A little over 8.2 for me this morning.
I did it again guys. I woke up an hour before I was supposed to!! WTH. I realized it about half a mile in so I actually came home and tried to close my eyes for another 45 minutes. It didn't work obviously...went ahead and finished the run. I used to wake up at 4am for an 8 mile run PRE work from home days. That time is just ingrained in my head. Ugh, I am going to have to start triple checking my alarms. Anyway, the run was OK. As good as a run in 76 dewpoint can get...
Starting work a bit early today. I have to leave early to head to my first wedding dress fitting this afternoon!!
Is it bad that I already can't wait until bedtime?
Laura – Good for you for getting out there. Getting out of the door in the afternoon is the hardest part.
Judy -Oh no on the leak! A good way to purge some things 😊 Nice running over the weekend. Ghost stories?! I would enjoy something like that. I can never have any live plants..they will die. Maybe that’s why I shouldn’t have children?
Run4kupcakes – Hope you enjoyed the rest day! Sounds like you had some cross training. I will keep my eye out on Holabird! When I checked yesterday, they did not have the 23's available for purchase yet.
Happy Tuesday!
Good Morning!
3.5 this morning, definitely better than last nights awful run. Probably because it was 25 degrees cooler LOL
Just work today, date night tonight. Older DS goes back to college in two weeks, crazy!
Lizzie - I love that you can just wake up so early, ugh I struggle before 6 am. Wasn't so bad the months when the sun was up but I definitely don't want to get out of my cozy bed. What time do you go to bed? I try to hit the hay by 10 pm.
Probably travel today for some in person contacts, I don't want to sit in this office for 10 hours!
3.4 miles this morning--hip was sore but not as painful so I was happy. I tried to stand up at my desk as much as possible yesterday, and did some stretching--maybe it helped?? Will try to do that again today. My trip to Dallas was really annoying--it hurt to sit so long.
I love a good steak.
I usually wake up before the alarm, but can go back to sleep most times.
Have a great day!

Now we are talking! My favorite cut of meat!
I have the 7 I didn't run yesterday.
Liz, that would be something I wouldn't do, lol. I start waking up at 3, 4, and 5 but I know better than leave the bed.
Laura, nice run!
Susan, glad the hip is not too painful.
Damaris
Liz - Ugh, on getting up too early! IF you decide to have children you would be a great mama, just look at how good you are with Ruger! Plants are hard...LOL.
Laura - Beautiful running weather this morning! Do you have any races coming up?
Susan - Glad you were able to get out for a run with minimal hip problems!
Damarias - September for your move!!!! Wow, that is crazy! I’m sure Indy will be gorgeous this fall! Can’t wait to hear how you like that!
Strength training for runners class last night....it was quite the work out! Hill work run this morning with RB.

Congrats Damaris. My SIL lives in Lafayette near Indy so perhaps I can visit some time.
Sue as a chronic pain sufferer I'm sorry your hip has been bothering you so much.
I love filet.
WINE o'clock somewhere!
Damaris, that is SOON!!! When are you going to head up to Indy?? Have you found a house/condo yet? Are you going to buy right away? Have you told the kitties yet? Can't wait to hear all about it. And your OUTDOOR running escapades. OUTDOORS, wahoo.
Filet, yum. Miss my favorite steakhouse in Portland and their yummy filets. And lobster mashed potatoes.
Hi to everyone else.

7 this morning, will get another 3 or so tonight with the group running hills. Some little dog destroyed the remote while I was out running. The problem with him is that he's really good 95% of the time, so then we get careless (and the we in this case is DH) and do something like leave a remote control sitting on the couch. The website says to just take your broken remote into your nearest Xfinity store and get a new one.....I guess I'll try that.
DH also got up an hour early this morning. Dogs were bugging me to get up and I thought I'd slept in since DH was almost ready for work (he leaves at 7). It was 6. I let the dogs out and fed them and DH comes out, notices it's still dark outside and says "am I up an hour early??"
Liz, exciting on the wedding dress fitting!! It's hard to believe it's only two months away. It still doesn't seem that long ago that mammal was telling you that guy was involved with someone else. Man, I bet you're glad you're out of that work situation, eh?
Laura, glad this morning's run was better. I try to go to bed by 10 too, since the dogs wake up no later than 6. Last night I was in bed at 9:30 though!
Susan, I bet the standing and the stretching helped a lot. All that sitting and driving would be hard on anyone, but especially if you've already dealing with some hip pain.
Damaris, I'm so excited that you got a move date. Well, a start date, I guess the move date is implied. Can't wait to see what you find house hunting up there.
Carol, strength training for runners class? That sounds both painful and awesome. I need someone to offer that here.

Yeah super excited!
I read something in FB about Sandy’s father. Thinking of you, Sandy.
Laura – Nice run this morning! Have fun at date night 😊 Some of our public schools have already started around here! Crazy that they started before college! Well, I didn’t wake up an hour early on my own..it was by an angry alarm haha. I usually go up to bed around 8:45 but don’t fall asleep until around 9:30 (social media scrolling).
Susan – Nice miles this morning. Glad the hip was feeling a bit better.
Docket – I hope you are feeling better! Have a good run!
Carol – Aw, thanks for the vote of confidence on being a mama 😊 We will see what happens..How are you liking the strength training class?! How does it compare to Body Pump?
Hi Diane!
Hi Kathryn!
Karen – Nice run this morning. Hills? I saw your temps..ugh. Oh man, sorry about the remote. Hopefully its an easy replacement! Laughing about DH! Did he go back to bed? OMG, yes! I am so so glad I am not in that work environment anymore. I don’t miss it for one second!
Sandy - Thinking of you!! XOXO
Have a great afternoon/evening everyone! I am outta here soon.

I'm stunned beyond belief. My cardiologist says my valve is worse than last year and wants to see me in six months. But I'm still not exhibiting symptoms so he didn't say I had to stop running although he looked in disbelief when I told him I run for 24 hours. Ok. We all know I walk most of that. Now I'm beginning to wonder if my decline in running ability is tied to this or just a coincidence.
Sandy....I am so sorry you're going through this. My heart aches for you

Can you ask him about that specifically? He should be able to tell you if running is making the valve worse; if not, maybe some other cardiologist or specialist know?
And yeah, could be you have to work harder now with the valve being in worse shape.
Damaris, I didn't ask him, but he did not tell me to stop running even after I nearly gave him a coronary when he asked how long I run. I said anywhere from an hour to 24 hours. Omg the look he gave me. I don't know if he thought I was serious or jokin . Lol. But he didn't say to stop. Honestly? I didn't pursue it too far because I didn't want him to tell me that I can't run my Woodstock 100k. Plus I still have dreams of a buckle and I didn't want him to ixnay it. Anyway, the only fix is surgery and he said that unless I have symptoms they won't even pursue that route which is totally fine with me.
That all said, I will make a followup with my family doctor whom I'm overdue seeing.
If it was that serious, I think he would've said stop, no? Or at least that's how I would take it, lol.
