Tonight was just to be just an easy run, and I did pretty well, got my pace a bit fast when I was around the pond again... spooked about crazy deers. Also I don't think my lunch of chocolate covered pretzels was helping my run too much either. LOL But man they were so good. Sweet and salty crunchy and chocolatey MMMM.

I knew that I needed to run before work today, but I wasn't certain I would be able to do it. But when my alarm went off. I layed there and heard Sno's mantra "Don't think just go" I got up and dressed..."Don't think just go" "Don't think just go" I was out the door by 4:50 AM yep... the AM can you believe it!! After about a mile warm-up I got to a hill that when I read Carolyn's blog about hill sprints thought it might be a good one.... so I ran down and as I got to the bottom, in the street light checked my time and then ran back up. I did 3 hill sprints (don't think at my speed they can be considered sprints though) about 45-47 seconds on the hill. The run felt prettty good, I need to get new batteries for the head light if I'm going to continue in the mornings. Couldn't really track my pace too much because I could only see my garmin when I was under a street light. Don't know if this will be an every morning thing yet... but it is nice to be done with my run. Need to get some more sleep tonight .

My sisters are coming to my house tonight for some fun artsy stuff!

I have not slept too well the past couple of nights, I hope I can sleep better tonight. I also forgot my garmin so it was a low tech run. I wanted to do an hour but had some tummy trouble so I stopped at 50 min. I figured a 10 min mile was good.

My DH has never really had to do much to stay fit. He is a UPS driver so his job keeps him walking all day. But as we have aged he has put on a few pounds. We have made a goal to together help each other with some fitness goals. It's good for me because he dosen't buy the junk food like he used too. Also it's good for me because he gets me to do more weight training ( I don't really like it). Anyway tonight we went to the gym together. I did 5 miles on the eliptical and some weights with him. It was a nice date night :) The plan it to do 11.5 tomorrow so I will have a 40 mile week. Wish me luck!

I got a late start today...but I did get some better sleep so I think that helped. My right shoe has been getting a hole inside the heel. It was bugging the other day, so I taped up the hole with some cloth tape, well that did not help, in fact it made it worse! I have a big bloody heal now :( Also I need to start taking gels or something with me on my longer runs, my breakfast only lasted til about mile ten.
