Ran 6 on the rail trail  AP:  9:49  Splits;  10:56, 9:21, 9:14, 8:58, 10:07, 10:20.  

I have a new running partner.  My niece, Charisma has decided to join me on her new bicycle.  It's nice having someone to workout with, makes the time fly.  Speaking of flying...I had another grasshopper incident.  This time the grasshopper bounced off my arm and flew into my hair.  I did the grasshopper jig, screamed, and kept going.

3 miles in the hood with my niece.  I walked to her house which is about a mile from mine.  I needed the walk to wake up my sore and tired  legs.  I'm glad it was an easy day because my body would only do easy.  I want to go spinning in the morning but I'm afraid I won't have much left for my long run on Friday.   What to do?  To spin...or not to spin...that is the question.  

p.s.  I'm still planning on wearing my magical skirt on Friday :)

Hottest day of the year so far.  Took more breaks on my last two miles than usual.  Should have started before sunrise.  Making this post short because as soon as I got home from my run, I  found out my 1st grand baby was being born!  His name is Harvey and he is doing well.  I am super excited!

Forgot to mention that I wore my running skirt.  Some guy thought my great niece was my daughter...Love it!  Not bad for a grandma!
