I never did find a good time to go run yesterday. My baby is sick and I ended up having to take him in and get breathing treatments.  It is just one thing right after another.

So today I swore no matter what I would get out and run. I went to a babtizm. And because Tallon was sick and coughing all night I hardly slept. The doctor says it usually hits the hardest around 2:00am so I stayed up with him until then to make sure he could breath.

When I got home from the babtize I wanted to go take a nap but I told my husband if I didn't run now I wouldn't so I told him to drive me and my dog up the Alpine highway and leave me there so I had no choice. I told him 5 miles but the next place to pull off was way farther up and he was not liking me running out side because he still has that horriable death on his mind.

It was good. I was able to breath alot better than I thought I would seeing as I have a horriable cold. I did feel good when My poor dog kept wanting to lay down. I told Matt it is pretty sad that I am in better shape than my lab.

I finished in exactly 60 minutes. I think I would have done alot better if it were not for my dog. I even ended up giving my water to her instead of myself me cause she was foaming at the mouth.  (that required me to stop and open her mouth and pore the water in that way.)

I also thought I needed to clear my mind so I ran with out music today and it was very good for me.
