Gettin' Old

s...l...o...w...l...y... but surely I'm crawling my way back up to a simple 15 miles per week. This summer has been so extremely hot and I found myself just laying in my lounge chair soaking in the rays much more often than my feet found their Asics.

Nevertheless, this September brings with it the familiar "Beat the Sheriff" 5k in Inverness. It's my favorite. I imagine that's because I seem to get my best time on that course. But alas, I don't think that will be the case this year, but I'm still gonna get out there.

This morning consisted of a struggling 3 mile run at an 8:15 per mile pace.

Gettin' old.

I See a Trend

Ok, I'm no genius. But, according to my calculations it's been a week since I've gone out for a decent run...and it's not really hard to see why.

I think it's because I stay up too late reading other blogs (but they're so good!), Pinning on Pinterest (which is a nasty trick of Satan's) and just plain wasting time on Facebook.

It's got to stop, because I can't win races without actually running. This past Saturday I did NOT race the Blessings in Backpack 5k. I'm going to stop posting about the runs I'm planning because when I do that...I don't run them!

I see a trend.

With that said. I will be getting up early in the morning and I will go for a run.

I'll keep you posted:)

6 miles

What a great 6 miler this morning! The weather is just perfect; it's hard to believe it's February! This is weird even for Florida!

I've got my eye on the Blessings in a Backpack 5k in 2 weeks. Last year was their first year and it was pretty small group. I'm sure it'll draw some more out this time around.

Thanking God this morning that my legs and knees are holding up for the long runs like today. So grateful!
