Blessings and Balance

Kids!!! They are odd creatures for sure!

I can not believe you did 6 miles on the treadmill. I can not make myself do it. I do not know what my problem is. I guess I am weak!

I am recovered (but still running slow)---I will run with you anytime! We are meeting tomorrow at 6 am to run (the BBK group) if you are ready for that adventure. I am always up for something on Friday, too! Although, now I know that you are a skinny, tiny little waif of a thing, so I will be intimidated!

I actually was going to come tomorrow but my running partner wants to try and run in the morning. Her foot has been bothering her since SGM.

Anyway her husband leaves for work pretty early and so we don't have enough time to drive out to the trails. I am going to come sometime though.

You are welcome to come with us tomorrow. I am going for 8. She is not sure what she will be doing, it will just depend on how she feels.

I have seen a picture of you on your blog so you can't pretend like you aren't tiny. If anything I am intimadated to run with you... With your SGM time and all that went wrong you still beat me. I am going to have to try and keep up.

I am doing weights on Fri. but plan on running 10 on Sat. if you are interested.

I was looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. Please come another time!

Goodness, we have opposite schedules! Actually, I usually do an upper body workout at the gym with my husband on Fridays (he has Fridays off) and then some treadmill running. So, I guess I am back to that plan! Darn, I wanted to ditch him.

I was also aiming for 10 Saturday, but I can not leave my husband behind! I guess he could follow us (or lead us, depending on how he is feeling). I will check our soccer schedules and see when we were planning on and let you know! If nothing else, maybe we will pass each other running in opposite directions!!

Do not be misled by my picture---I have teeny legs (the one good gene passed down by my mother), the baggy shirt hid the rest! ;-)

Okay, we have a soccer game at 8 and one at 12. So, we will be running at about 9:30 is my guess. I am sure you will be all done by then! But at least I know it will not be HOT at that time.

My treadmill PR is 10 miles. One time I was in Boston for business and it was raining outside. I did not want to have wet clothes in my luggage, and I was also somewhat curious how 6:00 pace would feel on a treadmill at sea level. Other than that the longest I've ever made on a treadmill is 3, I believe. After that, regardless how bad it was outside, the outside has always been more appealing.

Kelli,

I need to leave to run by 9 am on Sat. My husband is the coach of our sons football team and I need to be back to help him get all the kids to the game.

This is the last game this season so next Sat. hopefully will work out. I don't mind running with you and your husband as long as it doesn't bother him.

Jody,

I was looking forward to meeting you too. Will you email the schedule for next week and I will make it a priority to be to atleast one of the workouts.

Sasha,

I think the most I have run on the treadmill is 12. I for sure prefer the outdoors but as a women it is hard to go in the wee hours alone. My husband would not appreciate me worrying him like that.

Plus I am terrified in the dark alone with all the "boogie" men.

I actually have had a bad encouter with a pervert while running with my mom early in the morning. My mom has also been followed and harrased more than once. SCARY!!!

Anyway you can never be too careful.

12 and 10 miles on the treadmill? Wow, that is like some kind of TORTURE!!! I met a lady at the gym who was training for St George on the treadmill (she does it every year). Her longest run was 22 miles and she is like a 5 hour marathoner. I was impressed. But she says she likes it becasue she has a toilet, a drinking fountain, people to chat with, TV to watch, a fan to keep her cool, and so on. CRAZY.

We will one day have a nice run together. We actually have one more week after this of soccer. And tonight is the last football game. I am so glad it is almost over!!
