My journey to 50 in 50 states

8 easy miles during a heavy rain but it felt good.

Today was a fun running day. I ran 4 miles in between my childrens soccer practices. I found a new route by a running creek. It was along a path and was very nice. Then I came home and ran another 4 miles with my new running partner Nathan. Like I said, it was a fun running day. 

4 miles with kids on their bikes but it got way too hot for them thanks mom saved the day and picked the little ones me and Layla finshed the 4 miles. I kept running  and met my running parner Nathan for another 4 miles to make 8 for the day.

I ran the first 5miles with Beth and Nathan and my dogs then Beth took the dogs home.  I finished the run with hard 3 miles to make 8 for the day. I like running with a group of people its just hard to get everyone together. I feel a little bounce on my feet from the consistent running during the last few months. I'm fighting the urge to do any speed work until I get to 10 miles a day of easy running. 

I took my dog oakley for one mile worm up run before meeting Nathan for a 4 miles run then I finished the 3 alone for total of 8 miles for the day. My body is happy tomorrow is friday and no running.

first 4 miles easy and then 4 miles Marathon pace I was not planing to run tha pace but the body was calling for it it felt good plus 55 deg, no wind, and the fact I was running late for Layla soocer tourniment helped alot. Tomorrow is 3 weeks since my daily mileage increase. I will go up to 9 miles per day for the next 3 weeks and hope the body will handle it without any isues other wise I have to drop the mileage back to 8 a day.
