After going to bed I decided to not do the early miles, but just do the main workout with the BBK's. However, I guess I don't think well in the morning. I got all confused about re-setting my alarm clock and woke in a panic thinking I was late for main miles! I had 2 minutes to get out of the house, I raced and grabbed and raced in the car. When I got there I saw 3 people running away from the cemetery...not towards it. I actually stopped and inquired where the rest of the group was. Confused they said "the cemetery is the MAIN miles" - DUH!! The whole drive there it didn't dawn on me that I was trying to get there by 5:15 and not 5:45! Not until that moment did I realize I was now in for the early miles and missed out on the extra 20 minutes of sleep! Seriously...where is my brain?? So, I did get going and when you have to jump right out of the car and head off to running you have no time to think about how cold it is! I didn't feel cold at all (with my 4 layers on) until we stopped at the cemetery to do the relay race. I wasn't quite racing this morning...as my splits will tell and poor Melanie (my partner) had to put up with my being last...BAD last! :( After that we did 3 hill climbs/loops then another big loop back to the parking lot. Nancy R had brought doughnuts for everyone - what a lovely halloween treat!! YUM! Oh, just as a funny side note (for all of you who may not know what an amazon I am) I wore a clown wig and my halloween shirt to 'dress up' today. I ran 2 miles with Julie in the early miles and when we got back to the parking lot I was commenting about how I was hoping I wasn't the only one goofy enough to 'dress up' - Julie looked at me and laughed "I didn't even realize you were wearing a wig!" I just had to laugh. Seriously, is my head really that high up? :) Came home and got a quick nap (I'm going to miss these when the kids go back on track!) then went to the gym for yoga and zumba. I really like zumba, but really just wasn't feeling it today... oh well, maybe next week. I'm taking my Thursdays off of training and just doing Tuesdays until my money runs out. AP: 9:21 splits: 9:24, 9:05, 9:26, 9:49, 8:31, 8:31, 9:56, 9:48, 9:36 - nice and easy...I'm loving it!
