Wonderful Weather
The weather was so beautiful here today! It was in the mid 50s with a big, blue, sunny sky. It felt like either April or October. I couldn't decide. Either way, it was some good running weather.
So I drove straight home after work, changed, collected Roxy and drove to the trail for a run. I was so happy that I had planned to run anyway today so I could enjoy being outside in such beautiful weather. O was at an orientation tonight so it was just the pooch and I.
We did the following: (in shorts and a t-shirt no less!)
5 min walk
7 min run
3 min walk
7 min run
3 min walk
8 min run
about 14 min walk back to the car
The last run was supposed to be 7 minutes but if I had stopped when I was supposed to, we would have finished right along side a huge dog that was barking it's head off at us. So we kept going a little further up the trail to steer clear. It ended up being 22 minutes of running. It was kind of awkward running with Roxy. Running with the leash changed my stride a bit but it wasn't too bad. Usually O runs with her and I follow behind. If I was in better shape and could keep up with her it would probably be a little smoother!
After our run, I drove back to the house, fed Roxy, gathered up some stuff and a snack and headed to the YMCA to lift. I wanted desperately to ride my bike outside since it was so nice but I sort of ran out of time and daylight. Oh well, next time it's 55 degrees I'll go for it! I really didn't want to lift but was fine once I got there.
And now another day is done! This week has gone fast. Friday is almost here!
Happy birthday Dad!
