I ran later this morning than I normally do (leaving the house at 7). I was actually surprised with myself for getting up. My daughter is still really sick and spent all night last night crying in pain and throwing up. It's aweful. I don't there is anything worse than that helpless feeling when your kids are sick. She is acting alittle better this morning, so hopefully she is getting better.

This morning's run felt really good. I was going slow (about 9-1/2 min/mil), and I actually got passed by a little boy who was "cruising" to school on his bike. That was kinda funny. I'm glad I got up and ran. There is something about running that makes you feel better about yourself. :o)

Hey my sunny bunny friend! You are not supposed to let kids pass you on their bikes. Next time put a stick in their spokes. lol jk dont do that, you'll be in the papers for sure. Hope your little one is feeling on the up and up and its starting to warm up a little bit more here in coldville so I thought about you. Ill bet when its so hot out and you get a spell of rain and the temps drop to say 80, everyone gets a cold. Nice miles for today.

It is definately hot out there. The rain felt good... too bad it doesn't look like it's coming back right away!

What is your normal training pace? Now I am wondering if I can keep up with you. 9:30 is not slow to me!

You're totally right about running making you feel better about yourself. in College I remember seeing a study about people who were dieting alone and people who were combining diet AND exercise. Almost without exception the dieters only fell off their diets and the exercisers kept at it. Wonder if it is because of the endorphins.

Back to running early again. I hate running in the rain, but if its hot out there I can imagine it would be nice.

Hey Piano lady, Im with you on that! I had mono a couple of years ago and just about got divorced because I was an honery A. If you can only imagine the exercise I was lacking. I got up to 140! Sheesh! Can you imagine? Everytime I saw someone out running I got mad and jealous and I would honk at them on purpose. Hey you jerk get off the road! lol Ok I didnt run them off the road but I wanted too.

From Camille on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 13:39:02

Aren't endorphins great?!?

Honestly, I train at whatever pace my body feels up to! LOL. I'm sure you would have no problem keeping up with me! So, I was thinking about you while I was running today. I was thinking that running barefoot probably helps with your pace when it's hot out. I was remember how when I was a kid we never wore shoes and would run as fast as possible from one grassy front yard to the next. LOL.

From Walter on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 13:41:55

Yeah Ill bet you guys got good at running from one yard to another. Feet of Steel!

From Camille on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 14:02:17

LOL Yeah. When I was a kid, I think I had hard feet. I walk through the small rocks in our front yard and it wouldn't phase me. It must have burnt all the feeling off them! I can't imagin going that now though...

From Camille on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 18:46:24

I think I'll pass. I may have ran in the heat lately, but I didn't fry my brain. I'm not that dumb. :o)

From Walter on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 18:58:58

Oh come on Ill do it if you do it! lol Your not bowing down to the oldness are you? Ok so maybe when we were younger we didnt think about the consequences. Now we wonder how long will I be injured when I do this. Funny

From camille on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 19:54:30

who are you calling old?!?

From walter on Fri, Sep 05, 2008 at 20:31:00

Exactly! Not me, Ill die with my running shoes on. Or at least have them burried with me. lol

From Camille on Sat, Sep 06, 2008 at 19:34:54

Be careful what you ask for. This time last year, the principal of the local elementary school did just that. He went out for a run, everything was okay, and while he was untying (spelling?) his shoes, he passed away.

From Walter on Sun, Sep 07, 2008 at 23:47:40

I probably wont be so lucky to go out that way. But they better let him have those shoes. I told my wife to bury me in my PR shoes. That way I can come out running! lol

From Lybi on Mon, Sep 08, 2008 at 00:24:55

Bwahahaha! You guys are a hoot. I know I'LL be buried with my running shoes on because I run in my FEET! Fortunately, I don't have to risk the danger of bending over to untie my shoes though--so hopefully I'll be around to run a lot longer.

BTW, the sidewalk is cool during the early morning hours, but my treadmill gets HOT! Isn't that weird? I can't run more than 3 miles barefooted on the ol' treadmill because of it.

From walter on Mon, Sep 08, 2008 at 09:23:32

Lybi, so you are the one that started the phrase barefoot and pregnant huh? lol Barefoot and running strong!
