(boo hoo)But I told him I would run without him tonight . Well I did it this is the first time ever running 3 days in a row I ran 2.13 miles at a 11.43pace I felt pretty good after I got started it was a little colder tonight my hands are still cold while typing but it was a great run.

Tonight I ran with Kory and my sister in law Kathy we ran at an 11:47 average pace I had a horrible headach today and thought that the cool night air would help a little but I still have it not as bad but will go to bed early, It seemed very dark tonight with a wind but it was warmer about 23 degrees amazing how a few numbers feel so much warmer. My girls 11 and 8 came home from school arguing about everything and I tried to get them to talk about the issues but they could not figure that one out, so I told them to go for a run and come back and meet and talk thing over amazing ,they both ran 1.3 miles and they were ready to talk and be nice to each other and they also got some good excerise in and amazingly they talked to each other with respect the rest of the evening. Hopefully I am on to something ha ah.

Today I woke up at 530am with killer migrane wasn't sure I was going to be able to run today because the med. I take wipes me out, but by noon I was feeling much better, we have had wind warnings all day ,until sometime tomorrow so running outside for me was not going to happen (Yep I chickened out), So  at about 815pm I got on the tread mill and decided to run, I ran 2 miles at 4.6 (approx 13:00 min mile) a little slower than I have been outside, but I did not want to push my luck, I then did a cool down walking mile at a 3.0 speed.

Well what a run It was windy when we left the house we had parked the car 2 miles out with the wind behind me well that was the plan anyway well as we began running the wind had another mind of it's own so we ran with the wind everywhere it was blowing in every direction and then the snow came and it got cold real quick we got to the car and guess what I had locked the doors and the keys were now at home. So I told Kory well we better head back of as we were going back the weather was getting worse Kory said I know a short cut so we headed into a different direction and he took me through some lovely mud not knowing if we should sink or swim we made it through the mud, continued to run on home and Kory left me behind as the weather was icky He got the truck grabbed my keys and came and picked me up to go get the car, as we got almost their I looked over and noticed he had my keys not his so we had to turn around and go get his keys to unlock my doors needless to say we are still laughing at only wanting 2 miles but ended up with more. I have to say this is the worst weather I have ever ran in and I don't like it.

 Ran 3:00 miles at an average pace of 11:23  And .33 at an average pace of 13.23

Not much today slight sore throat and feeling real tired, .33 took 5,   3yr olds for a small walk in the snow to get some fresh air, and .65 on Treadmill. So no run today, but did manage to get a walk in. Early to bed tonight hope to run tomorrow.

Today I ran on the Treadmill it was blowing outside and I didn't want to run in the wind, So I ran at a 4.7 pace, I sure like running outside much better but it is nice to have a TM as a back up to keep the endurance building.

Today as I decided to run I really didn't have a plan so as I started I felt pretty good, So I ended up running 3.00 miles at12.12 average pace Before we left the house my children asked if they could run with us when we got back so we did my 3 yr old son ran .16 and then heard a train, and he has started not to like them, he said they are to noisy and he started crying to go home so we did, My girls finished running with daddy .60 of a mile. It is pretty neat that we can all do this together. Thanks again honey for running with us..

Tonight I ran with Kory all of my children stayed at there friends house tonight , I think that it has been at least 2 years ago that we did not have at least one of our children at home with us for the night, I almost feel lost,our average pace was 12:02. My pace seeems to be getting a little better and I am thinking about trying a 10k this summer. I have been having some sharp pains in my right knee again for most of the day today, but it didn't seem to bother me to much during the run.When we were through running Kory took me out to dinner and it was very enjoyable It was nice to have quality time together.

Well I managed to pull the dreadmill off tonight  It has been a very busy day and evening but God is always good to us. I learned tonight that I must have worked my legs and my abs pretty good last night because it hurt to run sore muscles I guess thats good at least thats what they say, anyway did 2 miles at 4.6 pace on the dreadmill I did stop .5 once I was just to hot. But I got 2 miles in.
