A blustery morning with CU Gals, Jenny and one of the cousins. We were all feeling our pace run at the beginning. Jenny and CU Gals decided not to run long and I didn't get any takers on my suggestion to do hills. Hmmmm . Wonder why?
By the end of the run everyone must have been feeling better because, CU Gals and Jenny decided to go another 1.5 and I came home and surprised myself by doing a mile speed work on the dreadmill. I think I was able to do it because I could tell myself it would be over in less than 9 minutes. I didn't bail even when I found my Ipod out of battery power!
So, due to my extra work out - no additional humor today.

Tom
There you go Tom, I mentioned you in the blog. I just want to make sure you life is complete.
Now, that that is over - Mike and I ran our 14 mile pace run this morning. We achieved a 9:02/mile pace. Man, it was a struggle for me. Mike was very patient with my sudden needs to stop and have a drink of water, which conveniently would happen as we were going up a hill. To our credit though, we took a hilly route. I think of it as the Judy route, since it was on of my first long runs and I was with Judy and it goes out by her house. A loop around town with BC thrown in and then out 16 to old 16 to the end and then down that county road to the railroad tracks and back along the interstate. It was a little hard to see the potholes and cracks in the road that early in the morning, but no twisted ankles.
Remember to have Larry in your thoughts and prayers today since it surgery day. I am confident he will come out of the surgery with a smile on his face and some sly comment to Judy.
However, no matter how bad you feel after a surgery or after a hard run, you probably don't feel as bad as this guy. Although he remembered to get his beer - so it couldn't have been that bad.

April Fools
No prizes today for best April Fools day joke. I guess the wind was bad enough. I fully expected Mike to have something up his sleeve, but nope! I was so disappointed that even though it is April Fools - I have no interesting tidbit of information or humor to share today.
However, I learned once again how much you discover about your friends when you are enduring a 3 hour run with them. Sandy and I had many deep and soulful discussions during our 19 miles together. She told me a goal of her and even though I promised to keep it a secret, I found it too inspiring not to share. If you ask her, she will definitely deny it, but she intends to really step up her fitness regime. Ultra? 50 state member? Ironman? "What could it be?", you ask. Well - as they say - a picture says a thousand words, so here is her goal:
