Once again  I only had time for 3 before picking the daughter up at the babysitters house.  I almost feel like 3 is pointless so I have to tell myself it is better  than nothing and I need to try to do it faster.  Anyway, I ran and I enjoyed it.  That is what matters most.

I got off work early today so I took advantage again and ran.  My normal 5 miler, out and back from the house.  It was warm today, but I felt really good.  No more leg troubles, I think the time off I had helped and not running everyday has also helped.  I am excited for tomorrow because I should be able to fit a longer one in.

I only had time for 5 again, but I ran and like I say every time, at least I got to do that.  I felt good and feel better as I run then I did when I first started.  I didn't wear my watch so I am not sure how fast or slow I went but that is fine.

This was a run in Ashland Oregon.  The race description said some uphill which wasn't quite right, it was through mountains.  It was absolutely beautiful and I am glad I ran.  The hills were absolutely insane though.  I did ok considering I did walk a few times when I wasn't running any fast than I could walk so I conserved some energy and walked up a couple of the hills.  All in all the course was amazing and some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen.  I am quite glad I ran.
