Ice, Ice baby.......Today's run was a success because I did not fall. Two close calls but no fall. It was the hardest run I have had in a long time. I felt like I could not get going and when I would get going I had to slow down for ice. The one bright spot of the run was when I got to finish listening to Bon Jovi sing Livin' on a Prayer - it comes pretty dang close to making up for the ice today.

Today kicked my butt!! We head up through the golf course for my favorite run. It is worth all the work for the views but I almost didn't make it today. The first 3.5 miles are uphill and today we had a head wind to contend with as well. It was very SSLLOOWW!! Our splits were 10:02, 9:41, 10:20, 9:05. You then get the views and to run down hill home. Our down hill splits were 8:12, 8:14, 8:12 & 8:33 for the last .5. Even these times were slower that I thought that they would be. Overall a good run with a lot of work & hopefully at somepoint we will see the benefits.

Glad to be back at it today.  I realized yesterday what a disaster I am when I do not run.  I had no focus at work and was pretty depressed the entire day.   Today was nice - a slight breeze and not to cold.  We ran a pretty flat easy course today so I really tried to push myself.  I started not feeling very well the second half and I am wondering if I should be eating before I run.   I haven't been but I am wondering if that is contributing to the icky stomach feeling.

Nice easy run today.  Again the weather was very cooperative, warm with a slight breeze.  I noticed while I was running this morning, that whenever an 80's song would come on my ipod I would pick up the pace without a lot of effort.  I am thinking that I need to make a playlist of all 80's music, the best music ever!

We had a great long run today. Beautiful weather! The only hiccup was that we stopped for water & GU too early. I got back to my house and my ipod read 10.43, so I decided to make it an even 11.

We are off to a busy day - my husband's nephew is playing at ESA today so we are going to watch him play and spend some time with family. Tomorrow is my Libby's birthday and she is turning 7 so we have lots of preparations for a celebration. Happy Birthday Libby!
