I ran with Renee again today.  She is training for a 5k and so I paced her through a fartlek type work out.  She finished with 4 miles and then I added on the rest.  My last 1.25 were sub 8  - YEAH!  Even though they were aided, I was quite happy.

Ran with the BBK today.  My legs were very tired from yesterday so I struggled keeping up.  I am so tired today.  I made the mistake of having an short nap yesterday which I think affected my sleep last night, so today  NO nap :(

PM:  After a day spent preparing next years budgets, calendars and phone calls, my 11 year old decided my day had not been bad enough and she needed to add to it.  Apparently I am a mean, horrible mom because I limit snacking and no playing until after homework and jobs are done.  Oh the drama, Oh the tears!  I had enough and went AWOL for 3 fast miles.  It was so nice being outside  in the crisp fall air.  I decided I should do this more often, especially because I went super fast (for me) 8:00, 7:41, 7:40!

Easy run with Paula and Renee. It was cold today and I did not dress warm enough.  Unfortunately there will be many more mornings like this.  My legs felt pretty good after yesterday's two runs which is a good sign.

I ran with the BBK group today.  As always a great group of people to run with and a lot of fun!  We had a nice quick pace today which makes it even better. 

I have Stake Leadership tonight and will be so glad when it is over........Luckily I just get to talk about the new nursery manuel, nothing to hard but I would much rather talk to kids than adults.  I will be so happy when it is over!

Four cold miles this morning with Paula and Renee.  I was really tired when I got up and almost didn't go but decided the guilt was not worth 1 more hour of sleep.  I am going to go make up that lost hour now.

Happy Running!

Ran with Julie, Angela and Michelle N. this morning and it was so WINDY! Whenever we headed south on the trail we had a very strong headwind. My ankle started hurting with about 2 miles to go, but now it is fine ... not to worry about I guess.  It was, as usual, a very good run. They make the time fly by and are a great group to run with.

I have had some garmin issues this week. I forgot it Tuesday morning morning and then this morning it was dead......I need to be better prepared.

I came home and my husband suggested sitting in the pool instead of having an ice bath because the water would be about the same temperature. Only problem is that it is cold outside! It wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be when I started out but if it gets much colder I will be back in my tub.
