Got up and ran with the Heidi's this morning for our long run. When we were getting ready to leave it looked like rain would be hitting us for sure, but we got no more than 2 little raindrops on us the entire run. To be honest, this morning's weather defined my exact idea of what "running weather" should be. It was beautiful and I LOVED running this morning. We just left the house, ran out to Osborns, down tree road and back. Originally we had only planned on going 8-10 miles but when we hit tree road instead of turning around in the middle, Heidi W and I decided to take it to the end to get a little more miles in before turning around. Knowing I have a busy day today I was anxious to get home so I kind of kicked it up just a bit and left the Heidi's at around 9.5 to finish the last 1 1/2 by myself. It was a really fun run this morning and one that made me realize just how much I love running and how grateful I am to be allowed the opportunity to run. I am excited to take tomorrow off and hit it hard next week!! (First week I have broke 40 miles in a long time, it feels really nice. Thanks to Tyler for being so accomodating this week and helping me out so that I could run every day!!:). Splits: 8:58 (nice warm up mile), 8:46, 8:46, 8:41, 8:17, 8:04, 8:50 (big hill here), 8:31, 8:35, 8:00, 7:46. Avg. Pace 8:29
