I know it's Friday, and I know it is supposed to be our rest day. But I've found through experimenting the past few weeks that I actually do better on Saturday when I run a very easy 45-50 minutes Friday morning. I had another great run today, although it was quite humid. I can't believe that I take seriously the "cold front" that came through and dropped the morning temps to 72. I'll take whatever I can get.
Looking forward to tomorrow's mere 6 miler, and then will be going to a party for my Grandmother, who is turning 95 on Monday. She rocks. She was sick a couple of months back and we really thought that was it, but she's back in full force. She's even driving, so watch out!!
Another busy weekend, but I find that not stopping after the SAturday run helps keep me going the whole weekend. I'm not as beat on Sunday either, although I do like to take it easy.
Anyway, everyone have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow. With this easy run, I'll have time to go back to bed for a nap before time to get to the party. I tell myself that every week we get up early, just go back to bed if you feel you need to, but I never feel like that after it's over. Always wide awake. I'm hanging on to that one endorphin!!

I'm with you on the endorphins...I always want to go find a cozy spot somewhere, but my body won't slow itself down!
Happy Birthday to your grandmother. My husband's g-mother is 84, and healthy as a horse. She has never driven though. One of those old-fashion-er's. I still trust her to keep my son alllll day sometimes. I love grandparents!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is great to see progress, even if slower than I'd like. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I haven't gotten to the point yet where I like running -- would still rather be on a bike. But I am glad I am doing this and am proud that I am getting better.
The days I bike in to work in the a.m. and then try to run in the p.m. are tough. I might have to get up earlier to run first, then bike to work.
You're right, the attitude is different running in the am vs pm. I DO dread it when I am "bushed" at the end of the day. Your grandmother is an inspiration. Let's see now, I can drive at least 35 more years! Wow, you sound like the "energizer bunny" going and going all weekend. Maybe I will try to push myself because I do not like being a slug all weekend when those are my only free days all week. See ya tomorrow!
Your grandmother is my idol! I am going to be just like her, driving my Mini at 95, leaving skid marks and rocking with the radio!
