Did mile repeats yesterday...only did three this time because my focus is on a 5K. Anyway, the last two miles were 5:45 and 5:44. I haven't been that far under 6:00 since high school.

My small victory for today is that I actually got out there in the woods and ran/walked/sprinted,and just plain had fun. Yesterday would have been a running day, but DH wanted me to work on a trail in the woods with him, So I did that, and enjoyed it, but it threw off my schedule. I was happy to get out there today, even though my legs are a little sore from the hill work yesterday.

Sometimes just getting out there is the biggest victory.

It rained here all day and I decided to get my seasonal flu shot on the way home. I almost talked myself out of running tonight since it was getting late by the time I got home. Fortunately the rain let up so I went out and ran an easy 6 which put me over 1000 miles for 2009. Actually ended up at 1001 since I made a wrong turn in the park and ran an extra mile.

I ran a mile this evening.

It was an easy mile. But it was a great mile.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I got up and ran 4 miles before work this morning. I'm not a morning person, but I've managed to do this twice a week for a few months now. It is just too busy in the evenings now to fit it a run at night.

Nice job! I find that working out in the wee hours of the AM is the only way I fit my workouts in as well.

Nice job Runnerclay!

I'm just in from the first really cold run of the season. 13.1 miles. I never felt warmed up. Meh.

The highlight of the run was coming home and having a stack of pumpkin pancakes waiting for me courtesy of my 16 YOU daughter.

I don't think Runnerclay has the recipe but I do.

Pumpkin Pancakes

2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons pureed pumpkin(canned or fresh) pumpkin
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with oil cooking spray.

Combine eggs, buttermilk, butter, pumpkin, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients.

Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet
ingredients and blend with mixer until smooth.

Pour the batter in 1/4 cup portions into the hot pan. Should form 5-inch
circles.

When the batter stops bubbling and edges begin to harden, flip the
pancakes. They should be dark brown. This will take from 1 to 2 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook other side for the same amount of time, until
dark brown.

Serves 3 to 4.
