53 degrees when I left, 68 when I returned, yikes!  A great run though at a 8:10 pace.

Today I start my running group for young girls 11+, it'll be a fun group during our PE class.

A little sore today from lunges this week and power walk in the hills wearing my MBT's, so my run felt hard but did a good pace at 8:15.  Tomorrow I hope to do 10 miles, my last long run before going to Idaho for most of next week and tapering for the PF Chang 1/2!  

Meeting with my young girls running group today!  2 Miles :)

Short run this morning before heading down to the expo (so fun & motivating).  8:11 pace!  My left hip seems to be tight this morning for some reason so I'll be sure to try to stretch it out a little today, hoping I don't have to run with that tomorrow!!

Three miles with the running group today, they are doing so well walking 2 minutes, running 1.  Some of the girls get a side stitch, but they are working through it!
