Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Six recovery miles on my own today.  Paula wasn't feeling well,  my ipod was dead and could not find my watch so I was really on my own.  I felt like I had a pretty good pace for a recovery run.  I had planned on 7 miles, but wasted too much time looking for my watch.  I had then decided I would have time for 6.5 and ended up running into a long lost friend and then was down to just enough time for 6 so that I could get home to  see my son off to his first day of school.    I ended up with time to spare, but would have been so angry at myself if I had missed him.

 Happy Running!

 

Paula and I met up with the BBK group today.  We ran 3 warm up miles and then separated into track workout or road workout.  My legs are still not 100% so I opted for the road workout.  We did 5 miles and I felt like the effort was close to marathon pace (8:20) than what it was.  We ended up back at the track and watched everyone finish up - they were movin' today!   When I got home and my kids ready, I walked them up to the school and then ran .75 home pushing my 4 yr old in a non-running stroller.  That was probably the toughest part of the day.

I have been in Dallas for two days and got home tonight. I had planned on running while I was there, but I have not been that tired in a very long time, last weekend had caught up with me. I ended up missing my Wednesday morning run and had planned on running that night, but I was invited to a work dinner, so I missed again. I still had planned on going this morning but again was completely exhausted and had a headache. I finally got out tonight with Paula for 5 miles. They felt really good and I thought about doing more, but 5:45 am comes really early so I will do more miles then.

Ran an easy 5 with Paula and Renee. It was really cold this morning and I am not ready for it to get colder! What happened to summer? Nice to be home, but way to much work to do.

Another mile running home after dropping the kids off at school.  If my daughter wasn't 4 and almost to big for a jogger stroller, I would seriously consider buying one.  I keep thinking mine might fall apart at any moment.

I met up with Cheris, Peggy, Michelle, Angela, Dean, Chris and Whitney for our 20 mile run. This one felt tougher than the one two weeks ago. We did pretty much the same route with a little variation. Angela was great to listen to and dispense her wisdom on eating healthy and healthy lifestyles in general. My body held up better this week and that is always a good thing. We ended up with a few walking breaks and I gave in to one at the end with Peggy and Angela that I am a little disappointed in myself for when they were still going. I never stopped my watch so my pace includes a bathroom break, walking for gu's and a couple other 30 sec walks, I would think if we took the breaks out it would be more near 8:45 but we ended with 9:15. The count down to marathon day is on!
