What a day

We did our 6-miler today (Mojo overachieved and did 7) with the gorgeous SF waterfront and hundreds of screaming toddlers 'playing' soccer as our backdrop.  Chatty Grace made the miles easy and Mojo's second wind put me to shame. 

Right calf was bugging the last few miles.  Will keep close attention to it since this is a new injury.  Hips are holding up!

I love the feeling of accomplishment and seeing Grace and Mojo on these Saturday runs but this picture attests to the fact that I love the post-run food too!

I swallowed a bug

The sun was setting over the lake.  The smell of eucalyptus was sweet and refreshing.  I was booking all the flat parts of the run (I was slogging through all hilly parts of the run).  I was feeling good...

I was running, and breathing with mouth open, and then I inhaled a bug.  

By the time I realized what happened, the bug was swallowed. 

Oh, I finished the 4-miler in 46 minutes!  Great time for me.  Looking forward to running with Boots and Mojo tomorrow.

139 lbs

I'm weighing at a chunky 139 lbs today.  This is actually on the light side for me but a dozen or so pounds away from my healthy weight.  A lot of work to do on that front -- I've struggled with the extra weight for years now but every day is a new opportunity, right?!  :-)

Completed a 4-miler on the treadmill tonight.  Only until the 2-mile mark did the achy shins and heavy feet loosen up. 

I was a sweaty mess by the end but I felt GOOD afterwards.
