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.

Met the BBK's this morning for the Parkway Palisades Hill Run. This was the first BIG workout. We did about 4 miles of warm up REALLY slow (but it felt GREAT) probably about 9:30-9:40 AP. We started the speed by doing 4 strides to get the blood flowing:) Followed by 2 of the 1 mile long hill repeats @ 1/2 marathon pace. Then we did a 2 mile tempo and 2 more sprints for about 200 yards each and last, a mile of cool down. AP for the actual work out was around 8:05-8:10. I forgot to turn off my garmin last night so it was deader than a door nail this morning so I am going off of Julie's watch. I felt GREAT today! Thanks Kelli, Julie and Nancy for keeping me company:) Oh, and my hubby joined us after the warm up. I didn't expect him and he ran past me and slapped my butt. I thought someone in the group was getting really friendly.

So much for hopping back into bed!

You did great, you look great, you are great!

Now, I am headed off to the gym to try to regain a little muscle! Have a good day!

You are so sweet! Julie and me are planning on Saturday. I just talked to her and she said it sounds great. Look at you heading back to the gym. Next week is my week (the kids are done with swimming lessons) for me to head back to the gym and start getting up earlier.
