December week 3

Wednesday ran outside 22 minutes: 2 miles (in the rain, that as interesting!)
Thursday ran outside for 1hr49 minutes: 9 miles.  This was a very challenging but awesome run. I didn't set out to run more than 5 miles but I just kept going. I fit in 14 big (some HUGE) hills into this run and ran 4 miles into the freezing cold sleet/wind. It was tough and had to run with my head down a lot of the time.  But I like runs like this because it makes me feel like I am capable of anything if I can accomplish them.  Also 15 minutes before I left my husband asked if I was going to run and I said "I don't know... I'm so tired", but he encouraged me to go so I did.  WOW. Can't believe I would have missed out on such a great run!
Saturday: ran 2 miles outside 23 minutes

November week 4

Monday and Tuesday home sick with the flu
Wednesday ran outside for 2 miles: 20.30 minutes
Thursday (Thanksgiving!) Turkey trot outside for 51 minutes: 5 miles
Saturday an with my sister in law for 11 miles. 2 hrs 15 minuts (10 minutes worth of water stops and walking). this was my worst run yet.I had been up with my kids for like 3 hours in the middle of the night and I was exhausted. my body was also tired from my race. we ran one direction for the 11 miles (from her dads house to her in laws house) and it ended up being into the wind the entire time (it wasn't suppose to be, the dang wind changed on us!). so even though I did it, and felt great after, it was the biggest challenge mentally and physically. though I feel like if could do that,I can do anything lol.
