Hubby was out of town, so I had to run after I dropped everyone off at school. I didn't like it - it felt like I wasted half of my morning and I didn't get anything else done. BUT I did get to sleep in which was heavenly!

Before run: high knees and butt kicks

The first 2 miles, I felt like I was huffing and puffing. I felt horrible! But then immediately I warmed up and all was right in the running world again. The weather was so wonderful - cold, sunny and leaves crunching under my feet.

I got new shoes...they felt like butter! Right foot felt ok...we'll just wait and see

After run: just a few high knees

What a kick booty workout. Waiting around for a workout is no fun, but you got it done woohoo :)

new shoes and good weather make everything better! :) Excellent work there Toby, do you see that speedy 7:33 in there?!? I love your fast finishes, you've always got them!

Oh, and keep up with the strength training - you're right, it IS good!
