Another restless night with baby, but I KNEW today if I didn't get up and run with the Newtons there would be no make-up and I'd be stuck on the bike at the gym dealing with sick baby in the stroller. So, despite no sleep I got up and headed out. I thought maybe I could blame the snow and the winter stom warning for not going, but when I woke up I couldn't see a flake falling or anything on the ground that wasn't there before. Crap. So, I got ready and got to Chad's house in enough time to check FB and play a couple lives of Candy Crush Saga :)
The 10 mile loop wasn't busy (as far as cars go) this morning and I was grateful! Sliding cars is always what worries me most running on mornings like this. I was lucky enough to step on a stray rock on the sidewalk on the corridor though. Nearly fell and broke my hip...or knee :) but caught myself and had only twisted my ankle well. I made everone stop for a minute to let me walk it off a bit, then carried on.
Heading South and East we got a nice microdermabrasion facial thanks to the wind and snow, but heading West on Emmiline it was pure beauty as we ran along and couldn't feel a bit of wind on the gentle downhill.
We ended up keeping a nice clip on the last few miles of downhill. Chad said 7:50 pace and George later (when Chad had left us in his dust) said 7:30. I'll take it. Especially with the wind in my face again.
Again, I'll post splits etc. when I get to the computer to download the garmin, but I did look at the AP and it was 8:28, which for the hills, I'll take! AP: 8:28; splits: 9:02, 9:03, 9:37, 9:26, 8:15, 8:21, 7:56, 7:38, 7:39, 7:41
Tuesday 10 done. Now, I get to snuggle with my little baby, try to sleep a bit and just get through the day so I can get up early again tomorrow. Hopefully, I don't get sick...fat chance with not ever getting to be more than a foot away from the sick baby for days, but I'll fight off what I can.
