Sunny's home at Tacoma Point near Lake Tapps. 7 a.m. It was Sunny, Niki, Allister, Angela, Sunny's brother, and I. Good run but not as challenging in the beginning. I ran with Sunny for the first part and then finished off a strong finish with Niki! We ran the usual route from her place around the neighborhood but did the little colvesack as well. We just ran to the light in Lakeland and made a loop because Niki had to get back to coach the girls soccer team! The weather was nice but it was really warming up we could tell as the day would go on.

Mishel's home. 5:30 a.m. I was so not wanting to get up this morning because I have been sore from flagfootball, volleyball, and wakeboarding....I was so tired this morning! It was just Mishel, Niki, and I who ran today. Niki kept up with us very well; I was actually fighting to keep up with morning. We ran the main route but continued on pavement instead of L on gravel, past HS, then went up a steep hill that was very hard! We walked a few seconds after that as we waiting for Niki. Then we went back on the gravel trail when we could see the road better. It was very dark this morning, cloudy, and kinda hot. My R ankle bothered me the first couple of miles from football I think. Niki took the dirt shortcut back near house and Mishel and I did the full loop around the neighborhood. She sprinted near the end; I had nothing left to do that.

Cheri's house. 5:30 a.m. Mishel rode with me to Cheri's this morning. It was so so cold!!! I wore a tank like it was still summer but atleast capris instead of shorts I wore. Both Mishel and Cheri offered me a jacket but I thought that I would be fine. I felt like this time I never warmed up too much, atleast not on my shoulders which is rare. It was foggy too so that didn't help as much. We ran from Cheri's home and made a L on the main road out back on the country roads past the cottage and hay area. We make a loop by turning R on 200 street and back to Cheri's road. I felt we kept a decent pace! Cheri did well! We were joking that Cheri and Mishel kept such a good pace because of the aggresion they have with kid drama-teen trouble stuff. I said, I guess I Need to have kids so I can run faster! lol. I felt pretty good this morning, esp. considering I played football last night; I thought I'd be more sore!

Roegner Park. 7 a.m. Ran with NIcole and Lisa! It was great to run with them again! We ran out and back, then just took one break after we did an out and back about 3-4 miles, we took a quick bathroom break. Then we ran the extra bit past 1/2 mile then back and out again and extra bit. Then we had to go a little extra almost under bridge then turned arounld for full 10 miles. We all wanted a long run! We felt good; it was at about mile 8 were my legs started to get stiff, heavier! but other than that did pretty good. Some R leg pain in beginning but went away, my L ankle was sore after. Weather was goregous, 60-70s. Great to run at Roegner again! Nicole ran more mileage after Lisa and I were done. Way to go! The girls were trying to convince me to run a marathon in Dec. I am not quite sure about it but they were convincing.
