Weekly Wrap up

Tuesday - 8 miles of hell.  It was hot (now there's a surprise!) and my legs were like logs.  I was supposed to run 10 but after 8 I knew that wasn't happening.  Since I ran less, I had time to do strides and core before I went to work.

Wednesday AM - less than 12 hours after the run from hell, I had a very pleasant 9 mile run with some moderate hills.  Tried to say hi to the cutest donkey ever but it ran away.  Watched a guy gallop a very attractive horse on the exercise track near my house.  All in all, a nice run.  Made better because I don't have a functioning watch and my Garmin had a low battery.

Thursday AM - 12 miles with Karen, Trevor and Mike.  After 2 miles I was mildly concerned that I would get dropped. Sucked it up and hung on.  Ran the last 4 with just Karen as the guys were just running 10.  Karen told me to pick up the pace for the last mile (I'm sure she was just tired of our back and forth increase of pace and wanted to get rid of me!).  I enjoy running with Karen - we are well matched in pace and push each other just the right amount.  I am pleased with my running - I'm keeping up a lot better this time around.  Going to tweak my schedule and run 30 min on Mondays and cut down the number of miles on Tuesdays.

Friday - Meesha ran around all night and then started some meowing nonsense at 3 am.  I got up and fed her and went back to sleep until 9:30AM.  Am having a hard time getting going with laundry, house cleaning etc.
