I may have run a little slow this morning... it took me 1 hour to run 5.5 miles, but I feel great!  I'm so happy I got out of bed this morning, and out on the street!

Cross-training today on the bike.  I ride a mountain bike, so it takes quite a lot of effort to go fast.  Does that sound right, or am I just slow? (I was riding about 12 mph)

I got up later than normal, and ended up running in the heat.  Yuck!

Easy 2.5 miles this morning!  I think I may be coming down with something though, because my throat feels like it has a cut in it.  o-well

good crud!!! There has to be something about Monday night to Tuesday early morning thart makes my little Melanie (8 month old) decide to keep me up.  I decided to go back to sleep when my alarm went off at 4:20 because I had been up since before 3 and have an important meeting to go to today.  Don't tell Sasha :o).  I can't run or bike after work because it's too hot to take Melanie out there, so I guess it's another cross-training Tuesday for me.

This morning there was a lightning storm, so I decided to hold off running until this evening.  I usually don't run at night, infact, I'm usually in bed by 8:30 pm, but couldn't run until Brandon (my husband) got home from mutual.  So, I left my house at 8:40 pm.  I ran 5.25 miles but made it home by 9:22pm.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  I knew I was doing good, but I didn't think I was going *that* fast.

Okay, off to bed!  Good night!!!

It was a little difficult getting out of bed this morning (since I went to bed about 1.5 hours later than I normally did last night, among other things), but I'm sure glad I did.  I did an 8.5 mile bike ride.  I was going to do 10 miles, but I got sick of sitting at a light and decided to turn rather than go straight.  I'm okay with that though.  :o). 

This morning I decided to experiment with my gears a little to see if I could get in "the groove" while riding at a higher gear level, and I think I may have messed something up.  It's a good thing I'm married to a mechanic.  He might not be a bike mechanic, but that man can fix almost anything!  :o)

All in all, I think I kicked some tail. (LOL)  Now it's time to get ready for work.

Melanie and I went for a short run this morning.  It is a little hard to run with a jogging stroller, so I was slower than I normally am, but I'm okay with that.  (I think it added 2 mins to my time).  Melanie was a big hit when we ran past the local elementary school.  All the school children that were walking to school had to say hi to her.  I thought that was kind of fun.

We went camping this weekend for my husband's birthday... but I still got my rear in gear and ran.  If we were in town, I would have ran close to 7 miles, but we were most definiately NOT in town.  I always knew that it would be harder running in higher elevations, but I didn't know it would kick my rear that much.  So, 4 miles it is.  And I'm lucky I could even do that.  It was definiately uphill... both ways... in the snow!!!
