Another on under our belts

I know that Jill has been checking the blog every 5 minutes to see if I have posted yet. So, I made it my top priority so KT would get something for the money they are paying her.

3:15 - 21 miles - 9:17 pace. My pace fell of the last 4 miles when the voice of Judy kept on creeping into my mind - "It is not how fast you run, just time on your feet". Funny, when Larry talks about keeping negative thoughts at bay, I am sure he wasn't referring to Judy's thoughts. Actually, I felt pretty good throughout the run. Of course, slowing down my pace probably helped.

It was a beautiful morning to run. Too bad my sister in law didn't make it. Apparently, 2 alarms isn't enough. I will have to ask her if she has been having secret conversations with Wendy.

Thanks to Wendy and Jenny for slowing their pace down for me and putting up with me! Done! Good Luck Sandy and Jill!

Glory Be!

Glory Be - MIKE showed this morning. What a wonderful way to start the morning! I know that there will be a lot of other runners (Jill) who will be disappointed they missed his appearance. I didn't feel so neglected when even his cousin had a hard time recognizing him!

Sandy has taken over lead responsibilities. She has become a speed demon - thanks to interval training (hint, hint to all you whiners). We had a nice quick run of 8:43 this morning. I am sure the cool weather helped too!

Mike's appearance game me such a warm and fuzzy that I think that I need not say more.

First Day of School

I think today was one of the hottest days this summer! The news just said that yesterday was the hottest day of the summer! It WAS a mild summer!

The hot morning and first day of school made it a hard, hard run, but we did it. I noticed that no one was wondering why we weren't doing intervals..... and I sure wasn't going to bring it up!

Good Luck to all the moms trying to get kids out the door for the first day.
Good Luck to all the teachers in the group!
Good Luck to the kids who have to endure a very hot first day of school.
and THANKS to Jill, Arnie and friends for a great party to end the summer!
