Very late night run tonight but after Sasha's advise, I have to try harder to run more consistant during the week.  So I left my house at 9:00 tonight to go for a quick little jaunt.  I got some new shoes that I wanted to try out too, so that was a little added motivation to get homework done, the house tidied, kids to bed and be on my way (thanks for your help in accomplishing this Ty).  I felt really good tonight and might I just set the record straight (in case I have not made it known before) that I LOVE THIS WEATHER!!!!!  I run so much better when there is a little chill in the air.  So, here are my splits.

1. 8:06

2. 8:00

3. 7:45

last .7 = 7:37.  Avg pace 7:54.  

 The shoes were awesome, I really think I am going to like them and I just want to get them a little more broken in so that I can run in them for the marathon.  Can you believe it is less than 5 weeks away?   CRAZY!!!  Now that I have been blogging (both on my family site and running site) and it is after 11:00PM I think it's time to hit the sack.  Night night ya'll.

Great run Kellie! These temps are SO wonderful. I just hate that they are so fleeting. Spring and Fall just don't last long enough for me!

Good job Kellie, glad the shoes were a success. Hopefully you can get out earlier tonight.

WOW---fast!!! I only run that face on a race day. I am so slow otherwise. I do not know where my speed comes from (could it be the drill Sgt. yelling at me to keep up and go faster??)

And, I LOVE this weather,too! Perfect. No hotter, no colder. The park is pleasant during the day, you do not have to use your air conditioner at home, it cools down at night for running, and so on. LOVE IT!

So, do you run better at night or in the morning? Just wondering if we really were separated at birth.

Hey, it just dawned on me. You ran the marathon last year when your baby was like 6 months old (or less)??? WOW.

Kelli "with an I", Sorry I am just getting back on the FRB to post my nights run and saw your comments from earlier. I think our genetic similarities may have just come to a screeching halt. Ha Ha. Actually sometimes I feel better at night and other times I feel terrible at night.But for the most part, I would rather run in the morning, it just seems to get my day started off better. I think it all depends on the type of day I have had, what I have eaten and what I have on my mind. Majority of the time my nights are so consumed that I have to peel myself away from my house and allow myself to go and run. Plus, there are so many nights that I am so tired, the thought of running is about the last thing on my mind. However, with that being said, i also am not a morning person. I love my sleep and by nature am a night owl, but a lazy night owl who wants to clean my house, do laundry (uh ha), pack bags and play on the computer until the wee hours of the morn. So, anyway, moral of my story is if there was a way to let me stay up until mid-night each night, sleep in until 8:00-9:00am each day, then run when I got up in temperatures, just like today's, that would be the perfect schedule for me. Now, if only that were practical!!!

Yeah, my baby was 5 1/2 months old last year when I ran the marathon but I had run up until I was about 8 months pregnant (okay, jog rather, maybe even trudged along) So I think that helped me get back on the wagon pretty easy. But I did feel pretty accomplished. Again, all the more reason that I have pressure to improve this year, geeezzz!!!

It's good to hear from you Thanks for the Post Kelli, talk to you soon :)

I do feel the same way about running at night---it is hard to get out, I hate showering again, bla bla bla, but I just run better at night speedwise and lead legs wise! I have to be careful what I eat when I am running at night, and it has to be at least 3 hours before I run.

Way to go on the running pregnant!
