Went for a nice run this afternoon with Melanie.  I was hoping it would put her to sleep, which it did until I stopped running.  Shucks!  Should have ran longer.  She is having a really hard time getting back into a sleeping schedule after the long weekend out of town. :o(

I did it!!!  100 miles a whole 8 days early!  :o)

This morning I felt really good.  I still have a few sore muscles from Saturday, but nothing too bad!

I got up this morning, heading out back... got all ready to ride my bike... jumped on and.................

FLAT TIRE!  Can you believe that?  I haven't touched my bike in 3 weeks. Go figure.  So, instead, I went for a run.  It was a great run too.  I pushed myself to go fast, but not too uncomfortable.  I'm pretty happy with it.

Anyone have any pointers on how to increase my 5K speed?  I'm running a 5K on November 8th and would love to cut my time by a minute or so.  My husband says he thinks I can do it in 25 minutes and it would be really cool if I could.  But I for sure want to run a sub 27.  Any advice?

Good morning everyone! I ran a good 7.25 miles this morning.  :o)  I left later than I normally do (because I didn't have to work) and had the sun in my eyes at first.  That's annoying.  But ultimately, it was a nice run.  I'm loving the change in the weather!

I'm a LOVING the weather!  For everyone that has enjoyed great weather for the last few months and want it back, forget it... LOL  I'm being selffish and don't want to give it back.  It was nice to have my window open today :o).  Okay, I'm done rubbing it in!

I went for a long run today, and after 8 miles, I ran past a friend's house.  This particular friend has been really busy and hard to pin down, so when I saw her out front gardening, I decided to stop and talk to her.  She is pregnant with number 5 and has been sick, so I like to check up on her.  (Plus, I don't have too many friends... definately not enough to start "miss placing" them).  So, I sacrificed the other 3 miles I was going to run, but in the end, it was worth it.

Oh, and today my mom taught me how to sew as we were sewing Melanie's Halloween costume.  We have one more thing to sew (the hat).  She is going to be the cutest Strawberry Shortcake ever.  Sewing is actually fun.  Maybe I'm going domestic. :o)
