Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

7 miles with my cute little Valentine!  1:05:06  (9:18 overall pace)

Did 6 x  45 second hill runs. 

Enjoyed a nice run with my friend the sun today.  Ave. pace 9:20.

I'm going to try out the blog again for awhile.  I miss writting down my observations and feelings like I use to do.  I have been logging my miles either here or on another site, but I haven't been writting feelings and observations which, in my book, are more important than keeping track of the miles.

One of those weeks where you visit the poor, the sick, the imprisioned, etc....Today was a hard day to fit the run in, but I finally got it.  Luckily I didn't need to go long today.  Overall time for 4.3 miles 38:12.  Overall pace 8:53.  The last mile before the .30 cool down was 7:54.  I'll take tomorrow off and run a bit on Friday and then see what my 5 mile Dam 2 Dam race on Saturday turns out like.  I want to be under 45.  Hopefully closer to 43, but we'll see. 

Second in age for Tom and for me!  Yeah! 

I knew I could do 45. 

I thought I could do 43. 

I DID do 41:35. 

I kind of like this run.  It's fun to run around the res like that. 

It was also fun to have my parents and our two daughters at the finish line cheering us on, even though they were pretty darn cold waiting

I just wanted to come in and add my splits.

mile 1: 8:19 dirt road

mile 2: 8:15 dirt road

mile 3: 8:27 uphill, asphalt and into the wind

mile 4: 8:22 still uphill, asphalt and into the wind
