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. :)

New shoes today. It's amazing what a difference they make. I guess I didn't realize how trashed my other ones really were but when I got the new ones I noticed my old ones have completely worn down tread. I think I've been in denial on how bad they were. 

Ran switch backs up NC and then waited for Erin at the top. Stacie came running up behind her and so we talked at the top for a minute then Erin and I ran up the trail for a bit and Stacie took off in a different direction. Erin was running extra slow today. Then when we turned around and started running back down NC, she stepped it up to 9:30's..whaaaa???? I asked her what got into her and she said "I just want to be done." Well..whatever works. I was happy to see that speed in her though, maybe she's on her way back to at least the 10's. When I got to the light, I saw Stacie turn the corner and run home, I had to wait for the light so I was a bit behind her, she must have been going pretty fast. So Good Job Stacie! GET High.

I'm NOT talking trash!! At least I don't mean to be!! Heaven knows I'm not speedy AT ALL!! So for me to be talking trash about a slow person wouldn't be cool!! I was just happy she kicked into some high gear for a bit today, it was fun to see!!

oh and Stacie

I just turn right at the first street off of NC and then run over to Willow and back to NC and then back to willow on whatever street..just to make more mileage before we get to the top. That's all I mean.
