Happy New Year!

I finished my run in an hour and 45 minutes. Yes, that's a 13.125 pace and SLOW... My reasoning is that I've done all of my runs for the last 3 weeks on a tread mill and this workout route today was for the hills... lots of them. I followed the Galloway method to a tee and never stopped unless I had met my 9 minutes of running. I even ran "striders" -- 3/4 sprints for the last half mile. I was the last of the group to come in, but there were a lot of people who weren't there today.... Someone has to be last.

And now I feel a little spent. I stretched, showered, massaged (with my new STICK) and drank a lot of water and coffee. ( I can't live without coffee). I ate my lunch, walked the dog and picked up the kitchen. I am ready for a nap... which is what I would be doing if I didn't have 2 kids. So I will finish this entry and play playdough. We'll have a small dinner, bathe the kids, put them to bed and share some GOOD snacks - shrimp, caviar and good wine, and put on a movie so I can promptly fall asleep.... Happy New Year!
