Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Oh boy!  I am sore from the race this weekend.   Much sorer than I expected, but it does susbstantiate the effort.  Interesting the difference time of day makes.  If I run in the evening I usually do not need as much time to warm up and get going compared to mornings, but running at midnight is a whole other beast.   

7 easy miles with Jenny, only thing of interest where two dead snakes along the way - about a mile apart from each other.   Tis the season, I guess.

I am in the midst of non-stop travel.  Last week kicked it off and I now have 5 cities in 7 business days.  I am sitting here in Louisville at the airport at 5:00 am after a client meeting that went late into the evening yesterday.  Running? Maybe tomorrow.  I am on countdown to July 25.

A very long week in three time zones, early flights and late nights.   I missed running, but the time off helped in the recovery and I was excited to run with the group from the store.  I had a tight time frame so the plan was an out and back for 1:15 each.   I met Ashley, Lindsay and Melissa and we picked up Britt at about 1.5 miles in - she and I had on matching shirts today, which made for a conversation piece with lots of people on the trail.   Lindsay had taken off with the guys and and Ashley and Melissa fell back a little so it was just Britt and I and we had a great time chatting.   I wore a fuel belt for the first time in two years and it was heavy and bothered my calves quite a bit.  Nice to have water, but they are not happy today.   Britt dropped me back at right at 8:30 - very nice when this happens and a full day of baby showers and ball games.    I forgot my garmin so mileage and avg pace are approximates - close but not exact. 

Avg Pace 8:15
