Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Soon I'll have to start getting out before getting the kids off to school.  It's getting a little warm out there!  That is NOT a complaint!  LOVIN' the weather!  Everything looks so pretty right now and it just feels good!  But it is a bit warm to run in and I had a very red face that is not at all atractive when I was done. 

I just have to say, I have a great hubby!  He is doing so well with his attitude while he is down for a bit!  He is my greatest cheerleader even though I'm sure it's so hard for him to sit back and listen to my running stories when he would like to be out there making running stories of his own!  Thanks Tommy!  <3

Oops!  Kicked a little dog that was right at my feet today.  I don't think the little dog liked it so much.  I didn't really mean to kick it, but it's hard not to when they are  right at your feet like that.  Thing is, those two dogs are out chasing every time I go past there!  I haven't ran that route for a while but they were still there!  Maybe next time they will think twice before chasing after me or other runners.  But I do hope the little guy is ok.

The rain was pouring down while I was getting ready to go out for this run.  I tried to have Tom give me some sympathy and an OK to not go out, but he had nothing of that nonsence!  So out I went.  It was raining, but not pouring when I went out.  I wasn't sure if I would get the planned workout in or not, but I was giving it a shot.  The rain actually turned to a gentle mist and then sun.  Which made it a little muggy but I made it through.

1 mile warm up: 9:31

 3 @ HM to 10K pace: 8:18, 8:16, 8:10

4 minute jog/rest: 10:00

1 mile @ 5K pace: 7:44 (with the rest of the workout and the warm/muggy, I barely made it to the end of that one.  Would not have been able to hold that for 5K).

1.6 mile cool down

Thanks for kicking me out the door Tom!  :-)

Mostly ran with cute Jamie today!  Thanks Jamie!  Nice conversation, nice run, nice weather and a very nice girl.  Still sad to leave my ailing hubby home while he is recovering.  He is being very smart and very nice.  Can't believe how well he is handling things!  It will be nice for him to start some cross training soon though. 

Provo half marathon next Saturday.  It is my first half since August or so.  It will be interesting to see how it goes.  I'm not making any big goals for now, just want to see where I am at this point.
