Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Ran with Paula and Renee this morning.  Took extra long getting ready because it was time to break out the tights, under armour, fleece, gloves, ear warmer and reflecters - I am not ready for this!  We had a slow 3 with Renee and then 3 more at a little bit quicker pace - still in the 9's though.  I can tell I still have a long way to go before I am 100%.  My left hamstring is sooo tight and my right calf is still tender.

Ran with the BBK today, we had a big group show up.  It was so great to see everybody and catch up - a lot happens in a couple of weeks.  No big work out planned, just some good mileage.  I felt great, it has been a rough couple of weeks and I started to wonder if I would ever feel good running again.  So nice to know that it comes back eventually.

Slow easy run with Paula and Renee.  I felt pretty good except for I did not dress warm enough.  

Now I am home from a completely frustrating day at work and really need to run to feel better, but I am waiting for a call from my boss, maybe later.

BBK run this morning.  Not as cold as I was expecting which was nice.  Julie, Angela and I had a pretty good pace going most the time.  It is so nice to be back in the running routine!

Ran the first 4.25 with Renee this morning.  We had a nice time visiting, which caused us to be way to slow.  I dropped her off and then went to add on 3 more.  I felt like I was below MP and close to 10K but when I was done the garmin only showed 1 at 10K and the rest were slower than MP  - Booo!  Not to worry too much, I really was not supposed to do any "speed" work this week.  

 So just a funny thing - I was reading Benn's report and I am SOOO excited for him!!  WAHOO!!  but as I was reading it, my husband called to tell me that his 81 yr old mother just got engaged to her 90 yr old boyfriend - Love is in the air :)

I met Julie, Angela, Michelle N and Cheris at 5:45  this morning, this means getting up at 4:50 - the days of sleeping in are looooong gone.  We ran on the JRP south into the wind - add a some rain and you would have the SGM all over again.  It is alway so much fun to run with these guys.  Julie finished at just over 7 miles and then Angela, Michelle and Cheris turned around just before 8.  I added on until I reached 11 miles.  Once I was on my own, I just enjoyed the run.... Sometimes I get so caught up in miles and pace that I forget how much I just love to run.  Saw three deer and a beautiful sunrise.
