Running Week of Nov 15-21

Sunday-rest (work 12 hour night)
Monday-3 I got home from work and shipped the kids and Jeff out the door for the day. Mistake #1 was that I sat down! I was sleepy already and if I sit still for very long I get even sleepier and it is hard to want to do anything. I had a couple cups of coffee, but it did nothing to get me up and going. Around 0830 I finally decided to get on my running clothes and go run. The bike trail here in town is 2.44 miles. I ran to the two mile marker and turned around and ran back to the 1 mile marker for a total run of 3 miles. Then I walked from that 1 mile to the car. So I did a total of 4 miles today, but only 3 were running. My time was pretty good I think.

1 mile 10:48 2 mile 21:49 3 mile 32:28

Tuesday-3 (work 12 hour night) taking a forced rest day. having some aching in the left hip and hip flexor.
Wednesday-rest (work 12 hour night)
Thursday-2 (this is the last 2 mile run until the week of the Half Marathon)
Friday- tomorrow morning is the big race. shew.. I am ready, excited, nervous all bundled up together. Right now it is raining. I am praying that it is finished tomorrow morning. At least from about 8am-9am so I can finish and not get drown :)
Saturday-6 (I will be running the Spa 10k this day) 6.2 miles :)

This was my post 10k photo. This is my niece Kat. She ran too, and beat me to the finish line by about 10 minutes. It was a lot of fun. The worse part was Mountain Drive. That is one beast of a "hill". Maybe I should be running some hills more often. About a mile from the finish line I saw Elvis. Yes, he is alive and in Hot Springs..lol
My time was 1:08:48. I was 34th in my age group and 300 something over all. I didn't finish last!!!! I am already looking for the next race.
