With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

5.63 miles in the morning and then 5.01 in the afternoon.  It was chilly in the morning, but so nice to have the sun coming up while I was running.  I saw the moon out, and the sky change from night to day.  Beautiful fog on the fields.  In the afternoon, someone had told me it was cold outside.  I forget cold is a relative term.  I had to take the sleeves off my jacket  after mile one because it was too warm.  I wasn't happy that the sun was setting before I got home.  I realize daylight savings time is over, but I want it back!  I'd rather have the moon to myself in the mornings and more sun in the afternoon.

The mizunos are still hurting the top of my foot.  It feels like the tongue is rubbing and bruising the top of my arch.  I've tried adjusting it and nothing seems to work.  Frustrating!

The top of my foot felt great this morning after taking a naprosyn in the middle of the night.  So I put the mizunos back on and went out for a few miles this morning.  It was cloudy and overcast- making the 38 degree weather even more delightful---NOT!  I didn't even get to see the moon, or the sun....just gray :-(

After mile 2.4, the soreness on the top of my foot came back.  I think I'll quit complaining about it now.

Ran 5 miles home in the old Brooks.  It's a little chilly, but so beautiful outside :-)

My legs were sore this morning. I guess from all the running, so I got up and went for a beautiful morning walk.  MR went with me and we walked quickly to try and stay warm.

Afternoon, I ran home from work.  Every day this week, I've run past a big huge bag of fluffy pink stuff.  I always imagine it's cotton candy.  I'm pretty sure it's not- and since I have a new rule about not eating food I find on the side of the road, I haven't tried it yet.  Foot felt fine.

morning run was 5.6 miles.  I kept thinking I wanted to finish the road and do my 6.2 route, but I knew I'd be cutting time too close in the morning due to my lengthy beauty regimen. (read: wanted to eat breakfast).

after school I ran to a church activity.  My cars were both being used by others in my family, and this activity involved a free dinner, so I found a way to get myself there!  It was a perfect day for a run- high 50s and a beautiful sunset.  It did get dark, but I'd come prepared and had my headlamp with me so I whipped it out and voila! I got to keep running :-)  I'd dropped off some clothes in the morning so I didn't have to eat in my stinky clothes.  It was delicious and I had 2 scoops of ice cream......perfect!

They've been cutting down trees and burning the huge piles of tree rubbish.  The piles smolder for days.  It's like running through a smog pit.  In one day, there were 8 new houses framed in one of the areas.  This is what progress looks like:

Early morning warm up 2.23 with MR.  Balmy 38 degrees, but what a beautiful sunrise! 

Afternoon run is pending. Did a quick run after work around the hood with MR on the bike.  We got  3.58 and called it good.  First run this week without a jacket.  Hooray!

It's supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow (finally warm again) and I have to be indoors in a class all day.  Bummer.
