I went out with Jody this morning. Crash (my dog) was rebelling about going today so I went without him. But he felt sure that he hd earned his treat for running when I got home. Go figure. Anyway it was really nice out this morning. A couple times the wind blew and it was actually a warm breeze.. We had a good run and a good pace for me considering half of the run was up hill.

A wonderful run expecially when you figure in the fact that the wind was awful. We fan east west to avoid it and it worked out great.

I went out with Jody this morning for an easy 3 mile run and to see the sun come up. It was beautiful this morning.  Then I went with Renee for 11 miles. It was much colder this morning than I wanted but I really felt great throughout the entire 14 miles.

I woke up this morning after not sleeping very well and figured there would be at least some rain. But no ran but a little northern wind, It was a little cold but not bad. Me and Jody ran  together at an easy pace that was quite good. My legs are a little sore from my long run last week so the slower pace was good. Im glad I got it done early because it got so cold today out.

Did a old route that I have always enjoyed today with Jody and had a really good run.

No run yet today I might try to get out tonight and do a light run. Me and Renee have our longer run tomorrow so she is resting up  for it. I just need to go on my own. I have no drive to head out if noone is waiting out there. My bed is too warm and inviting. Who knows though hopefully tonight.

Yeah I made it!!!! It is something I can now cross of my list of things to do. I really wanted to finish under 2 hours but oh well. The wind was yucky and my hate for hills really showed because on the hills I just crawled up them. Overall I felt really good throughout the whole thing. My ipod died at mile 3 so I had nothing to entertain me except for my silly thoughts. I get the rest of the day off to recover now. I saw some of the runners from the group Jody runs with out there. Only for about a second until they were way far gone ahead of me. But it was great to get out and do it!
