The record is still broken.  I guess it's going to be chauffer week for me in the am, so unless something really inspires me to wake up before 430, my miles will be lower in the morning.

But that's okay, because it's just for a week and I CAN do it!

paces 9:40, 8:20, 8:01

stretched a little, but didn't get any strengthening in...other chauffering to be done today

How horrible will I rate on the "mother as a failure" scale if I sneak in 2 miles after work and miss the first 20 minutes of mini-me's soccer game?   Do I get any extra points since I found the shin guards at home on the bathroom floor and delivered them to the school?

ran slow for a mini "recovery" run.  paces were 11, 9:50, 10

 tried to run in the pm.  It was freakin' gorgeous outside.  Sunny, 75, blossoms on everything.  I accidently left my watch in the house, and by the time I noticed, I didn't want to have to go back in for it.  I decided to just run very easy and get some great sunshine miles in.

Whether it was from lack of sleep build up, being worn out, being dehydrated (I really don't see how), or too much Texas Pete on my chili at lunch, I started having some real troubles about a mile into my run.  My head felt disconnected, and sort of dizzy.  It didn't get any better, so just after mile 2, I thought I'd try walking for a while to see if it would help.  It did help, but I just walked home instead of trying to fit in another mile somewhere along the way.  My goal had been 4, so I didn't meet my goal.  Got home, pulled some weeds & had some gatorade type stuff.  

 Maybe it's something in the air.  The flowers on the trees were putting off some strong smells.  Those flowering pear trees are soooo beautiful, but holy cow, they smell horrible!

 Mini me helped me cook dinner & we treated ourselves to dinner on the sofa while we watched New Moon again. (the boys were both doing other things). 

 Nothing productive accomplished, but it was nice to chill.  I even got to put her hair up in curlers :-)  Good times.  Way better than two more miles.

What a beautiful day for a run!  Not too hot, sunshine, a little wind, & great running company.

It's been a couple months since I've run distance like 17.  Funny how there's such a difference between 13 and 17 miles.  I felt those tired legs kicking in around mile 15, but it was so nice to have that feeling again. 

Had to zip off right after the run so I didn't have time to cool down/stretch out properly.  I felt it later that day

Avg pace: 10:11. We had great paces the first few miles, and gradually slowed down.  The last couple we went considerably slower...it's the first time my friend has run more than 15 miles, so it was a challenge.  But how neat to be with her to experience the new higher mileage mark!

The route her husband pick out for us was great.  Half of it was totally new country livin' roads.  There were quite a few times I looked out and saw the farm houses in the middle of the fields surrounded by big flowering trees, and I wanted to capture the moment to keep forever.  It will be one of those visual images I look back on and remember fondly. 

I hear he's already got a new route planned for us.  It will be another adventure to love :-)

No stray barnyard animals, ditches, or torqued bike mounts & luggage racks.  Mr. stayed home for much needed sleep.  We missed him :-(
