Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

My running buddy didn't run with me all last week and she wasn't there again today.  Not sure what is going to happen there.  Oh well, I got 5 miles in on my own and that feels like a huge accomplishment for me!  I haven't ran 5 in about a year and a half.  I let a knee injury take me from running 16 miles to zippo!  It has taken awhile to get back into the groove.  I'll go ahead and give my split times even though to most of  you it seems very slow.

I have to say that most of it was enjoyable.  The last .25-.30 seemed worse than the whole first 4:75!  I was happy to see the garmin hit that 5 mile mark.  It's amazing how much I thought of all of you while I was out there!  It really is encouraging to know you have a support group out there!

I have never been more than a 3 day a week runner, but thought I'd try to get 4-5 days in from now on.   Four will be my goal, 5-6 will be icing on the cake, (but I won't eat it, just enjoy that I did it!)  It's my fitness level that needs to improve.  My legs do fine, but I do a good huff'n and puff'n that some of you have mentioned you have ran by in races before.  Maybe I'll start the "Choo, choo" along with the huff'n and puff'n! 

Two today without the partner again.  She says she'll be there tomorrow , but she hasn't done anything for a week and a half so I'm not sure how it will go. 

Running partner was there this morning.  I wasn't sure how much she would be able to do.  She actally did better than I thought she would.  We got 4 in in 54:54.  Slow, but steady.  It was actually fun because I wasn't huffin' and puffin' and choo chooin'! 

I am going to simplify for awhile.  I will just be submitting basic information for my records.

Ran with Rui, (my dog).
