| | Ran the parkway... I am really enjoying this weather, so I will probably be doing a version of this run as much as I can before it gets too dark or too cold. It was the first time I had seen any of my regular people on the parkway since my surgery and my return to running of the parkway. I have been down there quite a few times but never seen any of the people that I used to see every night. That is until tonight!! I was so excited to see the little old couple with their middle aged daughter and dog, that I think I scared them I bit. I had reached my turn around point and was stretching my legs a bit... and there they were walking up the path to me. I stopped them and said "it's been so long, it's great to see you again." they all looked at me like I was nuts, but said it was nice to see me too. I really don't think they remembered me like I did them. Oh well :) Also stopped by the skate park that is on the parkway to say hi to my youngest son. He came over and gave me a hug even though I was sweaty and in front of all his friends there.... made me feel very good... what a nice young man :) 9:27, 12:41 (forgot to stop the timer when I needed a potty break) 9:45, 9:15, 9:07, .50 9:15

| | Ran the lower park of the parkway for a chenge... but there is alot of construction on that part and it was not good. I got the miles that I wanted... took it a bit easier on myself tonight. Hopefully I will be able to keep running on the parkway until it is too darl or too cold. I have really been loving it. |

| | Ran on my lunch break and LOVED every minute. There is something that feels very good to me when I run on my lunch break. Don't know why. |

| | Enjoying running trails with Sue... I really love this long fall weather we have been blessed with. Felt better today then last Saturday. Will probably continue to run this trail as long as we can before it is too snowy. |

| | Had an appointment to get my hair cut and colored. I don't know why I thought I would still have time to get a work out in.... but after 3 hours of sitting in the salon all I wanted to do was punch someone. I love my haircut and color... I just HATE spending that kind of time sitting. All I can thing about is all the things I want to do. |

4.3 after work, on the parkway and around the city. My knee was really buggy for the first mile or so, then started to feel better. I was way over dressed. I hate when I do that... and I have been doing it alot. It always takes me a bit of relearning to figure out what to wear when the weather changes. You would think after all these years I would have it figured out by now. |

| | Had some stuff to do after work so I opted to just run on the treadmill so I was not out in the dark. But I did get me a new headlight so I can run in the dark when needed!! Shins have been hurting, so I will get out my old compression socks and see if that helps. Seems like I just start feeling a bit better, and something else starts breaking... it sucks!! But I will not get down about things, so no more negative talk! |

| | Lovely run up the parkway. When I start out I'm running east, and the sun was setting enought that it was casting a beautiful pink glow to the snow on the mountains. The trees have dropped all their leaves and in some places along the path I'm running on a wonderful yellow leaf road. Then I turn around and head back west, and OMG!!! the sky was on fire!! You could see the torquiose blues of the sky behind the bright yellow/orange of the clouds. As I ran back the clouds changed from bright fire to reds and pinks, then lavendar. I stood outside the gym until the sun was set. It was glorious!! I almost fell a few times because I could not keep from looking at the sky. I think my average pace was at 9:28 or so, not to bad. |

| | Three on the elliptical, and lots of weight lifting. I really don't like doing weights be I know that I need to do more, so that is why I did more of that tonight. There was a guy there doing free seated massage, so I jumped on that. I have been having lots of neck tention and it seemed to help a bit. |

| | I'm not going to lie to you... I will not even attempt to try to get a run in today. I thought that I might just fill you with all the excuses I could think of.... it's 10 degrees... I have too much cooking and cleaning to do before tomorrow.... but nope I won't lie... I just don't think I will. |

| | My brother has talked about snowshoeing with me a few times but we have never worked it out to actually do it until today! I didn't take my garmin but we probably got almost 6 miles in. I also got my hubby to tag along with us. It was really a wonderful time! |

| | Needed to get out and run!! Even though it was slow and I needed goggles when I was running into the wind LOL But I felt better at least getting out a bit. I don't know if it's the weather or something else, but my knee has been a bit more buggy then usual. |

| | Four on the treadmill... my hip and knee were pretty painful tonight. I don't really know what is causing all the pain again. Maybe it's the cold...but it's really starting to get me down. |
