I was physically and emotionally drained this morning, so I didn't get out and run then. Tom was great and stayed in with me. Our sweet little girl who just got over a nasty ear infection now has the stomach flu. So I was up with her and home all day with her. When the other kids got home I decided to head out and get a few miles in. I wasn't quite sure how many that would be. I planned to do my 6 forty five second striders after a few miles of warm up. With the nice sunshine out there it didn't take long to warm up! I'm not use to that warm of a run. I'm not sure what the temp was. I know I need to keep hydrated better now! In the cooler weather I ran up to 14 miles at a time without water. I did my striders. I was suppose to do them at about a 7:30 pace. I had a hard time finding that pace. I usually ended up going a bit too fast. I got to my house at 5 3/4 miles and really wanted to stop and come in and get a drink. But I know that the block right by my house is exactly 1/4 of a mile, so I ran around it so I could end up with 6 for the day. I am very satisfied to have been able to get this run in today when I wasn't sure if even 2 was going to work out! Again, having the bloggers to report to and a very supportive family I was able to do it! Thanks everyone! Just for my information, I just checked the temperature. It looks like it is 63 degrees.
