I ran my last mile at 10:09. Average pace was 10:34. I'm pretty happy with this run. I REALLY needed it. I had my SIL, her hubby and two boys staying with us this weekend. I haven't ran since wednesday. Friday morning I was lazy and Friday night was like 100 degrees. Then family came in and it all went down hill.

Now everyone is gone. I hve my house back and I'm chilling while drinking some coffee and enjoying the 50 or 60 degree weather.

btw I got to try out my new jacket. LOVE IT! it has thumb holes and hand warmers and some pockets. I had to take it off after 1.5 miles but still!

30 min straight on the ellip. I did another 15 minutes of switching between the ellip and weights of some sort.

Ate great today and felt better. and it is 9:30 pm and I'm not exhausted. Now if only this would last!

My attempt at speed again. I warmed up for a mile. Did a 10 min mile did a  slow mile then did a 9:45 mile.

That last mile I really tried to get down to 9:30.

My achilles is doing well. there is still a twinge there but I feel like it is getting better.

Im still wearing the inserts and doing heal toe walking before and after my run.

I signed up for a 1/2 last night for November.

8 glorious hours of sleep. I was sooo tired! I woke up at 4:45 today and feel much better.

 

My bday weekend and night (last night) was great. The hubs got me a DQ cake. it is going to take forever to eat! I got flowers from his work. Over the weekend we BBQ with  my family, I ran and shopped with a friend. My bro came in from out of state. Hubs and I went clay target shooting on Sunday and he cleaned my gun last night. We had to try out my new clay target thrower. LOVE IT! Can't ask for much more than that!

Does running after eating ever get any better? I'm struggling with getting up in time to run in the morning but running ever an hour after dinner blows! my stomach just feels like a lead anvil dragging me backward.

ran...today I was running late. I slept in b/c I was arguing with myself about waking up or running later. So I took all the doggies for the last .5 miles of my run. They seem happy.

Ran with my reg running buddy and she brought one more. We were nervous adding someone into our routine but it went really well. She has ran half marathons in the past but not for a while. Right now she is a xtrain coach so she only runs 3-4 miles so we were nervous when she was all about an 8 miler. It was great b/c we kept up with about a 10:30 average. Which is fast for me for a long run. But usually I'm by myself and I think I stop and walk or slow down a lot. yeah "group" runs! Also she is a middle school science teacher so she was giving me these ideas for science stuff for my kids (we both agreed it isn't taught enough before the grade 4) I'm hoping to change that in my first grade room.

Also we were supposed to run 8. I had the Garmin and I swear the miles were just slipping away. I got confused and thought we had another mile to go. I guess running with the right people is a good thing. I"m so glad I found the right people!

 

 

p.s. I went to post miles for team Canahan...:( Yeah I guess the goal was met! buy waaah that it is over!

OOPs forgot to put this one in...probably b/c this was the day the husky backed out of her leash and I let my good dog go to find her. she brought her back and I caught her but it took some time.
