I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Had planned on getting up early to run before getting kids off to school because my daughter had an orthodonist appt. at 9:00 but could not fall asleep last night:( Rather than drag butt all day, I decided to go when I got back at 9:45. It wasn't too hot yet so it was nice. I decided to do an out run and not run back (had my daughter pick me up), to save myself from the mile long hill at the end. It was sooooo nice. I still had 3/4 mile uphill but it was in the middle rather than the end.

Got home and layed on the trampoline for an hour (in my bathing suit...love me a suntan:) with my daughter and looked at her yearbook. Ahhh, the simple joys in life:)

Laying in the sun for an hour sounds pretty darn nice.

Trampolines can get awful hot.
