Born to Run: Week of June 19th

I had an awesome run on Saturday. Did 7km but felt like I could have run a marathon. Better than my painful walk.run that only lasted 3km on Tuesday.

Isn't it amazing how it cycles back and forth?

I had a fantastic 6 mile run today. It's one of those days when it all came together and I felt like I had control over my speed and over what I was doing. It was a FAR cry from friday

I always know it's a good run when I have enough energy to talk to the birds/dogs/insects as I go by.

I think my weekend runs are good because I'm not tired. When I get up early to run on a weekday morning, I'm stiff because I just got up. When I run at noon or after school, my legs hurt because I've been on my feet all day. But on weekend mornings, I'm rested, and I have time to wake up and loosen up. It'll be interesting to see if most of my runs are 'good runs' when school gets out next week and everyday is a weekend!

Had what was supposed to be a 3 mile run, quick and including sprints last night. This was after the 34 mile ride earlier in the day and sounded like plenty to me!

Finished that at the end of my trail (near my house)... and there was a weirdo coming towards me -- very untrusting, leering sort who just stared at me strangely and made my skin crawl. So, I turned towards my street, but instead just kept walking past my house (DH is not home, & I didn't want stranger to know where I lived...). I walked about 5 houses down thinking that he'd be well down the trail and I could turn back, but when I glanced over my shoulder, he was right behind me

So dog and I jogged 3/4 mile further down the street, turned onto another street and went to a friend's house. Chatted for 20 minutes till I was sure he was gone, and headed back home. No sign of him then.

So, my 3 mile run turned into more than 4 miles. I may have been being VERY paranoid, but better safe than sorry! The dog was not impressed, hungry and tired and just couldn't understand why we passed the house!!!
