bike and strength on tap today. First - grocery store.

Nothing got done. Got off work at 9pm and just didn't feel like doing it then. Need to do morning workouts otherwise there is a good chance they won't get done. :(

Found another mud run to do next Sunday - it benefits the local animal shelter, and a couple animal rescues so how can I not. It is also within 30 min of home. And it has a water slide obstacle - HOW FUN!!!

Off Day today - going to the neighbors for some food and beverages later.

Gun time is listed for yesterday at 1:03. Not sure what happened to chip time since we all had chips but I know last year the chips weren't working. This year I doubt they were since they had a guy at the end manually entering your number as you read it off to him. Not sure how accurate it was but I will take that.

We made it - it took us over an hour to do it but we made it - the rains all day and all night yesterday made some of the obstacles not the safest. Ground was either covered in deep hoof prints from cows or they had plowed it so it was uneven. We walked a majority of it to save our legs - we saw one girl who I think they called EMTs for that they were hoping didn't break her ankle and a girl toward the end that had a major limp. We didn't need that and wasn't in a hurry - my neighbor Jean who did it with me hasn't run in years so it was nice to get her out. She has been stressed with work so it was nice to see her smile again and she enjoyed it. I am officially a DIRRRRTTYY GIRL!

Getting ready to head North for the race here in about 30 min. We have had rain all night so I am not sure what to expect today except MUD! Dirty 30 here we come!

It is 8:19 and still waiting for the last work call to come in.  It is official - I registered for the half in November - took the other one out of the schedule in Oct so I have plenty of time to get up to 13. My friend Jen's sister Mary is the one doing it with me - it will be her first and she has a goal pace of 11:00/mile. The one I did 2 years ago I did around 11:30 so I think I can handle a 11:00. :) YAY for a training partner and a co-runner in the half mary :)

Also will register for the color run - Jen and Mary are going to do it with me - now just to come up with a name. The one we like the best so far is We Dream in Color :)

packet pickup, work and a nice walk hopefully.

Hubby got up at 345 to go fishing with two of the neighbor guys which is fine. Lucy was up until he left about 430 and that is her usual time to get up so I hoped she would go back to bed. She was back asleep in bed I think before Hubby left the neighbors. Sleeping good, heard Brian's watch sound at 6am which was fine, she moved but kept sleeping. I was headed back to sleepy land and Bo jumps up on the bed and wakes his sister up (he is on quite the routine to eat at 6am). Poooooo!

Bike and strength. Strength is a maybe - I can feel tuesdays and I don't feel like going into the race on Saturday being stiff and sore for the obstacles. :)

A friend's sister is doing the half in November and is looking for someone to run it with her. If she doesn't run as fast as her hubby (he just did a marathon in 3:42 with little training) I am willing to do it with her. She will be moving down here from Witchita soon so it would be nice to hopefully have someone to train with this time. Last time I did it all on my own. It would be the same one I did 2 years ago but they have changed the course and I seem to like this one from the looks of it better (no long out and back at miles 10-13) :)

SHITTY run - felt out of breathe and working hard before I got to the 1/10th of a mile mark. Couldn't relax, legs felt like bricks. Took 1 more walk break then I did on Monday. This doesn't bode well for Sat. Not sure what I am doing wrong but it feels trying to get to 3 miles again is tough let alone moving up from there. :(

Got a 2.5 mile run this am to do. Need to get it done this am.

Thinking about this 5K in July - looks like fun. Wonder if I can get any takers to do it with me :)
