I got up and decided to just have fun this morning   I took our dog, which I don't usually do because he is lazy and you have to drag him towards the end. I hoped he could hang on for 4 miles.  He made a nice companion.  I even left the garmin at home so I could just do whatever I felt like doing pace wise.  I felt like during the running, I was keeping a good pace, but I stopped to let the dog drink and swim in the river, so overall it was slow.  I super enjoyed it tho.

Skipped yesterday's work out because my feet hurt.  They still hurt today, but I couldn't just stay home so I went to Gold's.  I ran about 7 of the 9.5 miles and then had to walk. Yuck!! Reminds me of being pregnant.  I hate walking. I hope a pair of new shoes will get me feeling better soon.

It was a little freaky this morning.  I passed a yucky looking guy smokin a cigarette sitting on his bicycle on the river trail in the dark and trees.  As I passed, he said, "Hey Sweetie, you seen a rotty running around here?"  Well GREAT. Now I have wierdo on a bike following me and there is a loose rotwieller running around.  I didn't even bring my pepper spray today.  So I hopped on the next trail that takes you to the tennis courts because there was bright lights and lots of people playing tennis.  I just ended up running loops around that area, keeping people in my vision the whole time.  I had hoped for a longer run, but that kind of through me off today. Average pace:  8:10/mile.

Today is my son's sixth month birthday and I celebrated by running 20 miles.  I had that goal all through my pregnancy

 I did the first six on the treadmill this morning at a 8:30 pace (I am so slow on the treadmill.) Then Lily and I ran the river trail once for another 4 miles and those 4 miles averaged 7:15.  Tonight I went out and did 10 more that I averaged 7:47. 

I am so happy to be healthy and strong.
