I decided to run outside this morning since it was going to be warmer. It was SO beautiful and there was a full moon!

I ran up LP Hwy. I haven't done this route since before my stress fracture. It brought a lot of memories of the day I was running my mid-week longish run (12 miles) and decided that my ankle just didn't feel right. Sad.

But today was a good run (not a sad one!). 54:00:00 (getting faster each day)

2 x 6 min walk/4 min run

3 x 5 min walk/5 min run

1 last sprint home...probably 2 minutes or so.

My running started out slow and got progressively faster and faster. I even hit the 7MM. Nice.

2 x 2 house worth of lunges

I'm kinda a Halloween Grinch....it is so much work and money for one lousy evening. Grrrrr.....
