I was sick all weekend and had an awful headache so it was nice to feel good and get out to run. Tomorrow I'm off to girls camp for the week so I have lots of packing to do tonight.

I went out with Jody today. She is doing a long run and my legs are just not up to it yet so I ran the first half with her and then Mike came and picked me up. Over all the run felt great though. I think I could have kept going a couple more if I wouldn't of had my husband there to pick me up. Jody went on her merry way off to Bountiful. Hopefully the rest of her run was great. She seemed to be feeling really good so we shall see.

I went to girls camp this week which was a work out on its own, but oh so much fun!!

Anyway back to the running and getting all my stuff done that I let go all week.

Have a great weekend!

I felt really good today going out. I have been really good to not fall for a very long time, but I figured it out I need an audience. So I decided to fall right in front of some guy in the last mile of our run. No huge injuries to report other than a couple scraps and a very bruised ego. Anyway. I am off to youth conference tomorrow. so I will try to get a run in the morning and then nothing more until Friday when I get back

Have a great day!!

WOW I have been camping for so long that I have missed out on alot of running time. I am ready to get back in the swing of things. We  went out south and ran with a fun group today. They did hills and I couldn't even begin to keep up. But I felt good after taking so much time off.

We went out today for a easy run with our neighbor. I give blood this afternoon so hopefully I will have some energy to run in the morning.

I was up really late last night and ran with my neighbor this morning. We went later so I could sleep in a little later and there was a little breeze which kept it from being to hot. It was nice to get out and catch up visiting with Renee. I have been away from the computer all week and am finally getting caught up on all my emails and blogging.

Have a good day and good luck to all you Hobble Creek runners.

Me  and Jody went out today and ran with the group. We did a easy warm up 3 miles and then took off for another 6. I got new shoes yesterday and they were hurting my feet so I called it quits at 6 miles. At some point I am going to get into my groove and stop complaining about all my pain.

Anyway Jody is gone tomorrow and Thursday so I will hopefully get out with my other neighbor Renee for some miles.

Have a great day! And thanks to the  group for letting me tag along!

Today I went with my neighbor for 4 miles at a slower pace and then I added on  2.5 more at a faster pace. I felt really good today. My shoes yesterday were giving me problems but today they feel great and I actualy got a full nights sleep. WOW my body doesn't know what to do. However my knees are hurting a slight bit so I will have to watch them for the next little bit.

Today is my 15th anniversary YEAH so me and Mike are going out to lunch together.

Well Have a great day!!!

I got my kids off to school today and then went running with my neighbor. Its been nice to have it cooled off outside and be able to run a little later in the morning these last couple days. I have actually got my full nights sleep. However I do believe I am coming down with something because I haven't felt up to my usually self the last few days. Hopefully whatever it is doesn't grab hold.

Have a great day!!

Me and Jody went tonight out running and got a few miles in before bed.

Jody, Renee and I went over to the fitness center and back this morning. My knee is giving me aches to have to deal with. Hopefully it will get better now that I have my new shoes.

Have a great day!
