Went running this afternoon with Renee, it was hot, hot, hot out. We just took it easy and did a total of 5 miles although we walked some of it. Came home, stripped off my shirt and jumped in the pool. Heaven-------it was great. Now I'm ready to sit down and enjoy my salad and wrap.

Had a busy two weeks. Didn't run but 3 miles last week. This week started off alittle better. I ran 3 miles yesterday and 2 miles this afternoon. My training for my next half starts next monday so I got to get some milage in this week. This afternoon it started pouring down rain at mile one, by the time I got home I looked like a drowned rat, but it was fun. Hope my shoes dry out soon.

Took a lazy day Sun. but Monday I ran 3 miles with Renee, I'm glad she called because I was probably not going to run. Glad I got a short run in. Needed to run again today but I'm tired. I want to give myself plenty of time to recover from my half before I get back into it full swing.

Marganna, Melissa and I ran a 5k this morning in Henderson, It was the first year the welcome center has put one on. It wasn't timed and didn't have enough volunteers so we went the wrong way and it went down Merrit Drive which has several hills. But what the hell, at least we got a run in. Oh yeah the age divisions were in 10 year increments and the 1st place winner is the only one that got a trophy. Well for 25 bucks we got a t-shirt and a bottle of water. They will have to improve for next year thats for sure. Tommy and I are taking Nan out for dinner tonight for Mothers Day, I think we are going Mexican. I think I'll drink a few beers. Its been a lazy Sat.

Didn't get to run this afternoon, it was raining. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. I'm tired.

Got a 2 mile run in today on John Steele before the rain hit. Glad I got one in, its supposed to rain again tomorrow. I have a 5k planned for Sat. hope its not raining

Oh my god, I was in a pissy mood today. I don't know if the weekend finally caught up to me or what. I have major PMS on top of that. Well anyway, got home from work and decided just to changed into my running clothes and run a couple of miles even though I didn't feel like it. I ended up running 3 miles down John Steele and I'm so glad I did. I feel awesome right now, nothing hurts and I even ran my last mile in 8:47.

Cindy, where are you?

Well it's Monday and I feel great. Tina and I got home about noon yesterday and last night I went walking with Marganna and Melissa for a couple of miles. I got on www.onlineraceresults and got my placement and time.

I am very pleased with my results and am already surfing the net for an Oct 1/2. I was going to do the Evansville but Marganna wants to do her first 1/2 and I told her I would do it with her and she will be out of town for the Evansville 1/2. I'm hoping to find one on Oct 19th

I plan on running alittle tomorrow.

I did it, I did it. Another 1/2 completed. It was awesome. Started out overcast and cloudy but the sun popped out about mile 8. Running around the indy track was great, everyone was so pumped up. I did really good until mile 12, no walk breaks. But at mile 12 I guess I hit my wall. I walked some between mile `12 and 12 1/2. Finished the last half mile strong. Finishing time 2:09:55. I'll take it. I actually ran my last half about a min. faster but I finished so much stronger this time and feel I ran a better race. Well, Tina and I are off to do some shopping, I'll be heading home tomorrow.

Ok, I'm all packed and ready to go, I think I have everything. I'm excited and ready. I think Tina and I will have a great time. Marganna is going to be running at 9 am Sat. morning so I will have my running partner to finish up my milage with even if it is several miles apart.
I'll be back on to post about my race when I get home.

Cindy, I hope you get a run in while I'm gone
