I seem to be on a new time schedule for running since the Christmas break.  I still have to run before work at 430am and I work the next two days but on my days off  I am waiting until after all my kids have left for school to run (9:15am) and today I first cleaned toilets (joy) and paid  bills (more joy).  I was excited to get out in the sunshine but for some reason I was frozen before leaving that it took over a mile for me to warm up.  Unusual since it already was 38 degrees at 1040am!!  Ran up into Highland and thru West Park Road to Lone Peak High School.  I wore my Altras which I am loving!!  my feet are in love!!  flat!!  I feel like I am as light as a feather.  My legs lift up with ease that I am wonder if this is good or not?   I honestly feel like I am out of the movie Tron or something.  OR that I belong in Disneyland in Tomorrowland.  The Altras look SPACEMOUNTAIN-ish.  Light blue and silver.  Kind of cool.    This was an easy pace day run and I was surprised that this entire run felt so easy even the last mile at 7:13.  AP for 12 miles = 7:59.   Walked home 1/2 mile.  I am determined to stick with the plan.  12 miles and  that's all.  : D.    Oh and 50 pushups-- 15, 12, 10, 13.  Stretching of hips and legs.

I was debating maybe meeting you and Rachelle on Saturday, but was a bit worried about speed. I need a slow run this weekend. SUPER SLOW, and you tow are just not capable of that!!!! Then i just saw who was joining you for the run and I have been down that road before. no tempo run for me this weekend!!! you guys have fun!

Nice job today. Love the push ups. I need to officially start the challenge, but I am waiting. Not sure what I am waiting for, but I am waiting.

i had a GREAT timing running with them a few weeks ago (well, "with" is not exactly right, behind is more like it!) I just do not have it in me this week. My legs are really tired for some reason. ;o)

We have a funeral to go to Saturday, I need to fins out what time it is at. I will see what i can do.
