9 miles w/ Sue today.  We ran to the gym & lifted as well.  I think Susan was afraid of how tiny my muscles are. :)

Ran 7 w/ Susan.  It was supposed to be a 10 miler, but I had to stop and walk at mile 7.  Susan was nice enough to run home and drive back to get me.  I've been looking online and I think it's  a grade 1 thigh strain could be a grade 2.  Time for some R.I.C.E for me.

Finally my hub will be home today.  He's been gone this week camping in the unitas.  I guess it was nice to get injured before he left so I would have two reasons to take it easy on the running.   I'm hoping to get a bike ride in today when he gets home.  I'm taking Leandra to HP tonight for her birthday.  She's already seen it, so I guess it's really a birthday present for me.

Sue & I found out about the Hanson Brooks Marathon Training project and we've decided to test it out. :) Today was a 10 mile marathon pace day.  We decided to do it on the TM to keep our pace constant and exactly where we want to be.  I did not run Sat or Sun b/c of my groin muscle, so I had a bit of extra energy today.  That and maybe it was all the candy & sugar I had this weekend camping. :) Either way I was able to keep the pace & finish.  However my muscle is still store...

68 minutes

16 w/ Suzanne Sommers & Rachelle.  Felt much better this week than last week.  I've been in a bit of funk since I hurt my quad, then my inner thigh and then an ingrown toenail...BUT finally this run felt good and I remembered I do like running. :)

7 outside with Suzy Sidewalk.  Who is Suzy Sidewalk?  Well I'll tell you.  One year after we were first married...or maybe it was just last year....my husband started to sing a Christmas Carol that went something like this...Suzy sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style.  I didn't have the heart to tell him it's City sidewalks...actually I did have the heart and I watched his poor face scrunch down and a single tear fell down his cheek realizing his childhood classic Silver Bells had been a fraud his whole life.  Jokes really people jokes.
