off on Wed. with our speedy run). It was a goregous morning for a run! There was just one cloud I saw but it really cleared up with blue skies and the sun came out about 10 min after we started our run. The barn yards, grass, sunrise, Mt. Rainier, etc all looked so beautiful this morning! God is good! How lucky am I to see this bright and early and have a nice run with 2 fun ladies. I was very tired from only getting 5 hours of sleep last night; just got home late from MK and shopped after for an item; then by the time I get to bed....man! Not the best for the next day run. I felt okay but I definetly didn't mind the slower speed and walking after a steep hill. I think we walked 2x on the run. We ran from Shari's home out to the main road and took a R this time then turned R on the first gravel road that did a little loop and joined back into the main Rd. again. It was fun to do a new route for me (last time I did this I had to turn around cause I was running short on time). Slight L knee pain but nothing major. Tired tired tired, so was Mishel so that was good.
