Ran a few on my own and then met the girls for our usual run. Right calf felt a alittle knotted to start but warmed up by the time I met up with my friends.. Had turkey burgers last night and put maybe a touch too much garlic in them so this morning that is all I could taste was garlic, not a taste i want first thing in the morning!

Ran with cheri and Jeff, (we took off and left Bill, he was in the parkinglot but I thought maybe he had slept in, sorry Wildbull!) My right leg felt tight and tired today, did squats and lunges the other night and had not done them for a couple weeks, so I think that was the culprit of todays tired legs. Ran just a steady pace, not too fast not too slow. I really need to do start doing more consistent tempo runs.SG is only 2 months away!!!!

Got up earlier and ran 4 miles before meeting the group, ran 6 with them and then added on a little extra. Felt good today. Felt cooler than usual today. Stomach a little upset, note to self stop eating dried pineapple rings at night, does not sit well on stomach for morning run!

Went to meet my friend early but on the way there got a text saying she would not be making it so went home and waited til it got a little bit light outside and then headed out. Felt pretty good today, had some good hills in todays run and my leg felt pretty good as well. Pushed the pace in a few sections but wanted to be careful to not over do it with my leg tightning up a little this week. Tomorrow going long and if I dont get a killer cramp again like last week I hope to really push it from diamond valley to the church.

Ran with Cheri and Marissa. My kind and lovin' husband was so nice to get up at a quarter to 5 and drive us up the course so we would not have to go back and get a car! What a sweetie!  We took the first bit pretty easy and just enjoyed some chit chat and talking about years past of marathon training. It now feels like official SG marathon training to me running with those 2 gals! Yeah! Plus the "true church" (our nickname for it) where everyone meets to go up the course was jammin with people today. Tons of runners on the course. Marissa ran just 10 with us. At our 12 mil water stop cheri drank some accelerade (she thinks it was old and bad ) and it made her very sick so about SC I took off to run to go get the car and come back (she ended up throwing up and felt much better and high tailed it in) . Here are my splits 6:55, 6:51, 6:58, 6:25, 6:24, 6:39, 6:43. I was really hoping to get a few sub 6 but I will try for that next week.We drove up 22 but then I felt good I ended up running home which added 1.5 extra miles and I just took it pretty easy. It was pretty muggy out and I have been guzzling water since I got back. Now I am off to go pick up my pre ordered copy of BREAKING DAWN and I will be reading the rest of the day. SO SO EXCITED for this book!!!!!
