Great run w/ Sole Sisters today.  There was 9 of us again, so fun! I got to meet a great gal who some of you bloggies know (Theresa Peterson) I know Dave Holt & Mik'L know her.  I tried to convince her to join the blog! I always tell these girls this, but I think they think its an overwhelming chore to get on the blog or something.  I told them its VERY user friendly.  Hopefully we'll see some of them join soon.  Anyway- Theresa offered to get a group of kids together to helping the 5k I'm organizing for next year, it will be great to have her on board.  She's experienced with race organizing!

Anyway- 14 mi. at 9:15 pace, I swear it felt faster than that! These chics keep me on my toes!

I'm happy about my mileage this week.  I've been averaging 25, but this week is 29.75 - I'll call it 30! And the best thing about it is that the increase felt natural.  I hope I can keep closer to 30 miles weekly for awhile without burnout.

14! And it felt natural?! You are doing so good. Yes I know Teresa (or Pete as many of us call her) and she is the best! She was my track coach in high school and then I was her assistant her last year before Holt took over. I have told her to join the blog too. Great job today and this week!!!

Christi, you are doing amazing! I'm really jealous... I did soemthing to my other hip, the good one. It's not actually the hip it's the muscle or something that goes across the the side of it... really hurt on my last run last Tues. I've been trying to just rest it, but I'm going to get out tomorrow I hope. It's not all the way better but I NEED to run!
