A Fun Life At All Paces

Back in the Saddle Again…………….

Well I am 3 for 3 in planned runs this week vs completed.  Been a long time since I have been able to say that!

Conditions this morning were fantastic….60 degrees, partly cloudy, slight breeze. I love running when the weather is SO nice.  The course I ran today is down by the river so its flat and some of it packed gravel.  Really enjoyable day to be outside.  Only issue I had was one time going up a very small hill I felt serge of quick pain in my heel…..so I tried to slow it down a bit, though my pace today – 12 minute mile – is about where I like to be.  Very happy with that….of course I won’t lie, would love to be at 11 or 10 minute miles, but I can’t go too fast too soon or else can end up hurting myself.

Ended my run on a sad note…..I dropped my daughter off at Church preschool which is the same parking lot as a church – and just ran from there.  When I was coming back into the parking lot, police cars.  A couple vans had been broken into…..not mine thankfully thought I do  keep everything with me in my trusty Spibelt – that little thing holds a ton – had my phone, small wallet and keys.  Totally doesn’t bounce either.   As I got back into the van, was happy I didn’t have to deal with that….and chugged my Coconut Water….my new beverage of hydration!  All natural and good for the heart….perfect!

Got a 5K race coming up this weekend….hopefully will be a new personal record, not that I run a lot of races, but would love to get out of the 40’s on this one. I don’t THINK it will be a problem and the last mile is pretty much downhill, so hopefully will do well and not hurt myself.  Got my W*I*S*H shirt in and thinking I will sport that bright green lovely along with my yellow Team Sparkle skirt.  I will be easy to find – that is for sure.

Here’s hoping my planned runs vs executed runs streak continues.
