Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Beautiful day but maybe not a good idea to have a cinnamon roll with chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting for breakfast before running!  Major stomach issues...didn't get the doggy mile in....that's all I"m sayin'.  

Yesterday's stomach issues stayed with me well into the evening so I was a little nervous about going too far away from my house.  The scare drove me to my treadmill.  I watched Monster House.  I had never seen that one.  I have heard it was strange and now I can agree that it is indeed strange.  

I have a 10 miler planned for tomorrow so I hope the issues will be all gone by then. 

I had to get done while Tom was in meetings so that I could get to a meeting so I had to do my 10 miler alone today.  He had a 10 miler too but his pace was much quicker without me, so I'm sure he enjoyed that.  

I was nervous that it was going to be terrible weather but it was mainly just the wind.  However the storm winds come from the opposite direction than the normal canyon winds so it kind of messes with me when I turn into the wind at a place where it is normally at my back.  

It is kind of strange to me to think that a 10 miler outside on my own was easier than a 4.5 miler yesterday on the TM with a movie on.  

Ave pace for the run was 9:14.  So not a speed-myster, but I am not going for speed today. 

Had some time with my parents this morning.  My dad likes to make bird houses and brought me a new one to enjoy.  Its always fun to get hand made gifts from your parents! After giving my dad a haircut we headed out around noon.  Nice sunshine..nice run...nice company.

My back woke me up a bit earlier than I would have liked and Tom was doing his own thing this morning so I was able to get a couple miles in before I met up with the gang.  My stomach has been a bit bothersome this week so I was happy I had a few miles in and then I could run with the back of the packers and still get my miles in on time. 

Ludlow was on call and had to stay within 2 miles from home so we turned around to back track a few places before getting to the drinks.  I ended up doing my whole run with no drink until I picked up Rui for his doggy mile at mile 13.  A little Gatoraid would have been good in there.

Today we are going up to visit our sweet Brielle on her 4th birthday!  It will be fun to spend some time with the family.
