Finally at a point where I am remembering some of these runs! It sucks I am such a slacker on this blog. Pretty embarrassing that I hadn't updated anything since June 8th.  

This was at home and me and J ran up to my old high school track and ran back. :)

Happy 4th of JULY!! It was a great day!! GREAT RUN. Beautiful run along the lake on the paved trail with Frank and Jordan. It was breathtaking. Should've taken a picture.

Then we went and played with Elsie, Trixie, Annie and Frankie in the lake.  It was the best day of their lives too. Frankie was SO tired!

I think this was the day we went on a hike on Tubbs Hill too. That was a great hike on the lake with Mom. I want to move back so bad sometimes! I wish we could do that once a week.

Vegas baby! Managed to get our butts outta bed and run on the TM at the gym. 

In true Vegas style we stayed up until 3am and slept 'til 10... Very out of the ordinary for us!!

SLACKER. 

Very depressed. With all of last weeks busyness, I did not sacrifice sleep for running.. :(( Oh well, it's just one week off right?! I feel terrible.

Time to get back on the wagon. I feel so,  SO unprepared for HTC. 

AP 10:19  TT 1:01:54

OH, BTW this run was brutal!! I take one week off and I am sucking wind.

Ran three in the rain.. SERIOUSLY, what is up with this weather?!! It is terrible. Summer will never come in Oregon. We need to move.

I have figured the success to my running blog is doing it first thing in the morning when I check email. Even if I dont have my garmin with me to include times. They pretty much are the same everytime anyway.. :-)

I am determined to have a successfull running week!!

It was BEAUTIFUL out! Summer finally?? Had a great day, golfing, drinks at the club house, new purse from the outlets and then WTPP. Best day ever, well best day in a really long time. :-) And my husband was home, even if it was only for a day and a half.

AP was like 9:48 or something..

Totally, totally lame 2 miles after work.. I'm glad Frankie got out at least a little bit.

1.) I was completely unmotivated to begin with

2.) I had a terrible tummy ache

So, I cut it short.

AP was something around the 9:40's. A very average run BUT on a BEAUTIFUL morning.

I guess what keeps me motivated to get up early is that in just a few short months it will be dark, cold and raining. I do love the morning sun and warmth. It's the best.

Another beaufiful morning. Pace was about average in the 9:40's. I wanted to try my VFF's but I'm scared. I stopped wearing them before anything got too bad.. My heel really started hurting and stinging when I ran. I go back and forth as to whether or not they are a good idea. Why stop a good thing? I feel great right now but on the other hand I really do like wearing them and I think they do strengthen my calves and legs....Hmm.
