HOORAY!

I just did my longest run since January of this year. Since I missed my run on Saturday I got up way earlier than I ever willing do and even without biting off my husbands head for waking me up I got up and hunted down all my gear and hit the treadmill. (I didn't want to carry water and I wanted to keep it a controlled pace.) So I pulled in my radio and listened to the Chunga show on 101.9 the end. I don't think one song was played the entire time but I did laugh a few times.

I did eight miles with a little bit of a cool down afterwards in 1:04:45. Which gives me a 13:05 average. Score baby! I am so happy, now I have to go clean my house before the sheet rock people come.

Oh Happy day...........oh happy day...............

That is great. Its always nice to up your miles and walk away happy. Keep up the great work. Are you doing the race for the cure this weekend?

I am doing the race for the cure this weekend. I will be running around town picking up a couple miles beforehand, I want a 5-6 mile run this weekend.

Are you going too Paula? My sis-in-law is a breast cancer survivor!
