Shoot for the Stars

Starbucks in Enumclaw. 6:30 a.m. Niki, Sunny, and I met at Starbucks to meet Mishel who started her run work out from June's place at 5:30 a.m. You go girl! We ran a nice route on Roosevelt street and then turned Left back over to the grassland/wetland area on the bike trail to Starbucks. That was about 5 miles.Then we met up with the normal running group at 7:30 a.m. to do another 5 miles. We had probably about 5 min break in between times. June, Jan, Janet, Lindsay, Angela joined us for a run. Sunny didn't feel well so she had to go home. Janet brought her dog Cloey and Lindsay brought her dog Mia. We ran a route off of Watson towards Mt. Peak and the side of it to the left and a big loop back. Mishel was getting very tired the last 4 miles or so. I was exhausted as well from staying up late the night before and eating some pizza. It was a mental game to keep going but it really helped to run with Mishel and Niki who kept my pace the whole way. We were out on the front of the pack but we did have to stop and walk twice because we were just so tired. The weather was cloudy and kinda muggy but it was beautiful with the sun trying to peak through. No pain in legs which was nice. The only 2 things that sort of bothered me was the Left underarm chafing and left calus rubbing on shoe-that is a usual problem though. Great run!! Felt very accomplished to get 10 miles in!!! It's been awhile since I got that much in. Mishel paid for all of us coffee. I talked with Jan about 3 mile obstacle courses that sound like so much fun! That sounds like my next adventure, just gotta find one on a Sunday!!
