The Little Engine That Could

Okay, so this run was supposed to happen yesterday! But, drank wayy too much at Jordan's company christmas party on Friday night so running yesterday am was out of the question! I had such high aspirations Friday night to run from our house to Dallas where we left our car (because we couldnt drive home) which would be 9.3 miles, a long/perfect run. Ha! Get Real. I could barely get out of bed yesterday. Ugh. 

So today I did do a new loop.  Instead of going down the hill through west salem I went up and down to HWY 22 towards the coast.  It was a nice change of scenery. Ran for 59 minutes... so probably a little more than 6 miles.  

My goal was to do at least 3 on the TM but because I feel like crap with a sore throat only did one.  Slacker.

Took the great advice that Nicole gave and downloaded the GPS app for my phone. :) So yes, I know I ran 5, I just didnt time it. Oh, well.  After next week I really need to get back to being more disciplined!! I feel like such a slacker lately, not to mention I've gained a legitimate 5 lbs.  Ugh. I cant wait to have my Garmin back!

It was so nasty out this morning, raining like crazy and very windy.  I ran 3.5 on the TM and saw that it had cleared up a bit so I thought I'd better finish out side and let Frank stretch his legs too. I put on a long sleeved tshirt and headed out in my shorts.  Burrrrrrrrr!! It immediately began raining again! I managed 2.5 out side and came back soaked and cold. I cannot wait for my garmin to be back! I'm afraid to see what my splits will be when I finally can track it again... 11:30, 10:30, 11:00 haha. Oh, well I WILL get back into it more consistently after Christmas. :) 

Now off to ID for an entire week for Christmas vacation! Very excited to be home, just wish Jordan could join me. :(  He will be there on Thursday in time for Christmas Eve/Christmas!
