So, I was daydreaming while running, and next thing I knew, I was on my street and forgetting to sprint in to the finish.  I don't remember much in betwwen, only that I know I went on  my regular route.  Very funny.

So, I will have to admit to "sleep running" again... at least the first part of my run.  I seriously was side tracked, missed my turn (which I made up), and almost missed the light I was waiting for because I didn't realize the little green man was granting permission to go until it was almost too late.  Wow!  Not sure what is going on my with my mind, but it is definitely else where.  This could be percieved as good or bad... Good:  I'm clearly in the zone and not thinking about any running aches and/or pains.  Bad: I could potientally be running harder if I weren't day dreaming.  O-well.  I'm not really too concerned about my speed.  And I did manage to get back in the amount of time I told Brandon I would be gone, even stopping at all the lights, so it couldn't be too bad!  I'm so silly though.  Seriously!  
 

On another note, we have been blessed with fun girls in my house lately.  Not only mine, but friend's children as well.  Yesterday we had two cute little girls over for a play date (and I got to have a friend over too, which is extra special... Thanks Lybi!)  And today I babysat for my sister in law's sister (can you follow that?).  This little girl was too precious and my girls just loved her.  It has been fun.  I'm happy to say that we will be getting OUT of the house alittle bit the next few days though, which I think we all need!  ha ha!

I met a really nice man by the name of Harley after mile 3 and we ran together for 4 miles.  He is also training for a marathon.  He told me some good stuff... and next thing I knew, I was going down hill.  I didn't even realize we were that far.  He turned around and I kept on keeping on.  At mile 15.5 I met the hill I was dredding.  After I started up it, I decided to walk it (1/2 mile).  There was no point of giving myself a heart attack.  At the top, I started running again (more up hill).  I ran out of drink and had to fill up with water at the park and ride.  I used the restroom in Del Taco (which was not a good place to stop... the greasey smell in the place after running was awful!!!)  I would have used the restrooms at the park and ride, but it was locked.  Then I ran 2 miles to my neighborhood, walked a 1/2 mile to the park, then ran the last 3/4 mile home.  At that point, it actually felt better to ran to walk.  My hips hurt when I walked. 

Now to catch up on my conference. (and eat)
