| Ran the same Iron Girl route as I did last week and shaved 5 minutes off my time, ended up pacing at 8:44 instead of 9:20, yay! Not sure if it was trying out my Kinvara 2's which were AWESOME, or the fact that it wasn't the day after the turkey trot running like mad! | |

Great early run in 55 degrees. I improved my pace from this mostly up hill run last week from 8:45 to 8:20! Not sure if it's because it's the 5th time I've run it or my new shoes :)

| After a FULL day of cleaning my house from TOP to BOTTOM, every crack & crevice, I was able to jump rope for 20 minutes to celebrate :) Left hip is bothering me a little, I might do extra stretches and skip tomorrow's run so I'm ready for my last 10 mile training run up the hills on Saturday :) Now that I have a spotless house it's time to start thinking about getting the Christmas decor out! | |

| Running group today! Last running with the girls before their race on Sunday, they'll do great! There are almost 600 people signed up for the 5k run/walk & almost 500 signed up for the 10 mile race! I'm surprised and happy that this many people are participating! |

Probably my last run until Sunday's race. I'll be power walking the hills early tomorrow morning which will be a nice change of pace. Walked one mile with packages to the post office then did a 4 mile run back home in 8:07 pace!

OMGosh that was hard but FUN! I'm completely surprised about my pace (8:11). I was wearing long gloves at the start (43 degrees) with my t-shirt so I didn't check my Garmin as much as I usually do. I even stopped to walk for a few seconds up the hills, probably at least 4 times! There were 350 of us running, I finished 15th! I also finished 2nd place for my age group (40-44) and received a nice piece of jewelry. The race was VERY organized, VERY professional! It rained all day Saturday. so the expo wasn't quite as fun as it could have been. I sure hope they come back again next year! I'm very proud of my running girls running in the 5K, they had so much fun and their training paid off! They ran with 734 other 5Kers! They were all in the 10-14 age group. Victoria - Finished in 29:24; 9:30 pace/mi. 94th out of 734. 18th out of 47 in age group Isabelle - Finished in 31:26; 10:09 pace/mi. 143rd out of 734. 23rd out of 47 in age group Katherine - Finished 31:51; 10:17 pace/mi. 156th out of 734. 25th out of 47 in age group Orla - Finished in 36:51; 11:54 pace/mi. 318th out of 734. 30th out of 47 in age group.

Power walked the hills this morning, 41 degrees! Only have to run 3.92 more miles to get the same running mileage as last year, this walk of course doesn't count, so I'll run tomorrow morning :) | |
