So this morning I was not feeling well (my husband , a few co-workers, and tons of my patients have been sick) when I got up to go running so I made sure there would be at least two people from group there to run and then I hopped right back in bed and did not feel bad about it at all!

But dont worry I did get my run in after work. I ran up to the SG Running Center from my house (1.43 mi) and then met up with the runners there, we went on the SC parkway trail. I was with some of the guys for the first mile or so and then they took off so I was on my own from there ( I tried to keep them in view on the way out). I felt great , usually when I run at night I struggle a little cuz my body is not use to it and Im tired from work. But this run I really felt fantastic except for my hamstring was really tight.I felt like it kinda held me back from what i felt capable of tonight. I had to stop and stretch it a few times. I turned around when I got 5.15 out so it would give me a little over 10 to go back to my house. On my way down Valley View my husband came up along side me and gave me ride home (he was worried about me running in the dark) so my run got cut short a little, but good enough for me.

Yeah for sleeping in! Hope it helped you feel a little better. I hope to be able to run by myself for that long and stil feel great after. Nice new pic by the way!

Jeff-

Hey it was great to meet you too! Hopefully I will be able to make it often on Thurs. That was a good push from you guys!

Bethany-

Somedays ya just need to sleep in:) As much as I love running, 4:45 comes awful fast and early! I love seeing the progress you are making, and I love reading your entries. You are a good decriber of things!

Yeah, sorry about that... I was just being an airhead and was late. Next week, though, I'll be early. ;-)

From Ruthie on Thu, Nov 29, 2007 at 22:54:06

PS - I LOVE your picture! What race is that?

Ruth

I hope I can make it, they changed the time to 5:00 for december and I get off at 5 but sometimes a little earlier. I will push it to get there though!

The Snow Canyon half marathon.

hey my tongue is sticking out too, but not quite like your pic! (I love your picture!)

Great having you there last night. Sorry I didn't officially introduce myself, but I was too busy throwing my own little tantrum.

From Dustin on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 at 13:11:29

Good run, I had to turn back early and didn't have time to hang around for people to get back.

From marciej on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 at 17:59:39

Dave and Dustin,

It was fun to put real faces (not pics) to the names. I hope I will be able to make it often on Thursdays, it would be a good push to "chase after" you guys and maybe you could give me some good tips.

Hey Marcie, Was this run supposed to be a hard day or an easy day? It seems like you are always running hard. If so, that would put extra strain on your body. I am not sure, but I would think that your easy days would be about 1 minute slower than your marathon goal pace. Just my two cents.

From marciej on Fri, Nov 30, 2007 at 23:35:17

Michelle,

It was supposed to be a harder day. I had very easy runs Mon-wed and last week the only day I had where I put a little extra into was when I went with Ruth. I have tried to take it pretty easy since the SC half, it beat me up pretty good. Thank you for your "two cents" I value your advice and everyone elses:)
