15.76 miles -- my legs are so heavy -- not sure if it is still the aftermath of two marathons in the past 6 weeks or if it is the lower body stuff I have been doing.
** After looking at all my lower body issues these past couple of years and trying to figure out what the deal is I have come up with a new theory for myself. This might sound totally lame but I am pretty convinced that my gluteus maximus is not maximus enough. Seriously. Seems like my lateral rotators are super weak, especially my stinkin' bootie muscles (or lack of bootie muscles might be more appropriate). Here's to a bigger and stronger tush. Will see if my theory holds true ... giving it 3 committed months of working on those dang lateral rotators. :)
** Big regret today: not running with my SSF. I woke up feeling blah and didn't even know if I would make it 10 miles. Just was not feeling it. Smooth was right, I would make it if I chose to ... I should have listened to her and ran with her. Big mistake on my part.
** Another stupid thing I did today was begin my run with the wind at my back ... that made the last half miserable. Yes, I am a big baby!!! Seriously.
My daughter, Rylee, was giving me piggyback ride yesterday down our hallway. She wanted a picture of her carrying her mother. Payton was the photographer and he took this shot when we weren't ready (Rylee wanted me to fix her bangs) -- it is my favorite. I have the best kids in the world!!! :)
