Well, its taken me all day to get a chance to sit down and blog today! Great day for me! Met up w/ Mik'L, Heather & Amanda at 6am to run 5 miles. Let me just say that Mik'L's snoman tree & collection is even CUTER is person! It was cool to meet Amanda (another"bloggie"- stole that cool term from Mik'L). We ran one of Mik'L's regular loops, nice quiet, wide streets. It was pretty early and pretty cold, but I had a great time regardless thanks to the great company. Mik'L had the Garmin going and we clocked 9:58 av. pace for the 5 miles. I felt pretty good so when I got home I decided I'd try to squeeze in a few more miles. I had to be showered and picked up for the temple in an hour so I had to book it. I ran 3 more miles around my neighborhood, 9:20 average. I'm proud of myself that I went out and did a few more miles alone. I really wanted to get in a few more miles for the week and I'm stoked that I just barely got in my 25 miles for the week. My goal is 110 for Dec. so I need to average high 20s for the next 2 weeks. Then I rushed to the temple to escort my sis-in-law through for her 1st time. Excellent experience. In the afternoon I was SO tired, stole a short nap that felt SOOO good- then off to Tuachan with the family to see the nativity and lights. Couldn't ask for a better day! |
