Still not getting enough sleep :( But it was an OK run, my shins are not hurting as much...but my legs are very stiff and heavy feeling especially my calves. They get tighter and tighter during my run, don't really know whats going on with it.

OK tonight I'm going to bed early I promise! ! 

Thanks to all your wonderful advice here... and Carolyn's link I figured out that my easy runs needed to be much slower then what I was doing, and I think I will take Marion's advise and do some easy runs for a week or more to try and get feeling better.... So tonight I did 1 mile on the eliptical to warm-up then 5 miles on the treadmil, at 10:20 pace. After all this snow I wimped out for the treadmill.

We had a power outage at work so I got to go home even earlier the I had planned. Today was Parent Teacher Conference so I was planning to leave a little early but instead it was almost another hour earlier :) !!! Today was a beautiful, I parked at the gym, then ran around the city... My husband and son don't like me doing this... afraid I'm in bad areas, but I have black pants, red jacket, blue hat, green ipod, so don't I cover all the gang affiliated colors? They should consider me like Swiss, I'm neutral :) The weather was perfect, sky was bright blue. It was great! I had to really concentrate on making it an easy run. I wanted to keep at about the same pace I was yesterday, but I had to really make myself slow down. Shin bugged a bit towards the end but nothing real bad. I will ice it tonight.

Pretty good run, shins bugged just a bit, just a slow easy run... well pretty easy, I probably should have took it a bit easier, but when I'm outside and it's so beautiful it's hard to slow myself sown enough. But I did pretty good. I'm not really looking forward to the race tomorrow, so keep me in your prayers tonight that I will have a pain free run.

Well I felt pretty good about today's race until I looked at my time from last year. I'm 61/2 minutes slower then last year... AGHHH that sucks so bad!

The race was pretty good, my main objective was to finish feeling good and that was accomplished, so in that fact I'm happy. Also I knew about all the hills so again my goal was to not have to walk too much on the hills. Mission accomplished again!! When I was almost to the top there was a guy pushing a jogging stroller that passed my on the down hill like I was standing still, so when I saw him running the big hill at the end I made the goal to pass him... and I did !!! So there were some very good things about it to.
