Beautiful run before Rob left to play golf.  43 degrees, heated up fast though, almost 50 by the time I got home.  8.17 pace.  Upperweights also!  Going to the Phoeniz zoo tonight to see all the Christmas lights.  Huge zoo so this will be a great walk for all of us!

I am SO STIFF today from doing lower weights yesterday, I almost always do upper weights and figure my legs get enough work-out with running.  Today I power walked about 2 miles after hitting a bucket of balls with my family.  I then did upper weights after stretching my poor legs!

8.35 pace today probably because my legs still really hurt from doing lunges the other day and I think I'm coming down with a bug that my daughter has (sore throat, feverish).

Walked in foothhills this evening with friend Eileen - 3.75 miles - It felt good to stretch out my legs some more!

8.5 Pace!  If I decide to to the PF Chang 1/2 this Sunday, and keep this pace (which included some tough grades that the PF course does not have), I should beat my time by 6 minutes...  still under the weather so I'm going to give myself until Friday to decide.

Fun Race - a little sore this evening as I had already ran 10 miles this week as a late training before deciding to run in the race!  I'll be more prepared next year...  I did however beat my 1:59:05 time from last year which was my goal, so overall very happy with the whole experience.

Rob is headed to Idaho tomorrow so I'll have to take the kids out for a bike ride or two this week so I can stretch my legs until he returns.  Thanks to everyone for your support, especially you Jeff!

My calves feel unbelivably better today!  I'm unable to run this week as Rob is in Idaho and I'm off to Tucson to take care of my two little nieces!

8.14 pace, great run!  57 degrees, ran around fountain then up to Golden Eagle Park to watch Remi in his baseball clinic and both kids in their tennis lesson, then ran back home!  It's great to be running again, calves are feeling it a little but not too bad!

Upper weights!
