Circles and Squares

I got up early and ran around the neighborhood. It was suprisingly nice and I enjoyed it. I saw what Anya is always talking about with the sparkly frost. Very pretty. I tried to go on Monday but we just didn't feel like it:)

Oh yeah-- Jeff wants to get a treadmill-- who knows if we really will but he's all paranoid about me running in the dark all the time. I really like this idea, I would still run outside all the time (D and I can do this togetehr an we enjoy it) but it would be nice to pop out 2 miles every morning in the warmth of the house. I'm going to stalk Craigslist maybe I'll find one I liek.

This was actually an awesome run, I started to go for 4 but I just kept on until 8, Denali noticed at Mile 6 and decided she wanted to go home. I paused the Garmin a couple times and forgot to turn it back on, but I think I might have gotten 6 miles accuratly. Yayyy it gave me averages anyways!

I'm ending the night with Sex and the City 2 --- FAIL. I'm serious so far this movie is NOT living up to my high expectations.

2 miles with D, she slept the whole time. It was warm and nice out, I ate a ton of peanut butter and soome corn chips before I left the house so I felt a little icky, but still nice. My calves were tight from yesterday.

3 miles with D in the BOB, I'm stiff, oh well. I did a bunch of sitting stretched firSt in hopes of loosening up my muscles.

On another note I got to see my sister and my SUPER, DUPER HANDSOME nephew today for an hour while they were made thier way to their lovely new home in honolulu. It was the 1st time they met Denali and she totally loved them, she gave each one a breast exam looking for milk:) My brother in law Chris probably could have done with out his bonus boob inspection.

Jeff and I are celebrating a wonderful day with Round Table pizza tonight!!! YAYAYAYYAY!!!

Really wasn't that into running today-- all I can think about is ice cream, gummie bears and vacations... I think I'm goint to take a shower and then go to the mall where I can obtain a dish of fat, sugar filled ice cream topped with an entire Halloween nights worth of treats.

Seriously first I will get vanilla and top it wth oreos, butterfinger and gummie bears, then black cherry with caramel and cookie dough and of course more gummie bears.

5 mile with Denali I pushed the BOB up that huge hill on 228th, seriously its porabably a mile long. I used to walk up it pregnant, I ran the whole time, I was very proud of myself.

4 miles with the Bob -- felt good but not as good as yesterday:( My calves are tight ALL the time now except on days that follow rest days. I have been stretching them out frequently during the day it helps a little. It doesn't hurt or anything I just prefer to feel loose. I'm super excited I made a runnig date with Nicole and Denali tomorrow evening and one with Anya on Saturday!!! Yayyy:)

I think these time would have been a teeny bit faster but I was fightig with my Zoot running capris the ENTIRE time. They kept riding down where the crotch was mid thigh it was super frustrating. I have only worn them a couple of times and every time I wear them I'm reminded of how much I dislike them, they are just so uncomfortable. I have had them for 3 + years-- they are the worst running capris in the world. I like the Adiddas that I normally wear and have several pairs of so much better(too bad they were all dirty).

5 wonderful miles with Nicole and she pushed the BOB it was nice to have a break and so nice to run with conversation.

2 walking miles with Denalii up the hill. It was nice and dry out:) Tomorrow long run with Anya and her running group in Enumclaw!!! Yayyyy! I was scared if I ran tonight I would have too many miles too fast. Tomorrow I plan to run 7 with Anya in the morning and 2 later on with D. Should put me at 23 for the week wich is still 5 more than last week and my all time high!

Run with Anya and group from Enumclaw. It was very nice to run out here with beautiful views of Ranier and other mountains. It was complete with horses and cows, every one we passed was so nice and Anya and I had great converstaions the whole time. I got to meet June and Anna (girls Anya runs with in the mornings) super nice.

I got a boob ache- seriously like a side stick but my boob which had us walking a couple of times for probably 30 ft. It was funny but a sign that I may need running bras that fit better. This run was a lot faster than I am used to and I can definitly tell now that were done, I'm pretty depleted but  take that as a sign that I'm building on my times and getting better. :)

I had planned on doing two more miles at home but I can't I'm whipped. I actualy took a nap and I rarely nap. It was delightful!!!!

Torrential rain and serious wind. Still it was nice and somewhat warm considering. This run felt refreshing and fun but I didnt want to keep nugget  out in the elements too long.

Next day I think i broke my toe:( I migth be a little dramatic. 

Nice run in Texas I inteded to go farther but I found the 75 degree temps too hot and I could'nt hang. My toe feels better though-- note to self start earlier.

3 miles in McKinney Texas. It was nice and there was a cool wind blowing. The highlight of this run was seeing two cowboys ride through the subdivision:) I would have ran farther but I just didnt have the energy for it.

TEN MILES WITH THE BOB!!!!! :_)

Running trifecta

    1. sleepy, sweet baby

    2. it wasnt snowing, raining or blowing wind

    3. I fueled my body with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups:) yum

I started with 10 in mind but I told myself to settle for 6, the conditions just seemed perfect so I kept on with it. Very nice-- my only concern is that it was really cold today and I dont know that I should have Denali out for 2 hours in 37 degree temps even bundled up on the stroller with all her blankets and the cover. I checked her temp multiple times and it didnt get too low so I'm pretty sure she took it in stride.

1:54 minutes total, as of now I estimate my Half marathon time to be 2:25.

3 miles-- it is snowy and icy, and I feel like a little too cold for D.:(

Yayayyayayyay Golf Course Loop, very nice and crisp and I even did "Speed work" seriously:), I used the virtual partner on the Garmin and ran and 8:14 mile. Just one and then I walk/ jogged back but it felt good and was easier than I thought it would be. To be completly honest the first .5 went by so fast I couldnt belive it, the last 500 ft seemed the worst. I really like how it tells you what you have left not what you have run. I wish I had stepped it up just a teeny bit for the 8:13!!!

Sad day I actually wore gloves and I lost one of them during my fast mile:( It was neon green and made of yarn total value $.50. Still I really liked that bright green glove, I hope I find it.

I want the weather to improve, I want summer to come and I want to be running with my freinds all the time again. I want this all to happen now!!!!:)

Run with Anya and the Enumclaw group. It was cold but beautiful outside, I really liked the location of this run even though half of it was up hill. The times reflect me taking a couple walk breaks up the hill and we took a couple breaks on the way down as well.

Anya's left knee was giving her trouble( I hope if feels better) and my legs felt dead (not sure why- I loaded up n Swedish Fish before we started).

I met a ton of other women which is so nice and they invited me back:)
