Live Well Laugh Often Love Much Run Fast

Did well this morning -only had to walk once - made the first hill in record time

Could have run more - ran out of time- busy busy busy

So we have had company in town the past few days, my body requires sleep, I havent had much the past week due to the Olympics, now with company......ahhh

This morning as Im in bed, tired, debating if the kids really need to be woke up for school, if I really need to go to work, all while thinking "theres no way I can run today" I remember Lucia's words  "2 miles is much better than 1 mile and even better than zero" So I jumped (well lumbered) out of bed and rode my bike on a trail right by our home.  That way I got a few miles in and was home energized and ready to make breakfast and start car pools all before the stroke of 7am.

I ran with "the Wednesday morning group" this morning. Rolling out of bed at 4:50am is WAY too earlier for me, but I not only managed to get up, I ran my best run today!!  YEA! Now for all you pros, 4 miles isnt much, but for me to only walk once up a hill was Fantastic (I usually walk twice)  Im really proud of myself, if I do say so!!! 

I have a little route I do, its straight, down,  then straight.  This morning I ran the opposite direction, so I ran up the hill instead of down it.  Had a good run - glad to be out

With reading everyones miles/splits I have been wondering how fast I can run a mile.  So I rode my bike to the track and ran a mile. 9:41 not bad, However, I couldnt have keep running, I had to walk another half mile just to catch my breath.  But I felt good about it.  I got out of bed, rode to the track, ran, walked and rode home.  Not bad for a Friday.

3 weeks ago I wouldnt have even thought about getting out of bed after the night I had last night (no sleep) (and no it wasnt because I was having fun).  But, I want to log my miles, so one mile down, 19 to go this week.

My lack of sleep has gotten the best of me.  My mind was willing but I woke at 3 with a sore throat, Im sickkkkkkkkk.  ahhhhhh!  Hope to feel better for tomorrows run. Water ..Water.. Water..Positive healthy thoughts..................

The only thing that has been running in my life this week is my NOSE!  After spending 5 days in Apsen, getting lots of rest I am finally starting to feel better today.   I hope as we drive back to SG the congestion will lessen as we lose altitude.  Good job to all my running heros who have continued to run run run!

I did go on a few hikes this week and was able to really enjoy Aspen.
