Ran DOWNHILL with my best friend this morning.  She is wanting to do her first ever half marathon and it is a lot of downhill.  She keeps getting told by people that downhill runs are the worst.   Seriously, who are these people?!?!?  I tell her they are the best!!  So, we went out to do a run this morning and prove all those other yay hoos wrong!  It was really fun, and felt good to get out, especially as I hadn't run in a week with all the moving stuff going on.  Unfortunately, I forgot to time it, but it was okay.  By myself, I could have gone a lot faster, but it was fun to do a run with her.

Ran 4 miles up to the grain bins again this morning.  3 cars passed me.  Must have been rush hour ;)  I was a whole minute faster today than on Tuesday, so that made me feel good.  Hate that big hill, but I keep telling myself it's good for me - where I'm going, there are NO hills :)  So, enjoy it while I can.  Gotta find me a longer route for this weekend. . . hmmmm. . .

Woke up with an upset stomach this morning.  Decided to try to just sweat it out.  Ran my 4 miles up to the grain bins and back.  Knew I was going slower than normal, but didn't realize just how slow till I checked my time when I got back.  I was a whole 7 MINUTES slower than yesterday!!  Wow!!  Guess I really was feeling rotten!  And, don't think I sweat it all out either, unfortunately.  Felt really drained when I got back and thinking it's gonna be a long day.

Originally planned on a longer run this morning, but after yesterday, that plan had to be set aside.  I was down most of the day yesterday, and while I'm feeling better this morning, I'm still feeling a little weak.  Don't know if I had a bug or if it was just something I ate the day before, but it got me good yesterday.  Hope to be back up to par on Monday and can get some good miles in next week.

I'm back!!  Well, mostly.  Felt a bit sluggish this morning, but did my 4 miles in 36 + this morning.  Not quite as good as earlier last week, but still good for me, especially with that hill!  Gotta enjoy that hill this week as much as I can. . .

Tired this morning.  I think my body is ready for a change from that hill :)  I was an entire minute slower today than yesterday.  I should probably take tomorrow off, but I think I'll wait and do it Friday, then do a longer run with my honey on Saturday since he will be back.

Felt too tired to run this morning.  Went for a 2 mile bike ride instead in the evening.  I should really add biking to my repertoire more often!
