Beyond running....

Still a little sore from yesterday, but the am LR Marathon group run went well. It was SOOOOO foggy. My hair was soaked from all the moisture, but once the sun came up it was beautiful, fog and all. Finally met Cheryl, after commenting on each other's blogs for a while. It was nice to run with someone, and I didn't even miss my ipod! I have really enjoyed getting to know some of my fellow runners in the "running community". It has been inspiring and helpful...sharing struggles, getting advice, and learning to love running all over again.

It was 8 miles again, the group did 7. I felt a little slow this weekend, somewhat stiff, averaging close to a 10 minute mile. Only 2 more weeks in Harrison, thank goodness, so I can run more days a week and get used to the increased mileage. I hate treadmill running, even on the rare occasion I feel up to it after work. When I get back to working at St. Vincent's in a few weeks, I'll be doing mostly 8 hour days, so I will be able to do my runs in the evenings and go to some of the sculpt classes I have really been missing. I'm sad I won't be around for the LR Marathon training meeting on Tuesday. Hopefully people can fill me in on what I missed! Looks like a 9 mile route next weekend, if I'm up to it....
