Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Total Distance
9.80

I'm counting it as 10 in my head bc I was just short of it. I started having some potty issues at about 6 miles but just tried to ignore it. At about 9.3 I knew I couldn't ignore it anymore, I cut a corner short from where Stacie was going to finish and ran home. I figure if I really want to make up the difference, I can run down my street and back later. Whatever. It was a cool dark morning when we left at 5:30a.m. The moon was incredible. Full and yellow. Beautiful. I love the cooler weather. We ran our usual up for the first 4.5 miles and then turned around and ran the exact way back home and finished around the neighborhood. It was nice to avoid all or our usual hills today and go a different route. It's always good to change it up a bit.  Ran with Stacie the whole time and talked, it was nice. ALL of my kids will be gone ALL day today to school. First time I have been alone for an entire 8 hours during a school day since they were born 12 years ago. I'm not quite sure what I will do. I was thinking of walking around my house in my underwear all day and laying around and doing pretty much nothing. Because I CAN! Anyway, HAPPY RUNNING!

I can't help but feel a little jealous. Someday....that will be me. Hey. I think I pretty much wrote the exact same thing you did today. Funny. Good job this morning. Don't worry, be happy and enjoy your day alone you little stinker.

Nice run runner. What a luxury to have 8 hours to yourself at home. You've earned it. Keep those curtains closed! Lol!
