Running

I met up with Josse, Rachelle, and a bunch of girls from "up north" to ring in the New Year with a 14 mile run on the Murdock Canal Trail.  It was so fun to run with everyone.  I ran with Josse for the first 12, but I started feeling the effects of little sleep from the night before. I also just bought new shoes, so my legs were adjusting to a different shoe.  (I have been running in the Altra Torrins exclusively since June.  I absolutely love them, and I am actually going to be a wear tester for Altra.  I desperately need new shoes, but I am in limbo until they send me my first pair...SO, saucony it is.) I would post my splits, but...my kids have lost my watch for me. Again. The second time this week.... Anyway, I averaged a 7:44 pace. The first mile was an 8:37 and the last two were 8:06, so the middle 11 were somewhere in 7:30 land.  It was a really fun run.

Today's run was not so hot.  I was so tired when I woke up, and I just didn't have any energy.  I met up with Jen, Mac, and Aubrey.  They were so stinking fast today!  I think Mac and Jen were easily in the low 7's and I was huffing and puffing behind them.  I averaged about a 7:48 and felt so BLAH!
