catherine's running efforts

My sister came over. The first thing she asked was, "Is there a Smart Cookie store here?" We ran up to the track together and ran around and then ran home. She doesn't run very much and doesn't like it yet, so she does a run-walk thing. But when she's running she goes at around a 9:30 pace. And when she stops to walk she's still talking well. I asked her what makes her feel like she needs to stop to walk, and she said it's her soul. 

Our legs are the same even though she doesn't run (though some would argue that I don't run).   

And we both like cookies.  

With Toby for her speedwork. She was doing 3 sets of 800 with a 400 cooldown. I was late getting to the track so I only did 2 sets. I gagged a little bit after the first 800. Plus there were sprinklers. My 800s were 3:12 and 3:16, and my ap for the whole morning was 10:02. I was *so* tired running back home, and the sides of my lower right calf were pretty sore. Hopefully I just need to stretch.  

I ran 2 of the 4.5 miles around the lake after driving to Pinecrest, CA with Eric and Elliott. A whole lot of diet soda and some candy and other junk throughout the day made for a pretty unhappy tummy. It was pretty outside, though. 

Practice run with the rental jog stroller. It pulled to one side. Beautiful place to run, though.
