Saturday Morning's run

Keith Bernt asked me this morning how my training was going, and I had to confess that at best, it's uninspired. I'm bored and tired and it feels like such a chore. i skipped my speed workout this week...But I think (hope) a lot of that has to do with the weather.

I'm glad I got up and ran this morning. It was nice to see friends. Thanks so much to Tracy and Tom for giving us rides back to the dome so we didn't have to run into the wind!!

Leah- how are you feeling???? We were thinking of you as we ran today, and hoping your fall didn't do too much damage.

There's nothing like running outside in the cold to make you appreciate a hot shower and a good breakfast. Eggs and toast don't taste a good if you haven't run first. And I had an orange, and a piece of chocolate cake, and now I'm going shopping for Easter goodies!

Have a great day everyone!

Hey, Benita and everyone!

Kim and I had another great 20 mile run today. We opted to drive out to County Road 20 for our start so we would not have to turn back into the north wind. That proved to be a good plan!
We thought and talked about all of you as the miles went by, hoping your miles were going by easily.
My hip flexor flared up when we were on the icier roads but all in all I fared well. Kim wore her new shoes and at mile 16 when we had a pit stop at her house she switched out her shoes and we both had an awesome last 4 miles...the wind pushing us almost faster than we could run at some points!
I am definitely looking forward to a couple taper down weeks.
I'm with you, Benita.....breakfast is tasting mighty fine right now!
I took a quick ice bath and can't seem to get hot food in me fast enough!
Happy Easter Everyone!
