Well today was the day that I decided that my body and mind needed a PUSH and a SHOVE in the right direction! It's been almost 3 weeks since I've done any kind of longer run and I have had a difficult time making myself do so. Well when I got out it was another beautiful day! I don't think that you could ask for anything better, this weather just screams "get out and run!'' At times it was almost hot (how quickly I forget the true hot days of summer) but once I was into the run about 4 miles my body started to give in and just go the distance. Now that I'm done I'm glad that I got it over with and hope that the rest of the week I will have broken the mental barrier that has been limiting me. Average pace 10:07 for the run.

What a battle! and you won! I've had that feeling a lot lately that the best part of your run is when it's over.

I love the pictures. They are beautiful. I especially liked the sunset on the beach from the other day.

Way to get in a 10K today! And great pace too. I think you're getting back into the groove. Meet w/ trainer tomorrow- I'll let you know if I get any great info!

Hey nurse lady! Great job on your run.

Would you please check out Lulu's blog these last couple of days--she has symptoms that sound scary to me. (I know I know, this is just like when a friend invites over their buddy who is an accountant and then asks them to look at their tax return. But Geez! Check it out.)

Michelle,

Would you email me sometime? I would love to get a little Hawaii info from you. We have some friends who moved over there for a few years and we really ought to go while they are there to give us a place to stay. kimilee826@hotmail.com Thanks, Kim

Great job on getting back out there! It can be hard to get back into a routine after a vacation, etc. Good luck!

Sorry about the mix-up on my blog. I bet that happens a lot with the two of you ladies. Thanks for the encouragement; I am glad to join you. Happy running!

Oh, you're killing me with these great Hawaii pictures!!!! (hee,hee)

A 10K with a 10 min mile! You're doing great! Does this mean that resting while on vacation was helpful for your feet (PF)? I hope so! Cuz it sounds like you're hittin' the road with a fury!

Great job for the 10K! I think you doing great.
