Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Ran with Paula today. The first 2.25 miles were up hill and then we have a small flat section and then come back down.  I felt really good again which is giving me hope.   I have noticed though that it takes me quite a while to warm up and my first mile is always extremely slow.  Today it was around 11 min. 

I have to complain for just a minute about the weather.  I am very glad that there was no wind today, but it is April 21 and I am still dressing for winter!!  Where is spring?  I am becoming really frustrated with the lack of spring!

Happy Running! 

Ran the first 2.6 with Paula and Jolynn.  Jolynn lives in our neighborhood and just beginning to run.  We had a good time and hopefully she will join us again.  Paula and I then finished with another 2.5 to make it just over 5 total for the day.  We were very slow today so I am not even thinking about the pace.  My leg is sore from yesterdays run so I think a day of rest is in order.  

Happy Running! 

Running in the rain today.  2.25 with Paula and Jolynn - we are a very slow group.  Another 2.75 with Paula.  My leg felt okay today.....better than Tuesday.  

Happy Running! 

Ran with Paula again this morning.  We did a fairly easy route - 1.5 miles up hill to start and the down hill and flat the rest of the way.  The last 1.5 was into the wind so we worked a little.  I felt really good and can see that even though it is going slow, I am coming back.   I feel really good at being at 21 miles for the week. 

Next week I would like to work to the 23 -25 range and increase one run to 7 miles.  I also need to be better about cross training on the non running days.  I was going to do that this week but failed.
