We went out to see what we could get today. Jody is still nursing a hurt leg and so we tried to keep it simple.  At 4 miles she was feeling pretty good so we added on and she took off but I was stuck in slow mode.  It felt good today though.  Glad I got out and got it done.

Time  1:13

I went out with Jody and her knee was giving her problems so we headed back home and I forced myself to go and get a run in anyway. I was up throughout the night with my son so  I am totally ready for a long nap today.  But I feel great that I got my run done atleast.

Jody get feeling better!!!!!

We went out this morning with no real game plan.  We were just going to see how far we could go. The first little bit was hard to get into but once we got into it all was well.  Im not sure how far we went so I was just guessing today.  I was glad to see Jody being able to work through her leg issues today. It was nice to just run a slower speed and catch up with Jody.  Hopefully she doesn't tighten up because of the run. We were going to take our 4 wheelers out riding today but with the weather looking so gloomy I think we will just stick to home.  I have to get invites out for my neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt anyway.  Today is just as good as any other to get them out.

Hope al your weekends are fun!! Thanks Jody for getting me out running!!!!!

Time- 1 hour

My running partner is out of town which usually means I take the day off.  But I am going to try to stick to it all week and at least get a run in each day.  It was very nice out today and I felt great. 

Its my sons 6th birthday today so we are going to take him with us bowling tonight. I always bowl on Monday nights. He is so excited to get to go. Hopefully my day goes great from here on out.

Time 54 min.

We went out tonight since Jody was out of town this morning.  I used to run at nights and it was nice to get out again and enjo the evening.  Not to mention it was nice to have it warmer out for us.  No coat and shorts if I could have found them!

We stayed close to home for the first three miles and kept it mild. Jody is still working on figuring out whats wrong with her knee.  It's been nice to be able to visit as we have been out.  After the 3 miles Jody went home while her knee was feeling good. And I added on some to get me 6 miles.  It felt good and I got home just when it started to rain.  By the way though Who Ordered the wind?

NO WIND, NO RAIN, NO SNOW?????

I just dont know how to run in these nice conditions.  It was a great run today other than I had a side ache but not so bad that I couldn't work with it.  I went out and did 3 miles with Jody then I added 2 miles.  Ifelt really good and tried to add a couple sprints in to the mix.  Now onto cleaning house and getting kids off to school.

Have a great Friday!!

We went out and ran the first mile but decided to walk the other 2 because Jody's leg was sore.  I had an awful attitude when we started out. But I got home with a better attitude and ready to get things done so I'm glad we got out and got some miles in.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Today was a great run. There were a couple cars that wanted to see how close they could get to us without hitting us but other than that there were no problems.  It's always great to start the week out with a great run. Hope all your runs are good today!

This morning I was able to get out of bed easily and I got into the run from the very beginning. It's nice to enjoy the entire run, usually I start out tired and wondering what am I thinking getting up so early.  Anyway great run start hopefully to a great day.

We went out to run this morning and it was raining and windy so we decided to go over to the fitness center. I tried to talk the cashier into giving us a buy one get one in free but he wasn't going there. Oh well worth a try, anyway we walked for about 45 minutes and then decided we would run tonight.  Well tonight can and everything got busy so we called it off and decided to just go in the morning.  My children were watching a show and I was just sitting around so I decided to go out and run anyway.  My husband is mad because I ran alone and didn't take an AK47 to defend myself with me. But I did take my pepper spray so I got half credit. Anyway it was a good run other than my MP3 player was on the fritz.

I'm going to get a good night sleep and start again tomorrow.

I could not sleep last night so I stayed up really late and then my husband who works until 2:30 am got home and woke me up and we talked for a while so needless to day I was so tired this morning, plus I ran last night. Based on all that info I had a great run. my calf was a little tight but I'm hopefully going to be able to work through that. 

Have a great day,  Hay its Friday YEAH!!!

We got to sleep in a little today before we went out and headed out to the golf course. It was a nice easy course but it felt great. my calf muscle is a little sore but hopefully they wont get worse than they are now.  We got home and I needed to jump in the shower and get ready for a neighborhood easter hunt that we do.  It went well and I was ready for a nap, so anyway several hours later I am finally getting my run logged.

Happy Easter!!

We went on a course that we havent done for a while. It has a mile of up hill that you need to get through then it's pretty  mellow. Anyway my run was good  and I felt like I made good time. Good start hopefully to a great week.

We keep it nice and easy today.  It was nice to visit some for the first half and then we put our earphones in and finished our run.  It felt so nice out this morning. There was a little dog over at the fitness center that we ran past, he had a ferocious bark, even though he was only a quarter the size of my dog. I wonder if his bark would have been so confident had they both been off of their leashes.I get to go to the symphony with my daughters class today. So its off to the shower. Anyway all together another great run.

We went to the fitness center and did the machines today.  Nothing fun for scenery but we got it done. Not sure on any miles so I cheated and copied Jody's calculating.

My daughters first softball game was this morning and she had to be there 45 minutes early. so I put on my running clothes and ran around the fitness center while they warmed up. It was so cold out there today and there was a yucky wind that bite right into you. But anyway I got it done. If I have the energy I might go out and get a few more miles tonight. 

Anyway back to my daughters game even though we parents were all frozen by the time the game was over her team won 17 to 0 yeah for them.

Have a great weekend!!
