I'm not fast and never will be, but I love to run. I've completed all but one of the half-marathons with my dad.  He and I will be running in the NYC Marathon together.  We've gotten my mom into running too.

I also run short distances with our yellow lab, Allie, and sometimes we get Drew, my husband, to go along. We completed the River City 10K together in April, his first 10K.

Point Mallard trails down and back x2 with a little extra to make 12 in the wave pool parking lot.  1hr 56 min 20 sec- 9:42 average pace.  Felt good.  Started to ache in the hips and lower back a little bit towards the end.

A little over three miles approximately.  Just a short, slow jog with Allie in the morning to get her out and running. Didn't wear my garmin to keep up with pace and time. Allie got attacked by a dog down the street from the cabin at the river, so no more running in that direction down there again! She's okay though.

Point Mallard Trails after work.  9:23 pace.  Was reminded of why I run in the morning instead of after work-  it was no fun in the afternoon- hot and humid and tired from the day.  Looking forward to tomorrow's morning run.

Refuge Road out and back, doubled up on hills today.  Forgot my Garmin, so not sure of pace and exact distance, but think it was probably about a 10 minute mile pace as usual with hills.  Morning runs are much better!!

Will take it easy the rest of the week because of Half Marathon in Napa-Sonoma, Ca on Sunday!

Run with Allie down by the river.  No run planned for training today, but felt like a run this morning, so we went.  Slow pace- 10:48- strong wind all the way home.
