getting back on the horse

I took two whole days off running after the Crazylegs run on Saturday (audible gasp! haha) I haven't done that since the beginning of February I think. I took Sunday off because I was driving back to Indiana from Wisconsin. I took Monday off because I wanted to :)

Tuesday Finn and I ran together...ok, he was in his stroller. Cuz that's how he rolls. He was wearing his t-shirt from Heather that says so. We ran from home to Shoaff Park and then ran the 5K route around the golf course. We ran in the late afternoon. It was in the low 60s that day so the temp was very comfortable. It was on the windy side on the way to the park. But on the way home was cool runnin'. We stopped very briefly at the quik-e-mart to get some milk for us and Finn and then ran home. All in total we logged about 6 miles together. Finn and I make a great running team.

Wednesday I got up early to run before work. I almost didn't make it. I was T-I-R-E-D
It was a beautiful morning. A bit brisk. I wasn't dressed quite warm enough for how cold it was. Luckily I was running so I warmed up pretty fast. The sun shining was super golden. I run past a creek on the premises of our complex and I noticed that the swans were still sleeping.
I always run a different route every day I run, for safety and to avoid boredom. I get bored easily. Damn ADD. I ran through the complex and then over to campus and over the Venderley Bridge and then over to the soccer fields and then ran next to the river over to St Joe Center and then looped back home. There is a little strip of land on St Joe Center that doesn't have a sidewalk or room to run on the grass. You are forced to run on the street if you want to get further down the road. It is kind of busy at that time of the morning on St Joe Center because it is a main street. So during that time I have to run on the street over there I am just praying someone doesn't go postal on me and mow me down.
I love getting my run done early in the morning. I ran 4.7 miles. It is seriously time to change the songs on my MP3 player.
