| | Ran with my niece again today. Overcast and cool and a great run. Had a couple of good hills that made us appreciate the top. AP 10:04 At mile 8 we ran past a full container of unopened Ho Ho's not the Hostess kind but the bakery kind that were huge and looked delicious! Thought of you QP! |

| | I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired! Another week of being sick. Stomach flu 2 weeks ago and now this annoying cough. I spend every night out on the couch so I don't wake my hubby from choking and coughing all night. I knew teaching 1st grade would come with a lot of germs but this year has been especially germy. As I sat on my couch this morning, holding my head in my hands, thinking how all this coughing has got be good for my abs...I made a decision. I'm doing my long run today. I didn't care if I died while out on the road...at least I would die while trying to live. I set out with my reflective vest and my new headband that sports a beautiful green flower :) I must have looked great because I literally stopped traffic....really. I had to cross a two lane road and both lanes of traffic stopped to let me go. Must have been the headband :) Cold and freezing drizzle but it felt great to feel alive. Only coughed a couple of times during the run. Time flew by. As soon as I stopped running the cough came back, but I didn't care because I finally felt alive again! AP: 10:38 :) |

| | I can't believe this is week 3 of being sick. I don't know if I keep getting more germs or if I just can't kick this thing. My husband moved to the couch last night because of all my hacking. I took NyQuil but it didn't seem to help much. Went out for the long run anyway. Beautiful day...I actually wore knee length pants. I ran solo on the rail trail. Was a little strenuous because of my lack of energy but it was definitely needed. Wore my pretty new headband again and something unusual happened. A male runner going the opposite way, put up the hand signal for "call me" when we passed each other. It could have been part of his conversation with buddy, but it also could have been my pretty new headband:) Good thing he didn't see my fall out of the jiffy john. Yes...I fell out of the jiffy john and wacked my knee on the door frame on the way out. I had to stand there and get over the initial shock of pain. I felt so stupid. It immediately swelled and bruised but did not effect my running:) I'm just sooo sexy today! |

| | Ran in my childhood neighborhood this morning. My family moved every two years or so so I was able to see two of my childhood homes. There is one road called Shady Oak Ln that is lined with oak trees. When I was a kid I used to climb those trees with my brothers. When I ran through the rows of oaks the memories just swarmed and I had to stop and hug a few oaks. When I started running again, I noticed my speed was 8:05 and I had a huge grin on my face. I decided to loop around to run the oaks again...this time when I looked at my watch my speed was 7:45 ??? whaaat. Shady Oak Ln is only about an 1/8 of a mile long but it is beautiful. I ended up looping through the oaks 4 times before heading back. My AP was 10:10 but my fastest pace was 6:45. Now I'm hanging with my grandbaby...good times! |
