45 minutes - no problems, medium energy ran early before it got hot. Supposed to be hot again on Sunday, my "long day." We'll see what gets done.

It's 90º today at it was 90º yesterday. It supposed to cool down tomorrow at which point I'll run. I thought the hot weather was over. poo.

45 minutes - 4.5 miles

It was an okay run. When I started, my ankles and one of my shins hurt but this went away after about 15 minutes or so. I told myself that as I was running, "It will go away. It will go away." And it did.

It was foggy out so thankfully I was able to go out early before the sun came out and it got yucky.

7 miles at Rancho

Well we ran the first mile straight to the farm. Then we ran flat and up hill to the hairpin doing a run/walk (8/1) then we went up the hill 1 mile straight up with one one minute walking break. I couldn't believe i did it. It was a great accomplishment but definately hard. Then we ran downhill 2 1/2 miles then 1 mile straight. My knee was hurting pretty bad by the end (IT band issue).

I think we'll be a good match. I've been doing a walk/run so to run straight will be a challenge. I'm excited to run with you too. We should do it a couple times those days that you're here.

I haven't run yet today (I'm waiting for my jogging bra to dry - last time I tried to run with a regular bra I got a nasty sore where it was rubbing against my ribcage) but I was thinking about how fun it will be to run with you when I get back. You'll be used to running further and faster than me so maybe I can be a second run for the day or an extra run on one of your days off.

Update: 45 minutes - not the most energy I've ever had, but I made it and about the same pace I usually do. Not super centered today, which made it harder and my shoes have all of a sudden started giving me a blister in my arch. I tried lacing the shoes tighter, thinking that it was because my foot was slipping, but that didn't help. I don't think it could be time for new shoes. These are like a year and a half old and I don't think I've put that much mileage on them yet.
