Here we go again~

Nice New Leaf route this morning with Heidi C.  I love this course!! It's scenic, has some up hill, down hill, flat, etc!!! And, again, it's one of those courses that feels like 4 miles but is much further!! It was such a great morning. I love my Monday Morning runs! Such a great way to start the week.  AP: 8:15 

Little 4 mile Treadmill run this morning. I know 4 miles is nothing to brag about but miles are miles and lately, I haven't been doing much on my "off days" so I was happy that I got up!~ I kept it at a nice 7.0 and took it up to 7.2 for my last mile. I then walked it out for 5 minutes while doing some weights for my arms and then did just a few planks! 

It's time to Amp up the miles this week so I talked the Heidi's into a couple more miles today then we typically do!! It was SO GREAT running with both of them this morning! This summer has really thrown a wrench into our running together so I always appreciate having both of them to run with!! We kind of improvised this morning and ran around until we hit 8 miles!! NICE!  AP 8:21 

So, this morning was an interesting one. I was supposed to meet up early with Heidi C and go 16 miles because I have an early morning  4 wheeling trip planned (with our neighbors) that will prohibit me from running Saturday.  In any event, at 6:10, Tyler woke me up while saying "shoot, did I forget to wake you up".  The alarm clock is on his side of the bed, so I am not sure if I forgot to turn it on, or if we both slept through it or what, but never the less, I didn't get up.  I felt horrible when I saw Heidi had text at 5:10ish wondering if I was coming.  I need to put a clock on my side of the bed, that is too much pressure to put on my cute hubby :).  Anyway, I ended up texting her back (to see if she ended up going) and text Heidi W as well (she mentioned she may come) to see if she had gone with her.  About 2 minutes later, Heidi W text back that she had just woke up also and wanted to go running.  SO.....................Heidi W and I headed out to make the most of the time we had left to run.  We were at about mile 4.25, talking about how diligent Heidi C is and how we would be amazed if she had gone out on a 16 miler all by herself when low and behold..........there she was!!!!  She amazes me!! She was at mile 9 (sniffle, tear) and we were almost to 4.5 so we ran down a little ways and then turned back toward home running together!! I was glad that we got to run the last half together and visit a bit. I know I  have said it a million times, but these girls are the best! I am grateful to have friends to run with!!!  It was a fun morning!!

Bound and determined to get 30 whole miles in the week so I hit 4 on the treadmill.  Hey, they're miles~
