Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Tom is  helping me with a new approach to marathon training this year.  In the past I have ran 35-45 miles a week but the daily miles were always about the same each day except the long run on Saturday.  This time we are going to have the daily mileage different but still add up to the 35-45 per week.  This way I will have a mini long run in the midweek.  It will be interesting to see how it works out for me. 

Eight quiet morning miles up around the golf course.  Six of them with Tom. 

This morning Tom and I started out together but I was having a problem at the top of my leg that was bugging me.  I wasn't sure if it would loosen up for me very good or not so I wanted to keep it really slow and stay close to home in case I had to call it quits for the day.  After about 1/2 a mile I could tell it was feeling a bit better so I went the opposite way that Tom was going so I could meet up with him again.  I met up with him and then I had to go on my own a bit to get my 6 for the day.

Sad observances of the day.....more shot out windows in the neighborhood!  Lately there have been a bunch in SF and Salem.  I saw 4 cars this morning but my friend just told me that hers was shot out also.  She said the police said there were over 20 in SF last night and 10 in Salem.  Why? 

I wish whenever I wait around all morning to get my run in that I would remember how enjoyable it is to get up and get it out of the way.  The morning sun is always so nice, seeing others out and about is always fun and it is done for the day.  It's been working out well to run with Tom most days.  Kind of convenient when you wake up with your running buddy!  : )

Tom and I wanted to do a different route today, but the wind made us stick with our good old standby.  If we do our regular route it has us going with the wind instead of against it.  It just seems a little nicer and not as abrupt as waking up and running straight into the wind.

Today is the day my girls have been waiting for!  They are in Cinderella and will perform three times today.  Tani is Drizella and Tia is one of the mice.  They are so excited!  I am looking forward to watching them!  Break a leg girls!

Not much to say.
