making a comeback!

Mondays seem to always be hard. I worked last night so didn't get out tillaround 1:30. I'll finish the rest of miles with Callzee tonight to make 5. We've only been doing one, but I'm ready to push her to 1.5, I hope she agrees.

Tonight Callzee and I did do 1.5. We went shortly after going to Wingers to celebrate a birthday, and she had a bit of a stuffy nose, so she pretty much had a sideache the majority of the time. I was pretty proud of her since before we went she said she didn't think she felt up to going!

I don't know what it is about running in the dark, or maybe it was the perfect temp. out tonight but the runs in the dark seem mentally easier. I really can't see the hills ect. so I don't tell myself that I have a hard part to go! But it seemed just about as good as it gets tonight!

My husband had to leave for meetings at 6:00 this morning so I got up and ran with him at 4:30! I must have been really desperate for a running partner to get up at that hour!!! But now I'm done till tonight and it's only 6:00 in the morning, I like that feeling a lot! We didn't get to bed untill around 11:30 and I didn't sleep great so I feel a nap coming on later.

I'm starting with a pain in the left arch of my foot, I really don't notice it when I'm running but when I get home about 20 mins later and then mildly through the day. It's not bad but I don't want it to become something that's a problem. Anyone have any knowledge about that?

Tonight Callzee didn't feel to much like running, stuffy nose and keeps getting side aches, but she at least got out!

So my husband was gone last night and he's not to keen on me running at 5:30 in the moring alone, and for some reason 5:30 seemed easier than 8:00 am, weird I know. It just seems colder around 7:30-8:00 than then, but anyways.... I put it off untill 10:00 waiting for it to warm up a bit more. I think I traded the warmth for the chilling wind! I know I complain of the wind a lot but it is a windy little village here. So I pushed through it, when the wind was at my back once for a short stretch, it felt like I was flying. When it stopped for a time I felt like I was at least 15 ponds lighter. But I fought it up plenty of up hill portions of the run too. Then when I was done I thanked the wind for a nice workout, went home and took a shower and went to lunch with my daughter at my favorite naughty pizza place for cheese sticks and salad and enjoyed every minute of it!!! To top it all of I went shopping after that to Christensen's ( the only department, clothing store in town) and bought a new pair of pants! So far it's been a pretty good day. Now I need to get to work and make goodies for homemaking tonight before the girls come home and it's off to violin and piano lessons.

Well it was a little cold and Callzee didn't want to run outside tonight so we took turns doing half miles on the treadmill. I did 2 halfs each in 4:05 mins. I don't think I could do that on the track, but sometime soon I'm going to try. Well Callzee sweet child of mine has succesfully given me her GOMBU...a.k.a cold! I'm taking vit. c like candy, zicam, and airborn too. I'd like it as short and sweet as possible anyother suggestions?

Kinda been fighting off a cold so last night I took a fix your cold sleep pill. It didn't really help all that much and when I headed out to run I felt the effects of the poor nights sleep and cold. Just felt a little discombobulated (sp?) through the first half of the run. Tryed to speed up a bit because I felt like I was barely crawling, but the message felt like it wouldn't get to my legs... O well from there I decided I was just in it for the miles. About the last 2 miles things started to feel a little better, that may have had to do with some down hill and level running more than anything. Averaged 10:00 pace seemed slower than that.

Added another .77 with Callzee tonight. We keep having to go right after dinner and that gives her a sideache, after tonight things should settle a bit and allow us to change that, nnedless to say we had to cut it a little short tonight.

I couldn't stand to see a goose egg on my day so I did a short little run. Once I got out it felt o.k. but I had to cut it short to get home for something that came up at the last minute. It was 70 degrees out and it felt great! Some small wind gust that actually helped to cool me off, I actually was a little warm. (I think I might have a low grade temp. though) Even though I didn't feel good it was nice to get out. We'll see what I think in the morning when the cold front has come in. I was really hoping for a long run tomorrow but I'll be happy with 3 or more.

Callzee is starting to cough quite a bit so she decided to sit out tonight and I thought that was a good idea too.

Decided to get out and finish the week off right. I thought I was doing 6 but it turned out to be only 5.5 but I still finished the week with 30 miles so I met my goal. Now I'm hoping to be feeling better by Monday and get back on track. Although Wed. we are headed out of town to go on a family vacation so the next two weeks may suffer a bit. Have a great rest of the weekeknd everyone!!!
