Ran the Green River loop with the ladies.  We ran almost the whole time today, so at least 4 miles (I believe its a 4.2 mile loop from last time, I forgot to bring my Garmin). 

I ran 5 days this week instead of 4, whoops, I am bad.  I just couldn't resist!  Plus I'm really trying to lose a few pounds.  Next week I will try and only run 4 days, though I feel fine so I think it's probably okay to start to hedge towards 5 days a week?  This week I would love to get a 4.5 or 5 mile run if I felt up to. 

Weekly miles: 17.2 running miles (met my goal! But it was with 5 days. But without today (4 days) it would still have been 13, so it still counts!

3 miles running with Cooper outside, my shins were killing me the whole time, which was really weird.  I do not like that!  And it was COLD, I miss summer.

Splits: 9:55, 10:03, 10:24.  

Hopefully I'll get some more walking in tonight after class.

I love Halloween!  Pretty much my favorite holiday :-)  So I got up early and took Cooper for a run down to the dog park, it was raining on the way down, ugh, so there were zero dogs there, so we ran around the trail a little bit and by the time we came back there were 5 or so for him to play with, including this adorable yellow lab puppy I wanted to steal. :-) 

My Garmin was acting up again, I think maybe I just need to hook it up to the computer?  I haven't done that since March probably.  So I'm just guessing it was about 3.5 miles. 

Off to be part of a barbershop quartet!
