Monday- 8.1 (on March's calendar for mileage)

Tuesday - 30 min elliptical in the morning, and 5.54 miles running with Wyatt in the afternoon.  We walked about 3/4 of a mile too.  So much to talk about on April Fool's Day.

Wednesday - Ran 3 miles.  Doesn't sound like much, but they were bleacher miles.  Took me an hour.  Did some skipping and other running alternatives a few times between the bleacher sets.  Just kept moving.  Wyatt kept me company. Legs are going to be sore tomorrow.  I'm pretty sure it's been over a year since I did bleachers.

Thursday - 9 mile loop.  When a dog is chasing you and barking, and the hair along his spine is standing up straight like a zebra mane, that means he wants to kill you, doesn't it?

Friday - took it easy, 20 min elliptical.  Tomorrow should be nice weather for a long run.  Looking forward to doing it outside.

saturday-18 this was the never ending run that evidently wasn't supposed to happen.  I was on base, had 7 miles done, heading around airfield when mini me called.  She was home and very, very sick.  Some good friends helped me out with her until I could get back to the car & home.  I had 10 miles done for that part.  Then I got little one taken care of and went out to finish the last 8.  Between all the phone calls, stops, driving, medical issues, and miles, I was running from 1130 am till 530 pm.  Only managed 18 miles in 6 hours.  At least mini me got better later that night.

Mon- 4 am - remember that pregnancy test I found on the side of the road a couple weeks ago?  Well, I found this just about 500 feet away from where I found the test.  Looks like the kids are playing it smart.

Tues- 6 am

Wed- 6.5 afternoon.  30 min elliptical in am.

Thurs- 2.5 am

Fri- 4.2 am - walked around the hood after dinner enjoying the perfect spring weather & watching the sun set.

Saturday - 20. One of my worst "off" days ever.  My legs were so heavy and tired.  I went 20 miles, but there were a few walk breaks in there.  It was hot, which was nice to be warm but I got a little over heated since I'm not used to it this season.  I had my water boy for the last 11 miles.  It was good to have him with me.  I don't really know exactly why this run was so hard.  I'm going to try and fuel a little better for my next long- and drink more water.  The marathon is coming up- whether I'm ready or not.  I feel like I don't have anything to prove, so I'll probably go slow and enjoy the day.

Monday - 6.5 morning run with MR.  He KO'd early so I finished by myself.  It was good to run at normal speeds compared to my sluggish pace on Saturday. I did run into one of the newest members of my family on my run:

Tuesday - rained all day.  I worked on fueling today.

Wednesday - 14.75 mid-day run.  I slept in really late.  It was marvelous. MR went off with his parents and I was left to my own devices.  So I went on a nice long run.  Into the wind first.  Better paces, better run than Saturday, but around 14 miles I felt dizzy again.  Not sure what's going on with that business.  I only have a couple of weeks to get it figured out before the run.

Thursday - 30 min elliptical.  

Friday- 8.75 miles.  Mr rode the bike and I had a very nice run in some chilly weather.  Good fry-day awesomeness to follow. Photo of onion & jalepeno matchsticks.  Newest addition to the fry-day repritorie.

Saturday - recovered from fried food feast.

4/21- 5.01 miles

4/22 - 4.36 miles with Wyatt

4/23 - 9.15 miles

4/24 - went to beach with mini-me. Treasure for the day.  Fish head, fish head, roly poly fish head.....

4/25 - 3.71 on the beachfront road & boardwalk.  Walked around downtown Wilmington for a couple of hours.

4/26 - sitting on my sofa, bored out of my mind while the plumbers replace every pipe and fitting in my house.  Wondering how I'll get the drywall dust out of my carpet and how all those holes will get fixed.  At least I shouldn't have my water fittings spraying water everywhere.  Wishing I could run- beautiful day outside.  Oh well - it's my taper before the race next weekend.  Taper can mean zero, right?
