Run away! BOO! Halloween week runs, 10/25/09-10/31/09

Ran 3 miles this a.m. on the treadmill at the Y. I like running outside better but trying to get my money's worth out of a new membership.

It was supposed to be a 3 mile run (til hot and muggy). Well about 1/2 way thru the lower GI started talking. So it was about 2.5 (ish) run.
I don't even know my pace or time. I had other things on my mind (sorry if TMI!)
This weekend are 5 & 6 milers. I'll be checking in later.

My friend is doing the NY Marathon this Sunday. She has tried to get in 3 times and so by default she got in. She has been training in this unbareable heat all summer long. So "Go Joann" (she is mid-upper 50's and this is her first!) Bibb#62813.

I was in Mexico from Thursday to Monday. Ran twice while I was there. Friday was my 40th birthday, and it just felt so *right* to get up and go for an hour long run first thing in the morning, before the sun was fully up. I've struggled a bit with this particular milestone birthday, so going for a run and reminding myself that I'm a young and fit 40 was the way to go. Plus, you can't help but feel attractive when you run in Mexico. Any car with men in it beeped the horn. Men waved or whistled. Sure, they do that to any woman, but hey. There are worse things than having someone whistle at you on your 40th.

Ran again Sunday and enjoyed being in such a warm climate.

My first run back this week was a bit of a shocker. It was 36 degrees and very damp. Fleece hat, gloves, long tights, wool top, a jacket.... Sheesh. Send me back to Mexico, please??!!

Heading out for another run in a few minutes. It's "warm" this morning. 54 degrees!

Susan,
I was just thinking about you this AM--hadn't seen a post in a while.
Now I know why!
I am past that 40 milestone, but now heading on the other side of 45 (yep, 46 in Dec.). I am struggling with this birthday more than any of my others so far!
So happy 40th and glad you had a good run day that day!

Happy birthday Susan!

I've done so much in preparation for 50 that I think it's going to be anticlimactic. I hope....

Happy Birthday, Susan. It sounds awesome! (Maybe you should have waited a couple extra days before coming back to the NW though )

No kidding. We deplaned directly onto the tarmac at PDX on Monday night at 9pm. The blast of cold wet air was like a physical assault. I went from swimming in a bikini in the Sea of Cortez that morning, to wearing multiple layers and shivering in the car on the drive home.

Funny thing, though.... Not finding much sympathy from anyone who wasn't there with me.
