We're havin' a heat wave!

It was a beautiful day. I took the boys for a run in the middle of the day. I thought that I might pass out from the heat (62*). We stopped at the park for quite a while to play. Then, we stopped to pet a horse. Thank goodness for all of the stops! We had a good time, but it was hard to push those little stinkers in that stroller (which is starting to fall apart).

like running on a sea of marshmallows

Good run with Carol in my NEW SHOES!!! They even have red accents - Go Utes! I cannot believe the difference! It was WONDERFULLY comfortable. Just wonderful.

Get it in gear!

Easy run after four days off. No, I didn't run long on the weekend..... 'Thon training is not going well....

Must. Run. Long. Tomorrow.

Today's run was an easy one since Carol has been nursing a sore hip and back. The skies sprinkled on us early on and again at the very end of the run, but we managed to stay relatively dry. The wind was not really much fun at about 10mph.

Brrrr....!

Another solo run today. I've GOT to do a long run this weekend, so I'm sticking to short-ish runs until Friday. So, I just did the Liberty loop. It was pretty chilly - especially for the shorts that I was wearing!

Spring Snow

Ug. Solo run due to hip pain for Carol. It was snowing - the kind of snow that seems to hit you in the eyes no matter which direction you're heading. It was too cold and wet for just a technical shirt, but it was too hot for a technical and a fleece. I ended up stripping off the technical at mile one and just wearing the fleece - probably still too hot. The snow was just wet enough that it quickly combined with my sweat and dripped off the end of my nose the entire time. (At least that's what I'm saying was dripping.... YUCK) I was going to do 7 miles since I missed my long run last week and then took three more days off, but I was DONE with the snow, so I cut it to only 5.5 miles.

quick solo run

I had a solo run today as Carol has wrenched her back somehow. I did an easy 4.5 miles on the Liberty loop. It was chilly, so there were only two other runners out this morning. I have a long run tomorrow, and my painful arthritic (?) toe was hurt again on Tuesday, so I didn't want to push it too much today.
