2:45 pm run 60 degrees ran with yellow dog

1. Got attacked by black dog again, i hate that dog
2. my dog kept pulling on the leash which hurts my arm-so I tied it around my waist....he is the reason I had threshold miles today--he kept pulling me
3. I had a headache and side stiches and was in a bad mood
4. glad I went out anyway. I still have a headache but I feel mentally better
5. yellow dog likes to chase after little brown flying cricket things...not so cool

last two miles were 9 minute pace...average for the run was 9:48

6pm run 60 degrees. Windy towards the end.

I'm starting to like these dark runs. I did see a runner while running and one while walking the dogs. Neither were wearing reflective gear. I worry about that. Even in the areas with street lamps it is dark.

6:am---What a day....I set out to do 13 today..and guess what? I ran about a mile--got a phone call that they needed a sub at the highschool. So I ran an 8:30 mile back and got dressed and showered in like 15 minutes and rushed over to the highschool. I'm sooooo glad my degree will not allow me to teach highschool. They weren't bad. Actualy they listened pretty well but it was sooooooo boring! They are on block scheduleing 90 minutes! the teacher did not give them enough to do. And the stuff she did give them was boring! I'm glad I brought homework and such.

And I was so mad-the middle school called at around 8:30 wanting a sub--I'm like oh man!

This weas my frist time at the h.s.--and I will never do it again. The sub coordinator was very cranky and expected me to file for her (i only filed b/c this other lady was super nice). The lunchroom had a definate sub and staff tables. Usually I'm fairly warmly welcomed. I do not like the big stranger atmospher of the highschool...plus I never really liked h.s. while I was there. No wonder teenagers feel alienated!

Any who--I have a class tonight so the long run will have to wait till tomorrow...or maybe saturday...we shall see!

7:30 am run 32 DEGREES brrrr...end of run was only 38 degrees

I did some hill sprints today--i was trying to get my mojo going but it didnt' work. I forgot how long it takes me to warm up when i'm uncomfy. See I wore a shirt a bought at the end of the season last year. Supposedly it is suppose to wick. Well it doesn't. I work it under my jacket--so I was hot but then I took off the jacket and I was cold. I couldn't find my fav winter hat and gloves were too hot and itchy.

Aww growing pains of trying to figure out what to wear when it get colder

oh and I got lost. i did not intend to run almost 7 today! But I have had a hectic week so I won't complain.

I think I'm gonna do my long runs on Sundays now. Too many excuses get in the way of them during the week...and hopefully I will have more subbing days.

Happy running--stay warm!
