Yes!! I did it!!! Ran 8 miles outside!! Had to walk at the really bad, uphill part on the hill probably about 1/8 of a mile, but whatever.  I am happy I made it most of the way... that hill is a killer.  

Dear Eola Dr.,

One day I will own you.

xoxo, Me.

Didnt make it the full 8 :( Not cool.  Very windy out and Frank was being a real jerk. He pretty much pulled my arm off twice because we saw other dogs out.  Its like "WOW, another dog I'd better run as fast as possible towards it so I can sniff its butt.  Even, though I've already ran about 6 miles I still need to pull Rachael's arm off."  So I had to cut it off short a little. Oh well I'll make up for it tomorrow I guess.

Ran through the hill and didnt stop once on the hill! I am so happy! I'm sure I looked as slow as a snail but nevertheless it was the first time I didnt stop up the big hill. :) 

Approx TT 50:00 ? Didnt really keep track...oops.  I am ordering the garmin today.  AND looking forward to the next 2 days off from running.

So far runs have been better than last week, hopefully I will feel really good tomorrow on my long run. Its the only day that is supposed to be nice this week so it should be nice to run outside.   Excited for my first official race this weekend even though is a shorty!  I am curious to see what my average minutes per mile is.

TT was around 37 mins.

 

Ran 90.65 miles this month and I feel pretty good about that. :)
