Got up early this morning for a really nice run!  I ran with my friend this morning and she is faster than me so she pushed me.  That is the fastest I have been in a long time!  It felt really good!

There is a half marathon in Highland the middle of Oct. that we are planning on running. There is a part of me though that really enjoys running by myself.  I don't have to worry about anyone.  We are pretty equal in our running abilities so I don't think it will be an issue. She doesn't care if we split up either.  I am hoping we will be able to push each other to go faster.  We have the potential to run a really good race. 

LOVE fall running.  You can't beat this beautiful weather!

We are picking up the pace and it is kind of killing me. I like the push, but I don't think I could run a whole half marathon @ this pace and feel good by the end. My friend runs 5k's and really pushes herself in them and that is great, but I think we need to start out a little slower and pick it up more like after mile 3 or 4. I do want to get faster so maybe I should just suck it up and push through it. Would love to hear from you wise runners and what you think? My biggest thing is to avoid injury!!!

My Husband has been sick the past few days and I am ready to go made! Why are men such wimps!!! I had the same thing at the beginning of the week and I didn't get to take the afternoon off and sleep the reat of the day!!! What's up with that?  I guess that is why the women have the babies. If it was up to the men the human race would be extinct!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!!

Smooth- My friend that told me about the half in Highland was mistaken, it is only a 10k.

Had a good run in the morning.  We really pushed ourselves at the beginning and it kind of kicked my butt.  I can feel it helping me though.  It is so nice to have someone who helps you push yourself.

From here on out my main goal is to lose 10 lbs.  My husband and I are heading to Mexico the end of Oct. and I don't want to look like a beached whale.  The thing that make it discouraging is that my husband has been working out too and he is looking really hot!!! Why is it so hard for me to lose and it's nothing for him!!!  I am going to start to post my weight so no one make fun!!  Here goes nothing!!
