Trail Run in August!!

I signed up for my first trail run. I am SO excited!! I've never done one before...and I don't even know if I'll run the trail before the race (I know, probably a mistake), but I'm really excited. I've heard it's a fairly easy one. I have a friend who has run it, and he said I should be fine...I certainly hope so! I just hope to keep a slow, steady pace and not stop. I haven't ever had to stop on a race before, so I hope I don't have to do that on this one! I'd rather slow my pace down than stop. The trail run is at Paris Mountain, and it's a 7k. Of course Katie will be running with me (yay!!). This is something we've been wanting to do for a while, so we're pumped about it!! Hoping for a little less humidity by then...yeah right. A girl can dream, can't she?? Speaking of humidity, I cannot wait for the fall!! I was talking to someone at work today who has recently started running (hooray for another runner!!). We were talking about the heat and humidity and I told her, "just wait for fall!!" You will feel like you can run forever! Come on fall! :)


What a day! I had a really tough workout over lunch today. First, it WAS tough, but second I was tired from yesterday. I did "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism" while Jake took his nap; then after Jake went to bed and my hubby got home from work I did a 3.5 mile speed run. It was HOT!! I always think by then it should be a little cooler out...but that humidity just does not go away. Oh well, at least 2 days of workouts are over and 1 run for the week! I hope to run tomorrow.



I'm really looking forward to having lunch with two friends from work who I hardly ever get to see! It'll be fun catching up with them.

I was just reminiscing today looking at pictures of my little guy when he was first born. Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year!! It goes by so fast!
