Good run today.  According to my schedule it was a walking day, but I want to do a long run on wed so I ran today.  Feeling really good and kept a decent steady pace up the hills.  

It was 50 when I left so I was quite warm by the time I got home.

So much for a long run... although today is a day to remember!!  I wore my garmin and kept track of my splits.  They were

1- 8.24    2- 8.24    3- 8.04    4- 7.46 ( Oh my heavens!! I never would have thought that, my garmin has to be broken!!)   5- 8.23    6-  9.44 (Pah Tempe hill)

So, I am amazed and like I said, maybe there is something wrong with my garmin, who knows.  Anyway, I felt amazing and strong.  I love it.  For so long, I just ran (jogged, whatever...slow) and now I am trying to improve.  It is like night and day and I feel much better!!!

Walking today with 250 lunges.  It was beautiful outside today.  My knee felt a bit sore last night but felt better after I started walking this morning.

Good run today.  I didn't leave until about 11, which was kinda hard.  I ate some grapefruit and yogurt at about 9 or 9:30, but by the time I got home I was starving.

I mixed in a couple of narly hills and went a way I had never gone before, which was fun.  The first 3 was on dirt, then a mix of pavement and sidewalks for the rest.  

Average 9:22, wore my new Kayanos.  Hadn't been over 4 in them until now.  They felt good.
