okay it was a good thing I didn't run yesterday.  My right ankle has been bugging me a lot.  It was quite painful all day at work walking around.   My right eye has also been red and swollen in the lower eyelid.  I realized it was from painting last weekend.  I awoke Sunday to a very painful eye.  Finally after compresses etc.... I had Troy go out and buy me some antihistamine eye drops.   I think I must have wiped my eye with the stain or mineral spirits (that removes stain) and had a contact dermatitis reaction in my eye.   OUCH!!  The drops have been helping. The swelling is down and the pain is cut in half.  The redness is still there. I am hopeful only one more day of this!!   I took cherry juice concentrate last night-- and got a nice dose of melatonin!!!  I could barely get up after 7.5 hours of sleep at 515am to leave by 530am to meet Kim, Jane and Shandi.   As I took off in a slow trot I was worried I might not wake up at all.   My legs were sound asleep!!  I ran about a 8:40 first mile.  I didn't have my watch in pace mode as usual but I recall where the 1/2 mile is and I was there at 4:20.   I was running uphill at a snails pace towards Kim's.  I almost made it to Kim's (they were late leaving) so I got in extra mileage.     We ran up to the canal AGAIN.   THE WIND WAS FEROCIOUS but COOL not FREEZING!!  We could barely hear each other talk so we had to try and talk LOUDER!!  Jane is doing quite well at 12 weeks pregnant.  She stayed with Kim and I the whole time.  I am sure our last two miles were about 6:45 pace to 6:55.   With my slow first mile it averaged out to be a nice 7:30 even.  Two brief stops.  7:30 pace is much easier for me to chat through :D.   I am sure I am also just getting used to the quicker pace.  Soon 7:00 average will feel easy right??? hee hee hee.  That was a joke!!!!!!  Surprised I went as far as  I did.  Ooops.  Thought I was just over 10 miles.   Friends make any run so much nicer!!!
