Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!! Today I got up early with Charley so that Jimmy could sleep in since he didn't get home from the bar until about 4:30am! We went and ran some errands and then came home to get ready for the Resolution Run! It went really well I averaged a 9:45 minute mile by my Nike+(9:56 mile by the race results online) which is the more accurate since there was no chip timing. I finished in 30:44 - I could have done better - but I was pushing Charley in the jogging stroller - which is like pushing 30 lbs! Oh and there was a killer hill too! So needless to say I got a workout!


I texted Roni at about 12 noon and asked if she wanted to come and run and she did! I am so glad she came, we ran together until the end when she wanted to beat 30 min so she took off - it was nice to have someone to run with :) She kept checking on Charley for me while we were running - and Charley was just chillin and talking up a storm as usual :) She is a great running buddy!

A friend of mine (one of our relay partners from the marathon) his girlfriend took some pictures of us after the run - so if they send them I will post them when I get them.

I was really bummed when we got back to the car after our run though. I lost my new ear warmer that Jimmy got me for Christmas! I loved it! :( He said he will get me a new one though, but I still feel bad.

So our 3rd day of training is complete - tomorrow we have 30 minutes of cross training then lifting...then our long run of 4 miles is on Saturday. I hope it is a little warmer then today or we will be running it on the treadmill which is fine with me!

I hope you all had a safe and fun New Years Eve!
