Ran on my own today, but turned out to be for the best because there was some nut job out in the street screaming racial slurs at 6:30 in the morning, and I would have had to run past him to meet up with Jennifer. I turned around from that scene and run in my own neighborhood this morning but was thrown off by the whole incident. That, and watching Taken last night and reading The Girl Who Played with Fire pretty much has me thinking of being kidnapped. Yeah for running scared!
Good luck to Monica who is running the Cap-Tex-Tri today!

Ran with Jennifer and felt pretty good until mile 5 when we were running up hill and into the wind, the heat and humidity were a drag. Goal was to run at least an hour, so that was accomplished.

Ran with Jennifer this morning and got in a great run. More importantly we talked the whole time and I could get out all my complaints about work stress. I feel much better today than I did yesterday!
Thanks Selfish Mommy!

Wednesday Workout: Elliptical
At 4:20 it was thunder storming, by 5:10 it appeared to be done by there was some lightning still flashing and a chance of hail. Rather than run outside I did the elliptical. This is not my favorite activity, but man alive I'm sweating bullets. I listed to Jillian Michaels' podcast which was pretty interesting.
Distance: 1.65
Time: 45:00
Difficulty: 7/10
Calories: 747 (according to the elliptical, so that's questionable)
Abs: 10 minutes

Race Plans
Get out your calendars and check books. The 'fun' racing season is over now that it is hotter than tamales here. But it's too early to start marathon training, especially since I don't know when I'm running a marathon. This is my current race plan:
Moonlight Margarita 5k 6/16/11 - signed up to run with the Selfish Mommy. We're not doing the dinner, but I think we need to stop at Taco Cabana on the way home for a pitcher. This will start my vacation weekend when John and I go to Baltimore for wee-baby Jake's baptism.
Nelson 5k 7/4/11 - Georgetown race with those damn fast Georgetown runners. But good course and a nice way to end the holiday weekend.
Caleb 5k 7/16/11 - Wells Branch area in Austin. I ran this one last year and like that it is north but I did not like that they award Male and Female in the same division, mostly because I waited for an hour for the award ceremony last year (while John got very pissed off at me) and then got beat out by the guys. So this one is a maybe/probably not.
Casa Super Hero Run 9/25/11 - at the Domain and a really fun race. There were lots of supers last year.
IBM Uptown Classic 10k 10/2/11 - ramping up the mileage
Pflugerville Pfamily Pfun Run at Lake Pflugerville 10/15 - local 5k race, also the same weekend as the LiveStrong Challenge. This race will have a $10 kids K, and may be Jack and Maddy's first race (can't pass up the price!)
Turkey Trot - Thanksgiving day 5 miler, assuming I am in Austin for the holiday
December will be logging lots of long run miles - no racing!
Houston Marathon 1/15/12 - pending lottery results, sign up is 6/1 to enter the lottery drawing
3M Half Marathon 1/29/12 in Austin - if we don't get into the Houston Marathon, definitely doing the full half this year. This is a great course.
Disney Princess Half Marathon in Orlando 2/26/12 - I really want to do this race and I think I convinced Jenna to join me for a girls weekend and run it together. I also want to do the Goofy Challenge but realize I should get another marathon under my belt before attempting it.
Austin 10/20 4/15/12 - 10 miles, 20 stages of music at the Domain

First Swim of the Summer or Little J Gets Brave(r)
Tuesday Run: Time Trial
Warm up: .54 mile/10:33/mile
Lap 2: 1 mile/ 7:41/mile
Lap 3: 1 mile/7:53/mile
Lap 4: .91 mile/9:53/mile (supposed to be a cool down)
I had a weird dream last night that I was getting texted and could here the little horn on my phone. At 2:30 I got up, thinking I can't have really heard it since I intentionally turned the volume off before I went to bed. But I must have been getting a telepathic message from the Selfish Mommy, she did text to say she would not make our morning run. I was sort of relieved. 1. because I was exhausted, 2. because she is moving and painting and doing all kinds of stuff this week and probably doesn't need to run. When my alarm went off at 5:10 I ignored it. Then started to feel bad, then started to feel like I should get up. So I got out the door at 6am and did a quick speed workout. It was about 75 degrees this morning - nasty - and I stayed in my neighborhood.
I think my goal this summer is to work on managing my pace, either fast or slow.
