Lately I've been pretty indifferent to running, but I'm hoping that my motivation is coming back.  This run today actually felt pretty great.  I had limited time to run, so I decided to pick up the pace a little bit.  My first 2 miles were avg. 8:30 pace, then I ran one at a bit over 8, one at about 9, and another at 8.  I tried to relax a little bit on the 4th mile, but in relaxing, I slowed a bit too much.  The other thing I tried to work on was using my abs a bit more instead of letting it all hang out :)

Then it was off to the IL Shakespeare Festival.  My hubby and I saw Richard III.  It was quite good and at a pretty cool venue.  I've always known about the fest, but have never made my way over there, but this year they actually radio advertised and I was able to get a 2 for the price of 1 deal.  We've decided that we'll have to make this an annual thing.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling the love.

That's cool that you went to the Shakespeare festival together.
