Today I went on an awesome 14 mile trail hike with Terri.  We packed a lunch and set off to see where the trail would take us.  We ended up going further than I'd ever gone before.  Other than one small portion when I could hear banjos playing, it was a great trail.  Terri helped us figure out where the local prison is off that portion of the trail, and we found some great photos ops.  It was marvelous!

Sunday - 4.5 miles with Terri before she went back to MD.  Had a great weekend!

Monday - 4.52 miles before work.  Most spectacular sunrise of the year.

Tuesday - sicker than a dog.

Wednesdsy- sick

Thursday- 3.06 mile run.  Not sure what's going on with my knee.  It seems to think it should be wonky this week.  

Friday & Saturday - let my knee try and recover.  Weekend full of yardwork exercise.

Photo of the sunrise this week before daylight savings time pushes me back to the dark ages.  It's okay, I enjoy the late evenings so much that I'll take a few more weeks of dark mornings.

Trying to get back on track this week with running.  Don't want to over do it on my knee, but need to get back in the training game for May marathon.  Waking up early is tough- my body isn't convinced it's actually 5 am.... it's still thinking 4 am and no way it's going to get out of bed.  Need to find my motivation....perhaps it's waiting for me inside a carton of cookie dough ice cream.

Monday - yardwork all day.  Painted the deck, painted in the house, finished the flower beds.  Working all day, but not on running.

Tuesday - early morning appointment at the tax center.  Afternoon/evening went for a walk in the beautiful evening weather, then worked on picking up pine cones in the front yard.  Got a wheelbarrow full.

Wednesday - tried to get up early.  LOL.  Had time for 3 miles before work.  After .10, knee was bothering me.  So I stopped, stretched it out, and had a great run after that.  I guess it just needs a good warm up first. Shorts & T-shirt weather at 630 am.  Awesome.

Thursday - got up later than Wednesday :-(  ... Had time for 2.34 before work.  Back to long pants & a coat for running.  But spring is coming!  Lots of my daffodils were KO'd in the ice storm early last week.  A few survived- they make me smile!

Friday - can't remember what I did.

Saturday - make-up school day, but beautiful outside.  After school, Wyatt and I went for a beautiful run.  7 miles of awesome.  Had a puppy follow us for 6 of the 7 miles.  The owner was looking for it when we went back by the house on our way to the cars.  You know what, don't let your puppy run loose (without a collar).  He was a beautiful dog, but starved.  Either from lack of food or worms.  Sad puppy.

Monday - Had to be out early, so no time in the morning for a run.  Rainy and cold.  Just no.

Tuesday - Run after work, after rain.  5 miles.  Felt good.  Found some treasures.  The box-

(wonder what the test results were?..... here's the answer: 

9 yellow babies. Jackpot!!

Wednesday - 20 min on elliptical.

Thursday - Run in the morning, with the moon.  Just how I like it.  Chilly, but no knee troubles - so a huge success!  5 miles in am.  It was BEAUTIFUL after school.  I ran home and started getting ready to go out for a run when Wyatt called me.  Perfect!  A great run with great company.  4.5 miles.  Still no knee troubles.

Friday - 4 mile run in the morning.  Cold morning- Spring is good, I just forgot how it can go from so warm to so cold.  Looking forward to a long run tomorrow in sunshine.  Today is snowcone and chili dog day at the school.  I love chili dog day.

Saturday - best day so far this year for a run.  Beautiful warm weather & sunshine.  10.6 miles- explored some different roads & found out how they connected to the ones I knew about.  Then yard work.  Allergy season is here.  AchoO!

Monday- 6.15 miles

Tuesday- 4.12 miles

Wednesday-  7.35 miles

Thursday- 360 miles.  In the car.

Friday- 3.5 miles with MR

Saturday- dread-mill.  It was 666 degrees in the gym.  By mile 7 i had puddles of sweat inside my shoes sloshing around.  These 13 miles seemed like the would never end.  The alternative, rainy and cold, didn't seem much better.  The best part of this day was an amazing dinner with MR, Terry, and her MR.  And an opossum.

Wonderful run- perfect sun shine morning.  Other than a stop to have a few words with the man who was insisting that his dogs weren't "bothering" me as they were surrounding me and bearing their teeth and barking, an uneventful morning.

Saw lots of treasures that I'll need to come back for later with a booty bag.
