I'm sick with a head cold and jacked up my back yesterday doing a 4 hour carpet cleaning project (it's only half done). It hurts to even walk today I really hope to run tomorrow for AIM! I didn't pull a muscle or anything, I'm just really sore.
@Elise4270 Great war paint pic!
@JessicaMcB Congrats on your race!
And congrats to everyone else - I'm on my phone and it's hard to scroll and find all the names I should tag
Big hug to @HonuNui today2 -
@greenolivetree I hope you feel better soon.1

Second run of the day, but this time the sixteen year old didn't want to join me. My six year old did, but given the walking he was doing today, I said he could run around the block with me, which he was really happy to do. That was my warm-up, lol...and boy is he chatty when he's running!
So once I'd dropped him back off at home, it was time to put in some nice easy miles...four this time. Along the way, a kid asked if I would high-five him, so I stuck out my hand and we high-fived as I went by. He called out thank you, and said I was his hero, so I raised both arms and let out a loud WOO-HOO before carrying on.
Other than that, it was a nice easy run, but keeping the heart rate down was a challenge given the caffeine I've consumed today.

9.27 miles in the rain tonight. Husband said before I left, “You’re going to get wet.” Thanks Captain Obvious. I swear he thinks I’m going to melt whenever I run in the rain.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Ten mile run today. It's four weeks to my half-marathon, and I'm concentrating on building distance rather than speed. I was hoping for an average pace of 10:15, but I was a little bit slower and actually averaged 10:34. Not too bothered though. My pace for the last half I ran six years ago was 11:15, so I've definitely improved.8 -

Looked down at my calf when I put on my sneakers this morning. Here's what I saw.

Got my AIM run in. I know a little late, but done. It was ok. Temps were great, sun a bit bright and my stupid sock fell in my shoe. First official running injury...lol. I'll post a pic a little later so @HonuNui can put it in her collage. Of the medal/ shirt... not the blister.7

I need to catch up on the thread in a bit.
Skip and I went to Shorter University Friday night for a college tour on Saturday. She meet with the XC/T&F coach in the morning, he had a meet about 15 minutes away but came to talk to her first. He was amazing. Told her all about the program and himself. When she told him her times (which he said he already knew) he told her he could take minutes off her 5K with his training at Shorter. I was impressed with him and the way she handled herself. He took us quickly to his office and to show us the indoor track they use when the weather is bad. She was introduced to 3 members of the team as "our new recruit", she was over the moon. The tour was great, she loved the school. We went to their football afterwards where members of the T&F team that we met introduced to her other students at the school, talked to her about the team and life at Shorter. Awesome day.
Since we didn't get to run yesterday we did our 5K for SPAM, we went out to where her meet is going to be on Tuesday since she hasn't run there in a couple of years. I had the worst run since I can't remember when but got the 5K in.
Off to read!
