The plan for this week is 5 miles a day with a 10 miler on Saturday.  This last week felt great and hopefully this week will too!

Have a GREAT week everyone!!!

Slow day.  The air felt so "soft" outside.  It was a really nice and slow day.  It is snowing right now as I am writing this.  Snow, snow, go away, come again... IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!

COLD!!!!

Can you say cold!  Burr!!!  It was an icy 24 degrees this morning!  I felt a little sick for the first mile but then was OK.  The first mile and a quarter the roads were totally clear.  The rest was layered in thin icy snow.  It was ok to run on.  No spills!

Have a WONDERFUL day!  I wonder if I will ever go back to loving the snow?

Today's run was harder than last weeks.  Kim came today :)  It was sad not to be able to chat, but it really kicked our bums and WE ROCK!!!  My legs started to get pooped at the end.  They did not go completely race dead, but they were on their way.  I wanted to stop the WHOLE time, but it wasn't totally overwhelming feeling of "I must stop or I'll DIE" feeling.  The temp was 24 degrees and I ended up taking off my sweatshirt.  I could not run with the gater over my mouth.  It felt too suffocating.

Have a GREAT day!!!  XOXOXOXOX!!!

I'm AWESOME!!! ;)

What do you do when you wake up at 4:30 am and can't go back to sleep?  Well, you lay there for a while until it is perfectly clear that there will be no more sleeping.  Then you think, "Hey, I know I have a run planned with Kim at 8am, but heck- I think I'll just do it now."  So you lay there for 15 more minutes, until you finally are committed to the idea and are off and running by 5:30am.

Ok- the moon was out and it was BEAUTIFUL this morning.  The moon actually set over West Mountain on my way home, but the run up the canyon was WONDERFUL.  The run felt GREAT, I am sure by comparison of yesterdays run ;)

So now I have an extra few hours today, so I think I will scrub the downstairs bathroom floor.  It is DISCUSTING!!!  Fun times for me!!!

XOXOXOXOXO

Happy Birthday Kim!!!!

(http://kimrobison.fastrunningblog.com)  For Kim's 39th birthday we ran ten miles and then went to One Man Band for breakfast!  We decided that it was the PERFECT way to celebrate a birthday!

The run was a bit tiring toward the end, but felt pretty good throughout.  I am really loving having my house be at the middle portion of the long runs.  I can run in, have a potty break and get my drinks for the second half, if needed.  It really helps to make the run seem less strenuous with having 2 shorter routes make up my longer run! 

I am going to get back to Dr. Brady to work on my neuromas starting next week.  I would love for them to not be so beastly for Painters.  I am going to see him every week for a while to make sure I don't get injured while I am bumping my mileage.  I am going to have him work my calves and hips too.

Heidi ho!  I wanted a nice slow run this morning and darn it if I didn't come through!  My legs are a bit pooped from the 35 miles this week.  YES, this is my highest mile week EVER!!  I am thinking I will just stick with 5 miles a day until Painters with a 1 mile increase on the long run each week.  I don't want to burn out or worse, get injured, so no mileage increases until after Painters.   Well, baby increases like next week I will run 36 then 37 then 38, etc.  So just little increases!

The moon ran with me this morning!  He was all cute and shy behind the thin layer of clouds!  It was 48 degrees!  Holy cow!!  I almost missed my run.  I kept dreaming that I was out running only to find that I was NOT running!  I was late for work :(   I even had to come home early from work.  I have the most killer headache.  It is different than my migraines.  I think it is the sinus infection returning.  I stopped and bought some decongestants on the way home and I am hoping that will take care of it!

I have some serious parties to get ready for.  Hopefully my brain will give up and QUIT hurting me.  I have never left work sick before.  This headach is diffrent that my migraines.  The migranes are a solid pain through my brain, constant.  I can ignore them.  This one is like a little pairing knife stabbing me between my eyes.  It is pulsing too.  It will lay off and then WHAMI!!!  Consentrating is really hard!
