Ran with Cheri on the trails and through town, probably overdressed but was glad I did at one point because there is a spot on the bike path by the river that the temp drops. I dread winter coming. So techincally I am supposed to be taking it easy so I didnt run yesterday, was actually planning on it but got to bed late and then decided to just sleep in. Usually I cant feel my lower ab til about mile 6-7 and its usually just a dull ache nothing painful but today it started to ache/burn in my quad the last couple miles. I will scrape it tonight and see how that helps.

Ran with Peg and Heidi and then added on 5 after. I am going to the cannery this morning so I had extra time to add on after. I wish I could do that everyday. Felt pretty good. Still waiting for that run when i just feel "awesome". Havent had an "awesome" run since before the marathon and I am so missing that feeling!

Jody is in town so she met me over at my house and we ran 3 mi down to the swiss days 5k start and ran some faster paced miles. Felt better than I did last week on it. I missed one of the turns and then ran up a wrong road and back down and then ran too far down and then had to turn around (sorry Jody!) I lost my momentum there, got going again and finished up feeling pretty strong. I defintely push myself harder when there is someone in front of me that I am trying to catch. 5k ended up being a little long today:) 6:45, 7:12 (this is where I missed the turn and stopped trying to figure out where I was) 6:45 and and 6:45 for last 1/2 mi. Then we ran easy home and then I added on another 3 mi around my house. Nice to get some fast miles in but I still feel so out of shape! Some tugging/pulling in lower ab last 4 miles.

Had a very fun run with Peg, Heidi, Cheri, and Jody. Ran our usual 10 mi route and then Jody and I added on 2.5 min route loop. I keep feeling better and better so hopefully I am getting close to feeling back to my old running self and motivation. Only slight tuggin in lower ab last couple mi. SteveH showed me some stretches to help me and hopefully it will continue to feel better and better.
