Mixed feelings about today's run.  

 The Good:

1.  I ran with Marcie which is always great!  She is so sweet to run with me, the slow whiny girl.

2.  I ran in shorts and a T-Shirt for the first time since the marathon.

3.  I had 5 fast miles which were all 8:00 or under - YEAH!

The Bad:

1.  We had planned on two 5k's but I was beat after one and new that doing another was not a good idea with a long run tomorrow, so I told Marcie I needed easy miles for the rest.

2.  I tired out sooner that I expected, especially because I did not run yesterday. So instead of 12 miles I ended with 10.

3.  I thought that I could get the other 2 in with Jake but when I got back to my mom's he did not want to run and my husband was going golfing so that was the end my running this morning.:(

I am very happy with my overall pace of 8:15, but so disapointed with my shape and the fact that I quit. UGH!  

Happy Running!

Jody you did AWESOME! And you pushed yourself so hard! Dont worry about miles because you got a QUALITY workout today. I think quality far exceeds quanity. So dont stress about that. You rocked today and I probably shouldnt have added on, it was stupid of me actually!

You ran 10 miles!!!!!! That is great!!! How many people can actually run 10 miles that fast? Not many! Great Job!!

That is awesome!!!! Be so proud of those times. We will no longer be twinner runners---I am getting slower (dang treadmill has gotten me used to easy paces), not faster. Oh well, I am happy for all of my speedy friends.
