The Running Diva

Thursday, December 20, 2007

I did 30 minutes on the trainer this morning and then ran 55 minutes at Cedar Hill right after work with Juice. It was a beautiful night, cold but clear. I ran with Juice until we got up to the upper loop then I went ahead at a slightly quicker pace. It was light enough out to run the first loop without the headlight but I turned it on for the last two and man, am I ever happy that I bought that thing! I know it’s totally geeky but if it means I can get a few more runs a week on the forgiving trails in the winter time and have fewer runs on the road then I can take being called a geek! What fun too to run around those trials in the dark with a light! It looks like you’re running through tunnels…cool! I did the first loop in 16:48 and the second two in 15:48 exactly…how’s that for keeping a steady pace! I ran back and picked up Juice who wasn’t too far back and then did 6 strides before going home. The pace was moderate and felt very comfy, legs still feel perky. I have one more WO tomorrow before an easier week next week while on holiday in Mexico!!! Boy, do I need it! I have my flipper/snorkle set, sun screen and bathing suit packed….yipeee!!!!
