Kelly and I started off our day with a nice flat land run around our area.  Followed the run with a set of strides.  What a beautiful day.  We then took the family on a hike up the mountain.  Kelly's friend said the hike was about 1 mile and it turned out that even when we called it good (short of the destination) that my Garmin read 4+ miles.  So more than double what we thought it would be.  I ran probably .5 miles up, turned and went back to the group.  Hard running up the side of a mountain.  I don't know how those guys on this blog run the mountains.

Have a GREAT day!

AM: Got out this morning.  Didn't want to.  Thought several times that I would just miss today.  Talked myself into a short jog, and once I got out there I knew I would do the planned run.  So, mental win for me today.  :-)  Was a short run anyway, but on tired legs and mentally struggling I feel good that I got out.

Saw Smooth while I was out.  Sure like seeing smiling faces!

Have a GREAT day!

AM: Got out a little late.  Ran my normal 3 mile route.  Felt a little better than the last couple times out.  Which surprised me, my legs have been feeling tight and feet sore.  I was lacking on the energy today, but managed to have all three miles under 8 mpm.  I think I will up to 4 miles soon.

Have a great day!

PM: Ran with Kelly.  We did intervals (Those with warm up and cool downs were 5 miles).  She did awesome.  We went 3 min on, 2:30 off.  I think we need to have less rest time.  Maybe just increase the on time.

Ran the RHPC Half Marthon.  Ran the whole thing with my sweetheart.  

Going up the canyon was fun, we got to talk to a bunch of people, Smooth, Kelli, LuzyLew, Erica, (Kelli's friend, don't remember her name), Marion, Maurine, Kellie, and MichelleL.....

I have to say, I have only read Twinkies blog, and I had never met him.  But wow, he ran the first 3 + miles with his son and then turned on the heat.  He passed us like we were standing still.  Good job Twinkies!

After the turn around we came down the first two miles or so to the first (or last going up) bathroom and I had to make a stop.  I feel bad, Kelly was in a rhythm and she stopped and waited for me.  I told her to go and see if she could catch Kelli and Friend but she did exactly what I would do and waited.  That short stop got her cooled off just enough that she didn't get that "step" back.  Oh well, it was fun, we saw and got to talk to some old friends and some new ones too.  GOOD TIME!!!
