Running in circles....March 24th-31st

[KSH]

Ran 5 miles in 51 minutes on the treadmill tonight.

Bottom of my feet hurt. Very odd pain.

I got it done though.

Hi Guys. I ran my first 5k ever today. Yep, technically it does not count as a first because I have run off the bike so many times in tri's, BUT i have never just gone to the starting line with the "runners". It was so much fun. All of my newbies runners from the group that I started where there running. They all did great!!! It was windy and cold, but very sunny.

I am pleased with my time 26:11, and I am hoping that I will not pay too big of a price later with my knee. I am attaching a picture of my friend Jackie and I . She is in my group and has trained really hard. I am really proud of her.

I have to shrink the picture down, I will post it as soon asI get it done.

Happy Runners. That is me on the left and my friend Jackie on the right.

Nice to see a pic of a fellow TE'er!

I did 5km this morning. It was cool out but sunny.

Later did 40km on my road bike. Oh I can't wait until it gets warmer out!

RnR girl -- congrats. That's a great time for your 5K! I wish!

I haven't posted about my runs this week because they haven't been a lot of fun. We got our dear new Boston Terrier puppy last Saturday (see avatar), and I've been so busy and exhausted taking care of her. I managed a short trail run on Tuesday and a short treadmill run yesterday (both about 3 to 3.5 miles), but that's it. Fortunately, that should be enough to maintain fitness, but it's kind of sad to see that the past three weeks I've run a lot less than the month or so before that. Oh well....progress comes in fits and starts at times. The weather is just too nasty to run outside this weekend, so I will have to set my sights on another treadmill run at the gym (it's at my workplace) on Monday. Then my biking buddy and I are hoping to go on a mountain bike ride Tuesday after work when it warms up again!

Emily!! Paisley is home!! It's OK to not run, she'll won't be this cute little ball of puppy love for and you don't want miss those moments. Well, maybe the sleep deprivation and cleaning up accidents part, it would be nice to miss those.

Emily,
I would gladly skip some runs for that cutie! She is adorable!

Treadmill runs are hard. Great job on getting it done!

What a cute puppy! I love puppies. They smell so nice. Yes, that's an odd comment, but puppies, like babies, just have this wonderful smell... and I have a very sensitive nose so smells matter a lot to me.

*Running Confession*

I had a 1:40 run scheduled on Saturday. I skipped it. Didn't run a lick. It was overcast but not raining. I was just a lazy slug. My coach is going to be b*tching up a storm on Monday.

On the upside, I went to the grocery store, spent time with my boyfriend and took a 2.5 hour nap on the couch. Heavenly!
