tonight was one of the good ones. Felt good enough to pick it up the last mile even in the heat.

On the road again...
I can't wait for fall...
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Glad to hear you had a good run last night Kimmie!
Maybe today's the day Lou? What an exciting time for you and PDR!
Sorry to hear your ac went out Paul UGhhjhhhhhh.
Well patience has never been a strong suit of mine. I made sure NOT to wear running clothes for my walk however I ended up running by the end of the first mile all the way to the third mile. Had to call it at 3 due to sun going down. I was fine with that. I just didn't expect to be able to get back to running so quickly. Not sure how far I'll go to day but this time I'll have running clothes on!

Debating about my long run this week... maybe you guys can help me. We're going out of town this afternoon to Louisville, KY for a wedding. It will be jam packed with family activities. I could try to get my long run in this morning before we leave... or I could attempt to do the long run this weekend... hoping there's someplace to run where we're staying and that I have the discipline and ability to get up that early and go.
I'm also a little worried that a long run and then a long drive might not be good for this cold that I'm getting over.
So, not sure what to do- The schedule says 16... last week was very little mileage due to being sick.
I kind of know from experience that attempting to run long while on vacation doesn't always work. And even though I'm 39, when my Mom is around and I go running, she paces until I get back and then wants to know why I can't just take a few days off. sigh
As for me I'm slowly getting better. Everything is nice and loose in my chest which is good. I spend most of the day hacking stuff up and by the time Ken get's home I'm feeling great! I was feeling a bit tired this morning and had decided to do my run later this evening however I think I may just go out after this post.

If you could find some way to express "Why can't you just take a day off of sticking your nose into my business" without it being rude -- well, then you'd be a genius more than most of us
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Just got back from a quick 8 miler. We'll see how much I can fit in this weekend.
Have a good one all!
Oh Mighty Wing
Kimmie - that makes me think of the struggle I had with my parents when I started racing all over...
so all I want is ice cream... more specifically fudgesicles... maybe it's because I still don't have the ac on...
Awwww, fudgesicles, now I have a fudgesicle-craving.
I'm craving good chinese take out mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Got in 2 miles of running this morning however about 1.5 miles in I started getting lightheaded and shakey. Stopped at 2 miles and walked the last mile. I ate before my run however when I wake up I feel like crap so I don't think I'm eating enough. That and I didn't eat that much since I ran last night. I've soooooooooo gotta work on getting my calories up enough without going crazy.
oh lady!!! I know it's hard because it's warm and muggy but you have to eat!!!! replenish those stores and feed your healing muscles!!!
5 and change today! Felt very good!!

I'm actually eating A LOT however it's clean so the calories don't end up adding up to much. Ken is on his way to pick up chinese food so I'm about to remedy that!
Did ya run in your new shoes and if so how'd they feel?
