Great morning for a run or two

But then again, aren't most mornings?!

Today the weather was in the mid 50s, breezy, and with lower humidity. Lovely! I took the dogs out for W2D2 (same workout as Monday) except today we ran with a neighbor and her dog. I can't remember whether her name is Lindsay or Liz. I know the dog is Sophie and the husband is James (or Jamie). Anyway, we did 1.75 miles in 29:26. It was fun.

Then I dropped the dogs off at the house to cool down and I went back out with the neighbor for a longer run. We did 2.84 miles in 33:44 for an average pace of 11:54. Coach Mark will be happy that I went slowly. It felt good on my tired legs.

Amy asked for friends to do a virtual marathon with her this month. There is an online contest for moms. You can win great mom prizes. I told her that I would love to participate, but I wasn't qualified. She said I should participate but not officially sign up for it. Fair enough. So far for this contest I have run 1.95+3.15+1.75+2.84 = 9.69 miles. Amy is doing C25k (and is at the same point I am with the dogs) but she doesn't have a way to track the mileage. I told her to guesstimate two miles per session for now. When she gets into the later weeks she'll probably being going a little farther. I don't know if she officially signed up either, since you have to provide proof that you did the mileage (photos of your Garmin, etc.). I think she likes the contest and it is motivating her. I just hope she won't get demotivated by me and my progress.
