My run started a little after 5 this morning. I walked out of my garage with my bottled water, cell phone, iPod, and stop watch. It was very quiet and it was a clear starry morning. Yesterday, someone reminded me to layer and I was very glad I remembered to do that. I got my stuff placed in various pockets and began walking to the start while donning my gloves. When I reached the starting point, I started the stopwatch and began slowly. Since 7 miles was a new distance for me, I didn't want to go too fast in the beginning (not that I run fast anyway - you KWIM). The first 3 miles were surprisingly easy. So I pushed a little on the uphills and tried to move a little faster on the downhills. On the flats, I tried to stretch out my legs a bit (kinda hard when you're short :roll<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> or pick up the pace a bit. On my turnaround into Mile 4, I noticed the sky changing colors. It was beautiful. Just above the houses, you could see the horizon turning a beautiful pink/orangy color followed by lavendar and merging into the indigo morning sky with stars still dotting the canvas. It was gorgeous. Miles 4 and 5 weren't as easy, but they weren't as difficult either. I just tried to maintain a constant pace. Mile 6 I could feel myself slowing down. I took a few swigs of water and kept moving. Mile 7 I had alternating thoughts of 'it's almost over' and 'I ran 7miles'. I finished in 2:08:43. DH couldn't believe I did it. This is my peak week, but since I have several weeks btwn the end of this week and the 10K, I'll probably do the last three weeks again so I get to run the 7 again! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Hi! I tried to start the thread this morning for the first time evah and KR wouldn't let me. Oh well. I got 9 miles in the dark rain at 5:30 this morning- but it's done and it wasn't too cold out so I can't complain too much. It was really coming down hard for about 1/2 the run. My new smartwool socks kept my feet in check, especially since my first step was into a 4 inch puddle (thats what happens when you can't see the ground). Now I'm at work and sneaking on.<br><br><b><span>Go Batmomm, Ty and Alemma!!!!!!! Run, Run, Run!!!</span></b><br><br>
Monika- I hope you feel better<br><br>
Marianne- I'm sorry your kids are still sick. I hope they feel better really soon. WTG getting your run in last night<br><br>
Johnny- GL with that snow.<br><br>
Chosha- WTG on your early run. Enjoy your niece. You're such a nice Aunty!<br><br>
SB- Have a safe trip! Enjoy yourself.<br><br>
Ky- Have fun at the Pinewood Derby! A blue Lego car- how unique. I bet it looks great.<br><br>
Hey Suds!<br><br>
Nicole- Have a good run- I hope you don't get too wet.<br><br>
Hi Heather! Is there any flooding by you yet? I hope it's not as bad as they predicted.
