I felt great today!!! It was a bit windy and it still amazes me how you can have a head wind every direction you turn. I felt really good and even though I didn't have my garmin, I feel like I am speeding up a bit. I feel like I will be ready for the Hurricane half and hoping to sign up for the st gerorge marathon soon.

I ran when I got home from work, pushing the daughter in the stroller again. I feel like I pushed it but without the garmin or looking at the clock when I left I can't be 100% sure.

I tried out a new pair of shoes the Vasque Aether or something like that. They are comfy and I will probably use them for my shorter runs and save my Asics for longer. Tonight I am going to try my new New Balance shoes and see how I like them.

I am feeling better and better each time and I need to find some time to get some longer runs in.

I got to run this morning and I loved it.  I miss getting up and going for a run.  Once it gets hotter, I will have no choice though.  Anyway, my usual 5 miler and I felt good.  Glad to be running!!!!!!

Just my usual 5 mile run.  Not to much changes in my running world.  I really want to log some REAL miles though and hopefully I can find some time to do that.  I am feeling good and loving being able to run.
