Another lovely run with Leandrea in Atlanta.  I love the weather here!  We ran all over the place, trying to track down a specific energy drink for her husband (random!).  But it was great.  4 miles of running, probably almost 5 including the walking, but I'll round down. 

Splits: 9:04, 8:43, 9:42, 9:31

I don't want to leave!

Still on Atlanta time and loving it!  So I woke up at 5am naturally and decided to go for a run on the treadmill, still getting to work before 7:30!  Wish I could do this so cheerfully every day.  It felt great.

10:54 miles until the last .75 or so, which was at 10:00 pace.

I love Veteran's day!  And the day off I got!  :-)  Got so much homework and chores done, and got a run in in the first sunshiney day we've had in a lonnngggg time.  

Splits: 9:46, 9:47, 9:59

Feeling all shin-splinty today.  Its weird how that randomly happens when I've been running so consistently.

Still a tiny bit on East Coast time (hooray) so was able to get up and do 3 miles on the treadmill before work.  10:54 (5.5) pace.  My legs are so sore from lunges and raking and picking up about 10,000 leaves yesterday.

The longest I've run since April 5!  And I honestly think my ankle might be healed! (knock on wood)  My ankle hasn't been bothering me the last 3 runs (except for the huge cut right by my break which is now a huge scab), and when I rub my ankle it know longer hurts (which I considered evidence that the fracture was still a little bit there).  Hip Hip Hooray!  So my comeback race was going to be a 5k on December 12... but now I'm thinking maybe it will be the 10k?  :-)

Ran with Anya and Lisa today at Game Farm, man it was cooolddd.  Winter is here, this morning the first frost is out on the grass. 

Splits: 10:05, 9:45, 9:52, 9:51, 9:55, 10:03(.6)

It's funny because I forgot to turn my Garmin off so it says I also did a mile in 2:20!

Ran 2 miles around the neighborhood with Cooper.  Whoops, that's 5 days in a row and I'm supposed to run with the ladies tomorrow.  I'm bad!  Next week I'll do better giving myself breaks, I'm going to try and make an effort to do my yoga video at least 3 times a week so that can take the place of some runs as a workout.
