Hodge Podge For Five

Today was a five miler ...

Run Time: 01:08:37
Run Distance: 5.oo mi
Avg Pace: 13:43/mi

I dropped Megan off at pre-school and drove over to the YMCA that is near her school, which is in a part of town that I'm not all that familiar with. I put my stuff in a locker and stopped by the desk to ask which way I should run. I'm at the gym mind you, where people go to work out. The lady there was so funny, she just thought I was crazy for wanting to run 5 miles. Two months ago, I soooo would have agreed with her. Anyhow, she tells me I can run up 1st avenue ... or run to this park a few blocks over that actually has a running trail ... or even run in the subdivision right next to the gym. It turns out that to log 5 miles in I had to run all of the above. Thankfully there is not as many hills on this side of town.

Today's temperature was 90 degrees when I headed out, 93 degrees when I got back to the car. This is the hottest it's been while I've been running. I didn't like it ...

I miss you so much and am so proud of you! 57 miles!? You are such the stud muffin! Makes me miss you so much! Hey, can you send a little of that determination you have in a lil box to the Lone Star State for me? I quit inhaling the "mokes" and now all I want to do is eat. Better for the lungs, worse for the waist. But I am very proud of you, makes me want to run it all with you! Tx misses you and Jay! I love you! ~**dawn-dawn**~
