No running group today as we're tailgaiting and going to the opening Diamond Back game with our church, so Isabelle and I ran early this morning before school.  Also wanted to keep it short because I thought I had two injuries, weird.  My hip and knee did great with this slower pace with Belle so I hope to do a long run with Janet tomorrow :)

Did an awesome, new weight dvd, wowza!

Long run with Janet, a little worried about my ailments but changed my shoes and all seems to be good.  I felt my knee twinge here and there but finished strong and have been fine the rest of the day :)   I'll try to keep it low key until our next long run on Saturday :)

FUN run today!  Up Palisades hill (murderous) to Shea then all the way into Scottsdale.  Was met with water at mile 9, then met with our ride back at Starbucks at mile 12!  First time I've ever run from Ftn. Hills to Scottsdale :) Started at 63 degrees, ended at 75!

Beautiful morning - early run!  8:14 pace!  Had too much fun celebrating Janet for her send off to Boston but had a good run anyway, yay!

Running group in the afternoon.  Forgot to change out of my MBT's - AGAIN!!  The girls ran while I power walked behind them as fast as possible :)

Not a good run today, not sure if I was tired from all of yesterday's Boston news being worried about my friend or what, but I just didn't have any energy!

Early morning power walk in the hills, breezy but a great walk.  Ball of my foot is feeling a little better today, I've been rolling it with a golf ball and stetching the heck out of it.  Hopefully it'll be OK during the kids' run today!

Horrible run today, uggghhh!  Started out in my Kinvara 2's and at almost a mile felt the ball of my foot, so I ran back home, grabbed by Triumphs.  The run was hard, legs felt heavy, ended up doing a trail run on the way back!  Glad that's over!  Upper weights & abs once home!  

Excited to attend Belle's honor society banquet this evening :)
