It's a new week

It's been an okay week, I think I am still recovering from the 12 miler w/ Don on Saturday, let me just tell you it kicked my butt! Don will never let you down when it comes to pushing you and always performing well, he pushed me all the way to my new PR 12miles @ 9:05 avg pace - No kidding - this girl can run, huh?!?! He made it look so easy, How does he do that? I think at the beginning we were both thinking this sucks, its 25 degrees w/ flurries, and we are out here - WHY? Because we are addicted, its our drug (well atleast mine anyway) - So w/ that said I think I am READY to run the March Madness Carey 1/2 on Sunday - those hills may not leave me w/ the time I want, but I have proved to myself in the training - that I can improve my time drastically so that is good enough for me :)

Getting ready to go run 4 easy miles w/ Amy & Liz - The weather is finally warming up, and w/ daylight savings its still light out woo hoo! This will be good, getting to do the 2 best things running & talking works for me!

So its an easy week on the running front w/ 9 miles this week - Ethan has his first Kindergarten music performance on Thursday, I cant wait to see him sing w/ his class - he is soo excited. My little boy has grown up so much this past year, I cant believe he is going to be 6yrs old. Where has the time gone? Well better go get ready to run......

Bring it on Hills.........

Well I went out this morning w/ a fellow runner Frank, he is a way experienced runner, so it was a good companion for the 11 miler I completed today on the Carey March Madness course that Don & I will run in 2wks. The HILLS were a kick ass workout, but they didnt kick mine - I kept my arms a swinging & my breathing steady, and finished the run @ a 9:38 average pace. My legs are feeling pretty sore right now, and I have some new blisters trying to break in a new pair of Brooks GTS 7's - but its the same size/model as my old ones - whats up w/ the blisters?? Ugh!!

Waiting for Don to get back from his run, and then we plan on taking the kids out to the mall - I am really looking forward to my evening out w/ Jenny & friends of eating & some cocktails/dancing - I definatly need to wear my comfy boots as my poor feet cant take my real cute ones the joys of being a woman! I am ready for the spring running season .........but it was beautiful running thru the hills/subdivisions w/ the snow covered ground & deer running all over - wished I had my camera on days like today - a beautiful running day regardless of the hills.

Enjoy your weekend friends!
