I had to run it short due to an overwhelming desire to toss my cookies for the whole run :p  I don't think I am sick, it was just early...maybe....

I posted this last thursday, but I think I must have clicked the course tool before I published, but, my right knee has been bothering me when I sit cross legged.  It was  very irritated after thursdays long run.  I didn't run fri and sat and iced it well to give it a rest.  The knee does not bother me when I run or walk, just when I cross my right ankle over my left knee or sit cross legged.  anyhoots, I think it has to do with one of the stretched I have been doing for my hips= the one legged king pigeon.  I am going to skip that this week and see what happens :)

An early run :p  I had an emergency potty stop at the high school :)  Thank heavens it was there ;D 

I think the knee issue is hip related.  I'm working on a more thorough stretching routine.

1:02:28/10:23 Laps-10:38, 9:51, 10:01, 10:01, 9:53,11:54(a bit of walking, Kimmie had a side ache)

Lovely tempo run with KimR :)  There were NO VPB's  :D  The run was perfectly comfortably hard, just as Smooth prescribed :)  Next week I will go for five miles at the 10mm tempo pace.  The goal is still to get to a six mile tempo inside an 8 mile run mid week.  Over the summer I plan to decrease the time to 9:30.  We shall see how it goes :)

Kim is a much faster runner than I am, and she found this run challenging.  It made me feel good that my fitness is not that much behind hers :)  She is my hero!

Nice flat run with Jennie in Salem.  the first two miles were ~10:45.  the third mile was a mystery as I had to remove a pebble from my shoe :(.  The last two miles were ~10:30.  It felt good.  I was REALLY grumpy when I woke up this morning.  The run fixed it :)

The blood and guts of the turtle cake are done :)  So is the skin/shell.  To explain, the blood and guts are a red velvet cake and the skin and shell are 3 batches of fondant.  I'll post the pics tomorrow or Saturday.  The best thing about doing a turtle cake is that if it does not work, we can just call it road kill!

Ford wanted a turtle cake and I think this is not too bad ;)  At about 7:30 this morning I was cursing and getting ready to toss the poor thing out into the road.  The platter that it is on is 18".  This is a very big turtle.  The cake is blood red velvet.  It should be pretty exciting for a 9 year old ;D

2:12:00/11:00 Great run with KimR. The last 2 miles were not my favorite :p My ITB started bugging at 11.5 miles. I am going to stretch some more and then take an ice bath before I lose my nerve. My feet started to bug after about mile 9. We were really glad that the street was not hot ;D
