I had another "can't get out of bed" morning yesterday, which resulted in no run. I really need to stop doing that. Especially as my mileage begins to climb. As it is, I should be able to hit 55-60 with some longer runs the rest of the week. Of course, catching up mileage is really not the safest thing to do.
I ran a "new route" today. Well, I've run most of it already, just not from my house. I ran 0ut 4800S to State Street, turned on Vine, and ran a loop around to 5300 and back to 4800 S, and then back to my house. I thought it should be about 10 miles. it was 9.96. Who needs a Garmin, anyway? My internal GPS is pretty accurate.

I don't know where the idea that mothers can't be elite athletes ever came from. When I ran St. George Marathon, all of the women in the top ten were moms. Rosy Lee and I were even nursing our babies at the same time before the awards ceremony. (Sorry if that's TMI. I thought it was cool.) Anyway, just a little inspiration for all the moms and future moms out there.
7:12 pace.
