avg mile pace: 9:23
My running partner called me @ 4:45 a.m. and cancelled on me so I was able to sleep for another hour. It was great.
I retrieved my daughter from EFY this morning. When we arrived home I tried to talk her into going for a bike ride with me and I was rejected! :-( So, in my frustration, I decided to go for a run! I needed to break in my new running skirt!!! I love it.
I only planned on running 6 miles or so because of the longer run yesterday. Changed my mind at about mile 5 and took a different route. I stopped at two convenience stores to grab a handful of ice. I was so thirsty. I think that is the only benefit to running in civilization. I prefer non-civilization running, though.
I'm going home to Wyoming at the end of June and look forward to running in the sandhills or down by the Shoshone river.
Anyway, the pace today was a bit slow but it is always that way when I run by myself and don't bring the mp3 w/ me.
I was able to drag my daughter to the pool after my run. That felt great except for the wind. Can't wait until my little kids come back from their dad's. They are more willing to go do things with me.
On a final note - Go me!!! I ran 5 days this week. I know for some of you that is nothing, but for me, it is cause for celebration!!! Hmmmmmmm.......What should I go eat??? LOL |
