We were suppose to do 8 miles today, but I took us on a little detour. Oh well...it was a beautiful morning to be outside!

Ran with my hubby Tim! This was his longest run EVER and he did a great job! It was a rolling course (which included some BIG hiking spots....trail blazing). We had three different water fountains (hooray for the water being turned on). It was starting to get warm.

I was really proud of him....during the last 2 miles, I picked up the pace (more of my normal pace) and he quickly followed. I think he is starting to understand the importance of having a running buddy....they can push you!

Ankle tendon and shin splint area sore. Lots of ice and Advil. I had a massage tonight.....I need one every week!

I need a massage every day!! :)

Glad you had a wonderful run and more importantly that you and hubby can get out TOGETHER and enjoy the weather and company. YAY!

Awesome for your hubby! It sounds like a fun run on a perfect day.
