Sweet

I did 5 miles with Amy on Wednesday and they felt great. We had a great time chatting and the miles just slipped away. We ran around Gray's Lake and it was packed with people.


I hadn't felt that good during a run for awhile.


5 miles ~ 1:00:39 ~ 12:02 pace




Today, we did 10 miles in the sleet and drizzle.
Snow is in the forecast so we picked out a window and went for it.

Nothing like a girlfriend to help get you out there when it would be so easy to stay home and eat left over pizza instead. :D
Also, nothing like a girlfriend to keep you going when it gets tough.
They hurt a little more than the fiver.


10 miles ~ 2:15:10 ~ 13:28 pace


It's been a while since I could put a 10 miler in the books.
Sweet.

Even sweeter? Amy gave me my cool spotted Spibelt from Runner's Lounge.

Apparently I'm an active lounger.

Double Sweet.

Thanks guys!!

I think you gals get the though runner chick awards for running in sleet and snow and crap. (In April!!!)

I have a mere 8 to do tomorrow. Not looking forward to it in this crap.

Great job with both runs! Looks like your feet are holding up nicely now. As for the sleet, you can give that up any time you like. ;-)

Can I tell how good my beer, wine, chips and salsa and ice cream tasted yesterday and today?!? Yes, I pigged out like crazy. Felt like I earned it! Thanks for getting me through. I was thinking of you today - hoping your feet were still ok. Can't wait for the next long one.

Will the Spibelt make my abs look like that too :-D. Well worth the investment ;-).

The belt is soooo cute, sooooo you! Now you can carry that lipstick with ya :-D! I am glad you were able to do those great miles with Amy. I bet it makes it all the more funner. Yes, I love to use that non word. Great job with the 10 miler!!

Ten miles - way to go! I saw you won that spibelt - I love mine and use it to carry my cell phone in for my runs. It's so little and not bulky.

I laugh every time I see your banner that says "I want to be a runner" because, girly, if you can knock out 5 and 10 mile runs, you ARE a runner!!!!!

Sweeet! :-) I'm hoping Spring weather will come to stay for all my mid-western peeps :-)

Those were great runs, you should keep yer around for a while as a running partner. It would have been too easy for me to elect for the left over pizza rather than the 10.

Isn't "active lounger" a paradox??

Great 10 miles. Marathon, here you come!!

Sleet? What the heck? I would have definately stayed in with that left over pizza! And beer. ha ha.

Great job!
