Gorgeous Day!

It's been raining SO much here lately! Seems like EVERY day has been filled with a downpour or 2. However, this weekend, the rain lightened up and the sun came out an along with all of that came a COLD FRONT!!! YAY!

I ran 4 miles today in the gorgeous weather. Days like today make me want to stay home all day and play outside!!!!

3.5 miles tomorrow night! Tomorrow night is also Howl-O-Ween at Pets Mart. I'm bringing Pixie in for a halloween costume contest!! She's going to be the cutest little bumble bee ever!!! :0)

Ran out of gas!

I went out this morning with the group and logged 8 miles. The way our runs work is we start at home base, run 6 miles, return to home base, then go out for 2 more miles. The first six miles were GREAT...then I got to home base and drank a little bit of water, ate an energy gel and started again. I only paused for like 2 minutes. OH my gosh the last two miles were hard! I got through them but it was hard. My hip flexors started tightening up. I tried to stretch them but it was awful! Ugh. Oh well! This is the 2nd time to do 8 miles and it wasn't like that before!

Also, last week wasn't the greatest running week. I was busy every night and only got to run on Tuesday night. I did 3 miles. So maybe that was the issue with today? Hmmm...

On a side note, WE FINALLY HAVE COLD WEATHER! It was amazing today! Low 60's ... cloudy ... it was great!! I loved it! I was freezing at first but I'd much rather run in the cold than the heat! (Louisiana cold that is...lol!)
