Running, followed by more running...

What a weekend. I ran. And then I ran some more. And today I am paying for all of it :)

Saturday morning was my 10 mile run. I was dreading it, my legs were tired this week and my foot has been sore. Luckily I have found a friend who is running the long ones with me and that makes it so much easier more bearable. So I woke up Saturday morning, got ready to run, I'm pretty sure the weatherman said sunny and warm all weekend, got ready to head out and looked out the window to see pouring rain, huge puddles and 47 degrees. Grrrrr. But we had already made the plans, so we ran. 10 steps in we hit a huge spillway and spent all 10 miles running with wet feet. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible, and with good company it went by pretty quickly. We ran 10 miles in 1:45, not to shabby for a couple of moms.

Sunday morning was the annual Trolley Run, one of my favorites. 4 miles, all downhill :) We woke up to what we had expected on Saturday, a gorgeous sunrise and beautiful weather. Ahh, finally.

This one we usually run as a family pushing the stroller but this year it was just us, kids were left at home (although we ran seperately, atleast we showed up together, he normally beats me). I ended up running pretty quickly for me, I looked up my results and came in 123/647 in my division, 670/4032 out of all women. That's the top 20%! I will take it! :)


And that explains why I feel like jello today.

Workouts:
Saturday - 10 miles, in the rain :(
Sunday - 4 miles, in the sun!
Today - cancelled my morning class, maybe a light walk this evening, need to recover!
