3x2 miles @8.0 (7:30)  didn't warm up or cool down - just wanted to finish!  I had to jump to the side a couple of times on that last set.

Pace average apron. 9.38 from total time including all stops and breaks. Ran 5 mile franklin loop. repeated hill 2 times.  stopped at home for water, bathroom, check the laundry and email for a couple minutes.  ran 8 mile kirkway loop.  lots of hills!  finished up with 1 more mile in the neighborhood.  (I think one reason running a race is easier and pace is faster for me than training is because I don't have to multitask.  I can just relax and run and not worry about laundry).

My iPhone is becoming my new running partner.  I use the Nike App.  It's nice having Lance Armstrong and others cheering me on periodically.  It's only limitation is that it's distance is not very accurate when I talk on the phone.  It stops the distance while the clock keeps ticking.  I'm ok with that though because I already know the distance of most of my runs.   I also use my phone to make phone calls while running, listen to books on tape.  I haven't loaded it with music yet.  (probably b/c I lost 11 Gigs of music with my computer upgrade- arghh).  

Two nights ago I was multi tasking with the iPhone while Cheryl coached me on making her homemade MacN Cheese.  I screamed as I watched my phone slip into the boiling cheese sauce.  I spent the rest of the night carefully cleaning out the headphone hole with a safety pin and running a hair dryer over the device.  The sound only worked in speaker mode and if I tilted it a certain way and spoke loudly into the mic.  I thought I was going to have to go to the Apple store again!  The next morning, MIRACLE of MIRACLES, the phone and all apps worked!  Someone is watching out for me. :)

I write all this because I was really grateful for my iPhone running partner today.  I was also so grateful that I could be outside!  This winter has been mild and so different from the past three.  I can actually crawl out of the dungeon on a winter day and run in fresh air.  I love that I live in a beautiful place!  The lakes, dirt roads, interesting homes, trees, rolling hills, birds, fill me with joy!
