:(

Not going to get to run today.  :(  I only have a 2 hour break today and it has been taken up by everything!  Meetings, dropping off paper work, and somewhere in there I have to find time for lunch.  Bleh!

Rest day

I keep having to tell myself that I have to take a rest day between runs or I could re-injure my knee.  Today was a rest day.  wonderful rain was falling so at least I didn't feel like I wasn't wasting a great running day, but wasted the time I took to do my hair this morning.  It's 2:10pm, last class of the day (only class of the day actually) then I can go home.  Finished one of my papers.  One down, one to go.  Both due on Friday.  Unfortunately the easy one is the one I finished, now I have to finish the very in-depth and detailed one that is due first on Friday.

Feeling Great

I was itching to run all morning, but I had to go to classes.  So as soon as classes were done (and the honor society meeting was over.  I'm now the new VP!) I grabbed a quick lunch and headed to the track.  The thing I love about the track I run, its a 3/4 mi track.  Two laps around and I have my 1.5 miles or I can do more, but the main thing is, bigger track fewer laps.  I ran 0.5 miles of my 1.5 mile stretch today.  Then after my little one and I got home we went for a short job together.  Just around the circle, just under half a mile.  It was a good day and I'm feeling great about it!

New Running Partner

Well I have a new running partner... My kiddo!  She is training to run the one mile fun run that the local running club (which we will soon be members of) puts on at many of their races.  She had so much fun.  The area we run near the house is almost a half mile around, she finishes that but could still keep going!  We would have gone around again today except she tripped and got a couple of boo-boos.  But she's tough!  She finished running out the last little bit, even with her new boo-boos, with a big smile on her face.  She had a blast.  Apparently, it happened at almost the exact same place she had jumped and fallen yesterday when she was running with my Mom.  Wal-mart didn't knee pads for a kid as small as her (almost 4), so I bought 3 boxes of jumbo band-aids.  Whether she has scraped knees or not, she's going to have a band-aid on her knees before we go run on the weekends.  The cool thing is, that the jog is very light, so I was able to jog the whole thing, almost half a mile!

Ipod found!  Note to self:  Make sure all pockets of backpack and purse are closed, or else the Ipod will disappear again.  Found just in the nick of time, about to go mow the lawn.  It goes so much faster when I have music to listen to.

Great day... For the most part

Today's workout was great.  I ran two1/4 mile sections and did 1.5 miles total.  Feel wonderful that I was able to run 1/2 mile even if it wasn't consecutively.  I'm sure my knee will begin the protest later, but I picked up the big bottle of Aleve on the way home.  Tomorrow I have a full day of classes, depending on how things go in my last class, I may or may not run tomorrow too.  Tried to donate blood today too, but sadly my iron was too low.  Sucks!  I really wanted to donate blood.  They are collecting blood for the victims of the tornado outbreak last night.  My prayers go out to all the people affected by the tornadoes in MS and AL last night.

Now its time to work on my presentation for tomorrow.  Bleh... I really don't want to...

Rain...

We go weeks with little to no rain and then today, it pours.  Tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same.  It was probably a good thing that I didn't run/walk today since my knee was acting up, but I was kinda looking forward to it.  Even if my ipod is MIA.  On that note I have to say thank goodness for FM radio on my phone.  Hoping that it doesn't rain until after my workout tomorrow.  Can't wait to have some good lookin' legs for swim suit season.  May be too late for this year, but I can still get them in better shape before the season is over.  This weekend... crawfish boil and pool party at my bestie's.  Gonna be a blast!
