I haven't been feeling very good since Sunday.  The kids have had the stomach bug and a cold and I have caught the cold.  I'm just totally drained of energy.  I do plan on doing a weight video at home today, I just feel really soft like I desperately need some toning.  Then hopefully tomorrow I will feel good enough to meet up with Heather & Buff for a run!

PM UPDATE:

Got in an hour of total body toning today, feel better about myself now! Cold is also better after taking it easy today.  Going to run w/ Heather tomorrow.

Felt good to get some miles in today, first since Saturday.  I felt like I was working hard for only a 9:37 av. pace. (4.83 mi. with Heather & Buff) I think the cold is affecting me and it was windy.  So good to start the day on the right foot!

Does anybody know anything about Charlie Horses? These plague me while sleeping from time to time.  I've had a couple in the last week and I got one the night before one of my 1/2 marathons this year.  Anyway, I've started taking my multivitamin again and I'm going to try to drink more water- I've read that may help.  My calf was really sore this morning from the CH, so I put off my morning run.  BUT I am PRE-BLOGGING right now- at least 4 miles this afternoon while "A" is at her afternoon sports.  There's a trail close by I will hop on and get in at least 4! Hold me to it! 

PM Update:

So my son ended up with an evening try-out that I had forgotten I had to take him to.  So there went my scheduled run time.  I did make it out for a SHORT 2 miler later at night.  Not been the best week for mileage! I do think I'll get in some good miles Friday & Saturday, I've scheduled to meet up w/ running partners each day, that should help!

Over & over again I fight getting up early and when I do, I'm so happy! What's my deal?!

Had a great run w/ Alison this morning.  4.25 mi. with her at about 9:45 pace w/ some walking breaks (she is only used to running 2-3 mi.) Then 1.5 alone averaging 8:15.  Beautiful morning, nice & cool! (no wind)

Went to meet Heather on her last 9 miles of the Red Mountain 50k, and ran her in.  It was a BEAUTIFUL course.  One of the best I've seen! And the weather couldn't have been more perfect, partly cloudy and cool.  We both thought the race was run VERY well.  The volunteers really gave everyone personal attention and all the aid stations were well stocked.  Heather got lots of cool loot in her runner bag too.  I talked to the race director a bit and he said next year they are going to add a 1/2 marathon or shorter race along with the 50k.  Heather did GREAT! She had a strong finish, I was so proud of her!
