Neighbor and I were going to run 11 today since we didn't get a long run in on Saturday, but we both woke up sore from the race and it was overcast & drizzling. 

We decided to only do 4-6, but after 2 just threw in the towel because her back was really hurting.  We walked home and look at a house for sale that she wants to buy (she's renting now).

Here's a photo of some superheros from the krispy kreme run....

You're welcome.

Up and at em early again.  The first couple miles were super slow & tough, but then I caught my groove & put it in my pocket for the rest of the run.

Nothing dead to see, although it could have been me looking like a running zombie there the first 2 miles.  Here's something you CAN see- another contestant in the stange costume krispy kreme challenge.

A very merry unbirthday to you!

what a mess of a morning.  I slept in knowing that I'd still have plenty of time to do the p90x plyo, then just afer I got up, I got a phone call saying I'd have to pick up daughter from seminary so that cut my time in half.  I decided to do some elliptical instead, and then after 20 min she called & said she had a ride home anyway.

So I could have done it, but didn't think it was possible, and then was relieved/mad that I didn't get the chance. 

I ended up with 45 elliptical and one kettle ball session.  Running today after school.

We ran and went through a new neighborhood to get a new view.  Me & the lone bubble girl...

Early morning run with neighbor.  We both had so much to talk about, we were still talking when we finished but had to go inside because it was too cold to stand around being sweaty wet.

We were chased by 2 dogs on a road I usually never have dog trouble with.  And of course I'd left my air horn at home!  I feel like the wicked witch of the west, "I'll get you next time, my pretty!"

Avg pace 9:40.  Knee bothered me the rest of the day.  Iced it in the pm.  Hoping for better luck with it tomorrow.

My knee felt better this morning, and I wondered if I should run like I'd planned- but I chose to err on the side of caution and I did elliptical instead.

45 min elliptical and ab ripper x.

Got a phone call during elliptical that I had to pick up daughter from seminary.  The boy that drives her home fell asleep on his way to the church this morning and drove his car into someone's front porch.  So I'm guessing I'll be driving her home from seminary for the rest of the year.  NOT happy about that.  The boy is okay- didn't hurt him, but totaled his truck.

20 min elliptical after work.  Went to bed early again.  I could get used to this.

I had to wake up at 3:40 this morning to get it done, but it was worth it to get my long run in with MR.  He'd taken the morning off so we could run together.  It was 32* when we left and 30* when we got home.

10 miles- it was our long run for the week.  We have plans Saturday morning so we did it early.  It's great having it out of the way already.

Ave pace was 9:40.  Faster the second half than the first, and I felt good finishing strong. 

We had to stop along the way 3 times.  Twice for MR's twisted ankle (it's hard to judge depth perception in the dark), and once because he was hot and when he tried to unzip his sleeves, he got frustated and turned into the Hulk and started ripping the fabric of his jacket. 

I had a gu half way through.  it was key lime pie.  I loved it!

No critters, very few cars.  I did take my air horn with me and when the dog came out and I pushed the horn, it was kind of quiet... and then the whole thing started freezing over and spraying freezing air everywhere. I froze my hand (8.5 hours later, it's still red & tender).  It did keep the dogs back, but it took a lot of air time.  I didn't see any house lights come on, but I'm hoping as the weather warms up, the noise will get louder.  I'd just love to wake up the people who are irresponsible and leave their dogs out loose on the streets all night when it's 30 degrees outside. 

Hey, a girl can dream....

Did 30 minutes elliptical after work so I could earn some extra calories for dinner out with Wyatt.  Fun stuff, as usual.

We helped with a local blue & gold banquet today, but had time to sneak off to the park across the street and did some walking.  It was cold, but we were bundled up.  I wore my merrells and tried to walk on the balls of my feet instead of my heels like I usually do.

I had some terror flashbacks to Collette, (the crazy lady with cheese & dog hair) as I was walking pretty on my feet.
