8 Mile Run

I kept putting this run off because it was freezing Saturday morning, literally and we had to leave by 9:30 for the game. Sunday morning was in the thirties too, so I decided to wait til late afternoon. Dressed in my cold gear compression and a jacket, I set out. By mile 1 I was pulling up my leggings. I find if my ankles can get air I stay cooler. Mile 2 my jacket came off and mile 5 I pulled up my shirt so my stomach could get air. Guess it's not quiet cold enough for long clothes yet. I felt great the whole time! I know it's not my usual race time, but it's better than the 13 minute mile I've been averaging.

Since this was my first long run and I ran faster than normal, I decided to take an ice bath. It keeps my muscles from being sore or should I say as sore the next day.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!
