Easy run.

5:17 am, 29°F, 38% humidity, wind 6 S.

It was a pleasant run with music again. It was not quite as wonderful as yesterday, but was a nice run just the same. I like to run to songs that are in 3 because if they're fast enough for me to match my stride to the beat, the 3 beats to the measure cause me to alternate which foot is going down on the down beat. But most songs are in 4. I found this little song that is in 3 and that I enjoyed running to this morning. It's not a terrifically fast tempo, but is good for an easy run.

AP: 9:21. Splits: 9:52, 9:28, 9:35, 9:22, 9:38, 9:17, 9:07, 9:04, 9:13, 8:58.

I bought a new pair of pants and a new shirt yesterday to wear to my work party today (I'm singing in the little company choir, so I'm dressing up a little more than I would otherwise). I bought size 6 pants for the first time in I don't know how long. And I got about half of my hair cut off (the bottom half).

Isn't that awesome?! I know that we women shouldn't put so much stock in numbers, but it does feel good to fit into a smaller size :)

Glad you didn't get the top half cut off. That would look pretty weird.

I'll bet you look really terrific with your slender runner body!

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:21:48 from 207.225.192.66

Way to go!! It's always fun to feel slim and fit. You need to take a picture and post your new haircut!

We will need to exchange info. on where we're staying in Moab! So we can meet up for dinner or something. Are you staying through Sat. It could be fun to do a small hike through arches.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 11:51:37 from 198.241.159.80

Yes Lori, at this point we're planning on staying through Saturday and driving home early Sunday morning. I'll IM you more information.

From Nan Kennard on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 12:29:47 from 174.51.250.151

Yeah! Congrats on the new look. Sounds fun! Your good mood is projecting from my screen and it just made me smile. :)

Carolyn,

Congrats on the down-sizing! Especially this time of year when we all have a tendency to nosh a little more than usual.

Your music has inspired me to get some new tunes on my not-pod. I'd gotten tired of listening to what I had on mine, so I've been listening to the radio. I usually only use one ear-bud or have them partially in/out so I can hear cars & dogs.

Great mileage today!

From Bonnie on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 14:24:45 from 128.196.228.134

Tracy -- you cracked me up!!

Have a great party Carolyn -- I am with Sno, I bet you look fabulous!!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 14:26:52 from 198.241.174.15

Hey everyone! Today is a wonderful day! My friend Michelle, whom I run with on Saturdays and write about often on my blog has joined the blog! I'm so excited! Go check out her blog and welcome her. She is a wonderful person.

Her blog address is http://michellem.fastrunningblog.com.

Way to go - a size 6 is a HUGE deal! I'm jealous!

From RAD on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 16:21:23 from 67.172.229.125

Good work on the 'downsizing' that's usually not a positive word :) Nice miles as usual...I'm very jealous. I've tried the cadence running and I'm not very good at it. I'm off now to welcome Michelle!!

From JD on Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 19:25:50 from 70.96.78.157

Nice ten miler.

I have a bunch of clothes, like flannel shirts and a couple of pairs of pants etc. that are way to big for me now. I look like some gangsta punk when I wear them!

From Aaron Kennard on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 00:54:11 from 174.51.250.151

Nice 10 mile run today!

From auntieem on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 13:06:47 from 67.182.145.8

I'm going to run with tunes today also! I downloaded some Willie Nelson I want to hear.

Congratulations on your new look! I love getting new haircuts.
