Ran to my daughter's soccer game from the house, by the time I got to the game it was windy and had dropped 15 degrees.  I stood there in the wind, in my damp running attire, literally going hypothermic until another parent/friend offered me a blanket.  My daughter played very aggressive defense.  I'm proud of how tough she is.

Ran a with Cath in the morning.  It was sooooo nice to have friend to get up with--especially since the day is overcast and rainy-ish.  It makes it worth getting up early.  But my knees hurt this morning because of my new 'unconstructed' running shoes... now my hips too after sitting too long at my desk.

Could new (unconstructed) running shoes cause me to be more sore than normal?  My knees and hips are sore like arthritis.    Ran in the a.m. w/ Cath.  I hate/love the rain.  Nice to be cool, not fun to get pelted in the face and feel your tendons shrink.  The overcast sky makes it hard to stay on top of my energy level.  I'm back on Iron again.  Jos said it took a full year to recover from episodes of anemia.  I need to stick with it.

Sticking with Cath's low mileage while her leg heals. It's been such a pleasure to have a friend to run with...in this horrific rain.  I will never get over the Spring of '11..the Spring the rain never ceased.

9:28 ap This low mileage is making me anxious.  I really do think however, that running just 4-6 miles a day is what my body can handle.  I feel great....

Got up early to run into the hills with Cath. She said she wanted to see how far she could run on that healed leg of hers.  I offered to have my husband pick her up at the mid point of the run and drive her home, but she stuck with it and ended up pushing me those last 2 miles home when my hamstring ached so badly and the gel I took made me dry heave a few times.  The lowered mileage from these past few weeks has helped me get through the days, but the long runs are hard when your mid-week mileage doesn't build up your resistance. Unfortunately, this 18 miler is going to have to be my 'long run' for UVM.  I'm not able to do more right now, and it's a pleasure just catching up with Cath and doing our morning 4-5 mile runs together.  I love getting up in the morning, I love having that part of the day to myself and to share with a pal.  It puts the rest of the day in order.  Sadly, the best part of my day is often over by 7:00 a.m.
