I was very surprised at my times this morning.  I ran Rosewick Rd which has a nice hill.  The road is flat until the beginning of mile 2, then it starts a 1/2 mile decline and a 1/4 mile incline.  Once I got to the top and finished my second mile, I turned around and ran back which meant 1/4 decline and 1/2 incline, then last mile flat.  

AP: 9:31  Splits:  9:37, 9:26,  9:41, 9:19.

The only reason I can credit for the good run is the oatmeal cookies I had at 12:30am because I couldn't sleep :) 

Or maybe I'm excited because my buddy is coming to visit.

Went fishing yesterday.  

Today I woke up late and decided to head out anyway to get in what I could.  After 1st half mile my watch went dead and the humidity started it's slow grip of death on me.  I decided to head home after about 2 miles and do some strength training in the a/c.  

Tomorrow I am spinning in the morning then trying another evening run with a friend.

Now I'm off to a meeting.

Went spinning this morning and planned an evening run with my friend.  

When evening rolled around, so did the thunderstorms.  Looks like this week is going to be my "easy" week in my training.  I'm good with that.

I am going to be super rested for my long run on Saturday!

Had a great run with my buddy. We ran the rail  trail and the weather was beautiful.  It was nice having someone to talk to and pass the time.  I didn't even notice parts of the run that I struggle with when I'm on my own.

AP: 9:47

QP always keeps me laughing.  She is the only one I know who can find road kill on a bike path.
