Shoot for the Stars

Lakeland Hills. 8 a.m. Goregous weather! High of 65 degrees, blue skies, warm enough to wear a short sleeve and carpis running. Those there: Sunny, Janet, Lindsey, Angela (only for the first couple of miles), Jan (new lady), A new russian girl, can't think of her name, Shannon, Sheri, etc.... Some of the other ladies were running Tacoma marathon. Go Mishel!! Her first! We ran the usual route throughout the neighborhood. Time went fast as I got to know the new ladies and also talked with Sheri a lot near the end. Felt good but the last stretch I was very tired to do so ended with a few of the girls after the loop around the park. Glad I got out, because I was totally thinking of slacking today! I didn't stay for starbucks after this time though.

Paradise, CA. 5:15 a.m. We started out driving up to Cypress Acres where my step grandma stays and parking. The run from there to grandpas home was about 1/4 of a mile. Then dad and I ran about 2 miles around the property. We did about 6 laps. My GPS wasn't accurate because it wasn't started the whole time. We visited with grandpa for awhile, had breakfast, and then went to say hi to Beryl. Then we ran from Cypress Acres home and that was 3.30 miles. Total mileage was about 6 miles throughout the morning. It was still a good run even though it was broken up and I wasn't sure what my dad had in mind as far as running. The weather was probably in the 60s so it was great! It was easier running from grandpas home then opposite. The only hill we had was the one on Wagstaff. We took Pentz to Wagstaff, cut across the Kmart shopping center and then down clark, to Nunneley Rd-home. I only had some slight ankle pain on R side when I was running at grandpas place but I think that was because the ground was uneven.
