Got my long run in, and frankly even surprised myself after feeling so under the weather yesterday. I just do a LOT better running outside than on a treadmill. I don't like the feeling of the treadmill, never mind the boredom.

The first mile today wasn't so great. Dog had to pee. I had to pee. Dog had to pee. Wore a shell and was broiling. Took off shell and somehow managed to pull out some very long elastic string out of it. Which dangled and annoyed the heck out of me. So I had to stop and try to wind it up and knot it. But once I got all the annoyances out of the way, the next 12 miles went well.

The last mile - - well for me, the last mile is always up this pretty long hill, so it's never fun. But it really is the only way to get back to my house! I trudged up it.

Overall, did 9:30's. Nothing to brag about, but that's how I was feeling today. I'm taking Sasha's advice and RESTING tomorrow.

You're right, we'd make a great running buddies! Let's get back to those 4:00 hour marathons shall we? There's a cute friend on the blog (Smooth) who is a 53 year old, 14 time Boston Marathon Veteran. He goal is to just keep her same pace over time. I'm all for that. I've gotten slower these days, but man, if it doesn't just get harder to keep a strong sub 9:00. You're luck you've got Mom's in Motion. That sounds like an awesome group of women!

That's great news! I don't know if I'm more impressed with your run, or the fact that you have a dog who will run that far! 9:30 is a great long run pace. That's supposed to be my "easy" pace.

My dog is amazing . . .lol. You'd be more amazed if you saw his size. He's only about 20 lbs. He's a cockapoo, and looks kinda foofy. Not the kind of athletic looking dog you might picture, but apparently cocker spaniels are amazing runners, and he's half that . . .he runs with me every day.
