Well......... (long one)
I had switched my schedule 4 mlier and 7 miler aroudn d/t long meeting at work. So yesterday was supposed to be the 7 miler...but I am so darn tired and I have in-laws and sister coming in (1st arriveo n Thrusday) and a X-mas party to decorated and prepare for AND clean house! So I stayed in last night to get things done! WHEW!!!
So I got up early this AM to get my 7 miler in. (NOt sure when I can do the make up 4 miler...so I may be 4 miles short this week).
I was pretty slow to start..but I kept telling myself it was OK and maybe slow 7 miler was good. About mile 3 I picked up and I was pretty much RUNNING the last mile to get er done! So 1:18 ish...not bad. Bit over an 11 min mile avg. (Did I mention it was humid, we are expecting that rain adn those storms. So starting to get muggy!)
Then a few comments were made to me on my run today and not sure what to think of them. Since I started running at 6 and although there are street lights, there are dark patches. So I run w/ my head lamp. (Love it!). So 2 guys were running adn one sad "nice light". So was he being a #@% or was he serious? Hmmmmm I wonder. Of course they were wearing grey and no lights at all. Peopel drive like bats out of heck in that neighbor hood.
Then I was nearing the end and this woman was walking toward me. She was a bit fluffy, but she looked like she was out to do some serious walking. As I ran by she said "I'm impressed". So what did she mean. Was she impressed that a short, stocky, non-running looking type was running? Or was she impressedin general that I was running? Or that I was fast? (NOT!).

Happy running to all!
