Ran with Frankie, forgot to charge my Garmin so no splits, no time and no actual mileage!  But I ran the usual 4.25 loops with an extra little loop around some houses.  Felt wayy better than last Saturday, but it was VERY hard to get my self out of bed this morning!

Just realized how whimpy 3 splits look. Oh, well.

Last lap would've been faster but towards the end of the run Frank saw a cat in a field and decided that he NEEDED to chase after it. So, pulling my arm off and me with him off he went.  And off I went straight into a huge light pole and he would'nt stop so my head/ear and wrist slammed into the pole really hard.  Now my right wrist hurts really bad and it's swolen.  So, I trotted home sobbing and wanting to kill my dog.  I couldnt stop crying when I got home, Jordan thought something really bad had happened to me or Frank got hit.  I dont think my wrist is broken, I think it's just bruised really bad.  Frank is so horrible sometimes, I dont understand it. He might need a shock collar. 

Anywho, off to Chicago for a sales summit, I hope it's fun.

To run or not to run today?  This is the question I am being tortured with!! Feel like I need a day of recovery after the terrible travel shenanigans but I also will feel guilt if I do not... ! :0

I'm a little suprised by my splits, I felt like I was going so slow.   It was soo warm out this morning and beautiful! It's going to be a great, gorgeous day!  Didn't have Frankie this morning, I had to drop him off at the kennel yesterday because we can't take him to CDA.  We leave tonight after work for Harrisons wedding!! I'm so excited! I feel bad for Frank though, hopefully he makes lots of friends and gets to play a lot and it's not terrible! I also h ope we make it home tonight and I don't almost fall asleep at the wheel like last time.  It should be a beautiful drive down the Gorge.

No TT because it got messed up.. I guess I could add these numbers but it would probably add up to 5 hours because its so slow!  

Ran in Rathdrum with Jordan (slow splits!) Ran up to my old high school around the track... it was weird. But it was beautiful!

Splits dont matter at this AP right?! Ha, I ran again with Jordan today, he's doing so good and I am so proud of him. We ran through the neighborhood in Rathdrum again.  Another beautiful day!  Ready for the rehearsal dinner and wedding!

Ran with Jordan in Sandpoint across the long bridge across the river/lake.  We ran in to town to get our car that we had to leave last night because we took a cab home.  So we ran hung over!! Ugh, I felt aweful, but I think the run helped! It was gorgeous out and now we want to move to Sandpoint!
