1 mile cd:  9:04

I was definitely breathing hard and the 2 miles seemed to take awhile.  But I wasn't in puke mode and I made it.  Done.  Hopefully, I'm not as far behind in my training as I really think I am.

Stretching, pt balancing exercises and foam rolling

My alarm went off at 4:15am.  Ughhhh....so tired.  I drove to Karen's house to do a long run!  I'm so glad our schedules meshed and we both needed to do a long run, on Friday, really early!

It was very smokey and dark this morning.  I had a hard time getting my legs to move.  Very heavy.  We ran part of the Suncrest hill...BIG hills today.  I was grateful Karen was not pushing the pace!

We saw SO many deer this morning and had a great conversation!  We stopped at the everflowing water fountain.  Smooth was out with her posse!  Go Smooth!  Even though it was early, it was still very hot! 

It was a great run but I just wished I was stronger and faster.  Don't we all wish that?  Even though this wasn't a super great or a super horrible run, I'm still worried that I won't be ready for SGM.  Wait and see!

 

 

1.30 miles with kids during running club

My 4 year old has been running around our cul-de-sac with my iPod.  Even though she isn't old enough, she really want to go to running club with the big kids today.  So I kept my running clothes on and headed for a "speed walk".  We got 20 feet into the 1 mile run and she was done.  So we walked/run and was able to cut the course short.  BUT I was able to run my big kids in from their 1 mile/2mile run.  Fun times!
