We Run...and Then We EAT!!!

Had an awesome long run this morning with 16 fabulous ladies!!! We ran in the mall parking lot, on the main highway, and in a HILLY neighborhood! So much fun! I was a little worried about the long run since it has been two weeks since I have run a long run. But I was fine! We ran 10 miles in 1:46:17 at an average pace of 10:37!!! I am pretty proud of that pace for 10 miles...and on hills too!!! After the run, we headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and to have a meeting about our race! The Sole2Soul Sisters' first race is in a week!!! It has been a lot of work but well worth it!!!

Run With The Girls!

Brrr! It was cold out today! But it was my first run with the girls in two weeks! I forgot how fun it is to run with friends! We started out at an easy pace and then picked it up at the end. We ran 4.3 miles in 43:48 at an average pace of 10:11! A great run to start a great day!

Windy but Fun!

Why do I always end up running in wind??? Ugh! Otherwise, the run was awesome!!! I ran 3.51 miles in 33:52 at an average pace of 9:39!!!

Sickness is Gone...Running Time!!!

Yep...I got the flu from my boys! Both boys ended up with the flu and I think I had a small dose of it or my body was fighting it off. I ended up missing my long run yesterday because I started running fever again Friday night. I felt so much better yesterday and today so I decided to go for a run. I set out to do 4 miles but was feeling so good that I went ahead and did 5! I ran a different route today because my normal route has too much traffic this time of day. So the new route included some hills. I am pretty proud of my pace since I have been sick this week and haven't ran in 5 days! I ran 5 miles in 50:26 at an average pace of 10:05! Felt GREAT to be back out there!!!

Windy and Humid

Running against the wind is no fun! And breathing in humid air is no fun either. But I am glad I got out there and ran. I ran on my own this morning because my youngest son has the flu...I did not want to run with my girls since I have been exposed to the flu virus. Don't want to get anyone sick. Hoping being healthy helps me to stay well too. My poor little guy is miserable.

I ran 4.01 miles in 40:49 at an average pace of 10:11. I must say that the run was a little hard for me. I was out of town all weekend so I haven't ran since last Thursday...that's 5 days between runs. And that much time between runs is not good for me...I have to run closer together or I seem to lose my speed and energy. Got to get back into the groove...Rock 'N Roll Mardi Gras Half Marathon is in 3 weeks!!!!!

Brrr...I Am STILL Cold!

I haven't ran since Sunday...I was really itching to get out there despite the 20 degree weather and 15-20 mph wind gusts. Yep...I am officially CrAzY! It was sooo cold out there! My lungs were freezing from breathing in the cold air...and that made it really hard to run. But it's done! I ran 3.11 miles in 31:05 at an average pace of 10:00. And this run was a struggle! Not sure if that is due to the cold air or the fact that I haven't run in 4 days.

No long run for me this weekend. I am going to Birmingham with some friends to celebrate my best friend Rhonda's birthday. I will miss that long run!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day! Now I am going to try to warm up!!!

First Light Marathon Relay!!!

Sole2Soul Sisters Relay Team! Christina, Katrina, Me, Jennifer, and Laura

This relay was soooo much fun!!! I ran the second leg of the race...and I am pretty darn proud of my pace lol! I ran my 5 miles in 48:37 at an average pace of 9:41!!!! I cannot believe I ran at that pace for 5 miles!!!! Whoop whoop!!!


As a team, we finished the marathon in 4:24:34! That's a whole lot faster than I could do it on my own that's for sure! AND...we found out the next day that we placed 2nd in the women's relay open division! Too bad we left before the awards...we would have won something! This relay is a definite race to run next year...it was a blast!!!


Hmmm...can I say I have run a marathon now??? Nah...I guess not lol!
