Moving Forward

Ran after work today. It was a bit warm, about 83, but weather forecast says it will drop by about 20 degrees in the next 48 hours. As I was driving home the mountains have a lovely orange/red glow about them. The leaves are changing fast. Sue and I will run the green pond trail this Saturday, I can't wait, it should be beautiful!!

My hip today was bugging for about the first mile or so then it seemed to ease up a bit. But I took it very easy tonight. Even at my easy pace I had some breathing issues though. It was like I could not get a deep breath. All my breathing was in my upper chest. I only saw one of my regulars tonight and I think I will rename him as my stalker regular. He seemed a bit too happy/smiley to see my LOL. Did some light weights and core work back and the gym. The weird guy with the nose ring was there tonight.

6.10 miles - 54: 32

Can't think of anything positive to say about this run. :(

Had a crazy night. I got my run in after work... but then had to hurry home because my sisters were coming over to my house. We try to plan sister dates once a month and either do or go see some fun artsy activity. We were up till after ten LOL... fun times. :)

What a crazy day... When I got to the gym I had not packed my running shoes... so I had to head home and run around the hood. The other thing that was bad was I also could not find my garmin.... I was going crazy!! I had had it on Tuesday when I ran outside, but Weds. was a quick 5 on the treadmill at the gym, because of the sister date. I was certain someone had taken it. I could not sleep at all thinking about it. So I had to go out on map my run.com to see what the miles were for this run. I was real slow and had tummy issues in the middle. 

Continued from yesterday... I took off work today because it's our 29th anniversary!!! 29 years married to a good man :)
I went to the gym to see if I could somehow by a miracle find my lost garmin... I have pretty much torn my house and car apart at this point. No luck, so I ran the parkway a bit... plagued with tummy issues so I cut it short. My husband had told me when I got home he would order me a new garmin for our anniversary. Like I said he is a good man :) But I was really sad and angry that it had been lost or stolen at the gym. Anyway to make my long story come to an end. As I was pulling into my drive way, the girl that works the front desk at work called me. My garmin must have fallen out of my gym bag when I was walking to the car from work!!! I'm so glad it was found!!!

Happy weekend bloggers and to those that are raceing Good Luck!!!

I ran Green Pond loop with Sue this morning. I was chilly at up there... about 35 degrees. But I over dressed and was got too warm about 1 mile into it. The fall colors were glorious up there I love this run!!! It's one of the last runs I did with Scott before he died. Sue and I talked about how much fun that run had been. Today was similar conditions... frost on the leaves when we started. When we got to the maples/icebox canyon intersection we decided to run down into icebox canyon. It's probably been 3-2 years since I have run down there. Again is was absolutely lovely. 

The only down side to the run today was that my breathing is still weird. Like I can't take a deep breath. So it made it difficult to run. Then I had a stabbing pain between my right sholder blade. So bad I had to stop at one point and have Sue try to rub it out while I streatched. It helped a bit. But I'm not going to complain any more. Today was beautiful... the kind of day that reminds me why I'm a runner.
