What a beautiful morning!  I rode my bike to my nieces then she jumped on the bike and we ran the neighborhood and back to my house.  The temperature was great and I felt great so I expected a decent time.  My run was supposed to be an easy one but I still felt like my miles would be in the 9's but they weren't.  

AP:  10:13

I've learned that Monday traffic is more aggressive.  I had two speeding cars cut me off at different times.  I spent my run trying to keep my niece aware of and clear of traffic.  And keep in mind that we are not on a major road, we are in a neighborhood but people think they need to go 50mph down the small streets to try and beat the clock.

I'm glad you had a beautiful morning. Sorry to hear about the traffic :-(

That's the way it is in that part of the country...everyone is always in a hurry.

I'm just working on my miles for now. I think the speed will come eventually. Have you put together a training plan?

Wow, I used to live in Waldorf when hubby was stationed at Andrews. I've heard that 301 is worse than ever.

Good job on getting your 3 miles in despite being nearly made road kill.

Hey Quiet Pirate

I am using a Smart Coach running plan I got off of Runners World website. I actually started it the beginning of June but wasn't sticking to it like I should. Hence my running blog to keep me in check.

Little Engine,

You are right about 301. There are a lot of crazy drivers out there. Some too fast, too slow, texting, eating, drinking, you name it! Always have to be on your toes.
