Tonight was a pretty good run... knee felt a bit wonky after 51/2 miles, so I probably shouls have stopped at 5, but it was not bad.

Well my Garmin battery died about 1/2 a mile into my run so I don't know my pace, but this was the same route I ran last week so I know the miles. In fact I ran just a bit farther but I'm not certain by how much so I just left it at the 6.2. So I don't know my pace...but I can say that this run felt quite a bit better then last time I ran it. :)

The snow stopped just in time for me to get my run in after work :) It was a pretty good run... shins were just a bit buggy. I need to be icing more. Any way I'm not going to complain about all my aches and pains... I'm just to whinny.

Didn't sleep very well last night. The plan was to park at the gym, do my run then go into the gym and do some weights, stretches and abs. So I have been having some emotional runs, don't know why but sometimes I just get teary. So I thought I might as well have a good reason to get emotional, so I ran to the cemetery were my friend is buried. 1.5 miles to his grave, had a good cry for a bit, then ran around the perimeter of the cemetery, and through all the cross streets for another mile or so. Then around the neighborhood. and back to the gym. All in all a pretty good run, a bit slower then yesterday. When I could finally pull myself together after his death the cemetery was my first run, in fact I think it was my first few runs. So it was kind-of nice to do it again. Makes me miss him alot though.

* My friend was an old school skate boarded, besides a runner. There were skate board wheels at his grave, I later found out that my son was the person that left them. :)

Had a pretty good run tonight. Got a later start then last night so I didn't have time to go into the gym and do some weights. Most likely I will be at the gym tomorrow, so I will be able to get some weights in then. It is suppossed to be snowing in the morning and I just don't think I will have it in me to do it alone.

Today was hard, I went to the gym and trudged it out on the treadmill. I'm so ready to have the snow gone. I think my lack of good sleep caught up with me today, either that or I"m not as healed as I thought. 

My oldest daughter is coming over today with the grandkids to make valentines cookies. 

Hope everyone has a great valentines day with their loved ones.:)
