Our family has grown to 3 as Mike and I adopted a dog this weekend! She is about 2 years old, and a German Sheppard/lab mix. Very very smart, very sweet. And very energetic! We have gone for a walk And this morning she went for her first run with me. A nice easy four…

I woke up feeling like I had just done an IM or something. The bottoms of my feet felt almost bruised, my knee was achy, and my legs just felt generally heavy. It hurt to straighten my arms all the way, and I could have slept for a lot longer. It was a tough weekend……

It’s all in the sunburn. Not a bad one as I’ve been liberally applying sunscreen (with a desire to avoid what tan lines I can when I wear my princess dress). But still a bit of one. Where? Only on the inner edge of my arms and by my thumbs. Guess that part isn’t used…

So Marky told me to zip it about the rain. But it didn’t end there. It poured and then was nice and sunny and warm at lunch and then pooooured this evening. With lightning and thunder! So I ran to the car to leave, of course during one of the strongest downpours of the day,…

Rain? This late in May? Well, as long as the lightning stays away it will be good for fire conditions. It is pretty poouring right outside my window. And it wasn’t raining at home, just work. Guess those light colored pants and no jacket or umbrella wasn’t the best idea!

More focus this year. Not on just doing, but on improving. On building speed, so that instead of having a long run I have a strong long run. Sometimes it hurts. As I started my run this morning, I really thought just stopping and stretching for the hour would feel so much better. But while…
