My running has been going pretty well though. I guess this weather is conducive to that anyway. Ran 11 miles yesterday morning and felt really great. I am running another half marathon on August 18th so I need to get in some longish runs. Up until this past week my running has been sub par, feeling really sluggish. Don't know what causes this. One day you feel like you cannot put one foot in front of the other and a few days later you can be running like the wind! Well I never run like the wind, but you get my gist. Very perplexing as I know most runners experience this phenomena. I have tried to keep track of my runs and figure out if there is a common thread when I have these terrible runs, but I have not been able to find one, it just seems to happen. Maybe the stars aren't aligned right or something, who knows? As long as I don't stay in a running funk I guess I can handle a few bad runs.
Ran a local 5 K over the 4th of July and did pretty well for me. Ran it in 36:22 and placed 2nd in my age group. Not bad and it was fun. Always fun to place, which never happened when I was younger. Perseverance pays off I guess.
Completely off topic from my running, I became the proud grandmother of twin girls almost 2 weeks ago now!
They are too cute aren't they??? What a blessing.
These two little angels are grandchildren number 9 and 10!
