perfect weather :)

after last friday's 8 mile run, my left knee felt a little swollen and irritated for a day or so. so i decided to rest a few days. it's fine now and i'm thankful it's nothing more.

tuesday i ran 5 miles. it was 83 degrees and quite humid. when i was about 100 feet from my house ending the run, the skies let loose. the rain came down and the winds blew. and an hour later it was 63 degrees!

wednesday, the weather was picture perfect - temps, breeze, sun! i ran 4 miles with my man, stopped by the house to meet my girls and run 2 more with them. we then walked the dog for a mile. later that night, i was so frustrated with my favorite hockey team so i set out for a quick 3 mile run. it was quite cool - sweatshirt temps!  it felt gooooood to run twice that day!

today i ran 4 quick miles with my 10yo lil' runner. she doesn't know this but she's pacing me! for almost a mile we ran an 8:15-8:38 mile! i have not done that for a whole mile yet! i kept asking her if she was tired and she'd say, just a little but maybe because i'm getting warm in my long sleeve shirt. i have my very own pacer!!! yay!!!

She's awesome! You should run a 5K together sometime.

I didn't know your husband was a runner?! How fun to do that together.

haha, he's not a runner! he just comes with me every now and then on a short run, so i'm all ecstatic when that happens! :)

I LOVE that you run with your daughter! What a great role model of fitness you are to her while making memories that will last a lifetime!
