Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Ran the first 2.46 with Paula and Jolynn  at a 10:17 pace.  Jolynn is doing a great job and she and Paula are going to run Race for a Cure in a couple of weeks.

Ran the next 4.15 with Paula and we did the big block.  It is amazing how much better I felt being completely warmed up rather than warming up as we were going up the hill.  I pushed up the hill  really hard today and then tried to keep a good pace the rest of the time.  Our ave pace for the second part of our run was 8:50.  Considering 1/4 of this route is up hill, I feel really good about this pace.  

I am staying home from work today to spend some time with my family before I head to India.  I am hoping we can work in the yard today and get caught up around the house  -  Such big plans and such little time.

Ave Pace: 9:15

Happy Running! 

Ran 2.51 with Jolynn and Paula in the wind.  

Ran 1.60 with Paula in the wind.

Ran 1.64 by myself  in the wind.

I hate running in the wind.  We stayed on mostly and East / West route to avoid as much wind as possible.  The last part by myself had a some headwind as I went south.  My body felt pretty good today.

I had a migrane last night I think due to hydration issues.  I drank the normal amount when I got back from running but then spent 4 hrs outside working in the yard and cleaning up and I did not drink enough to compensate for that.  It was one of the worst I have had in a long time.  I need to remember this as the weather gets warmer.

Happy Running!

Got up to run today and was not very happy about putting on the same clothes I wore in January and February.  Went to meet Paula and Jolynn at 5:45 and Jolynn slept in and Paula sounded horrible.  Sent her home to rest and I went home and went back to bed.  I could not bring myself to run in this winter weather.  It is acceptable in January, February, March and may be a little April, BUT MAY!!! Seriously!  I will have to make up for my lack of running the last two days tomorrow and Saturday.  I WANT SPRING!!!

Happy Running!  BOO WINTER! 

I am finally blogging my run today - 8 hrs later.    

Ran 3.26 with Jolynn, Paula is still sick.  Jolynn did great, it was her longest run with us and today was the fastest pace to date - 9:47.    She did a great job!

Ran 3.14 alone.  I really pushed the pace the entire time for this part.  The ave pace was 8:45- YEAH!  I had some serious GI issues today and was just grateful to make it home today.  My knees and calves were tight so it is a good thing I am seeing Josse today.

Happy Running!

 

Ran 7 today with Paula.  My leg was feeling so much better after being scrapped by Josse.  I felt really good today until the last mile and it was a very long mile.   We took a fairly easy route but ended up into the wind for about half of it.  I am so glad to have two good weeks back to back as I continue on the mend.
