Friday

Kwik Trip gal was very nice and agreed to run with me today. She redeemed herself.

I ran into Elyse at soccer last night. She is so depressed that I can't put her over the edge by referring to her as Beerhater. Seriously though, she got bad, bad, bad news about her hip. I will let her tell you, but I am still hopeful that the MRI next week will not reveal a problem much less severe than the suspected one. So, all of you out in Internet world, send positive thoughts her way in the coming week - even if you don't know who the heck I am talking about!

I realized yesterday when I was sitting in a very exciting meeting (not) that I had to get caught up on my running stuff....
1. Make reservation for Green Bay hotel
2. Sign up for Green Bay Marathon (maybe this should be #1)
3. Check to see when Twin Cities marathon registration opens (April 17th)
4. Make reservation for NYC hotel, just in case.

Blustry day

Today didn't go much better than Monday, so I will just say

DITTO

One of those mornings...

It was one of those mornings that if I didn't have a great group to run with I would have....
1. Not gotten out of bed.

If I had gotten out of bed....
2. I would have run 5 steps, stopped and went home.

If I had continued to run....
3. I would have seriously contemplated stopping and turning around the WHOLE, ENTIRE run.

If I had finished the run....
4. I would have done so with a 10:30 pace.

5. Even if I did finish I would NOT have been HAPPY about it.

But since I did have a GREAT group to run with; I did get out of bed, run, enjoyed nice conversation and friendship (much better than listening to my whining in my head) and finished with a 9:07 pace. Not a great pace, but considering how my body felt, I am very happy with it!

Okay - I am still not HAPPY about it, but do feel better for it.
