5 Miles and NOT empty.

Today I did my 5 miles. I actually felt really good and could have gone a bit further, but much to my dismay I have a plan to follow...darn. ;o) So I fought the urge to run forever and stopped at 5.25(in case you were wondering there is a hint of sarcasm there).

Mile 1 9:40
Mile 2 9:24
Mile 3 9:14
Mile 4 9:04
Mile 5 8:32 not a misprint.

This was just one of those good running days. I had my music turned WAY up and just ran. I purposely started out slow because I wanted to pick up the pace and finish fast. I was actually really surprised that I was able to finish in the 8's. Tomorrow is another 3 miler. I think I can handle that.

On another unrelated note, yesterday's post gave beach fever. I need to look at my race schedule and see if there is a time where I can make it back to Italy this spring or summer!

My race schedule is filling up! Next on the agenda is the FREE The Million Inch Run on Feb. 13! In case you don't want to do the math that is 15.78 miles! I'll be doing this with local bloggy buddies Tall Mom, Zoe, and Kerrie as well as tried and true AN the RB! After that on March 21 I have the Mercer Island half marathon (on my birthday!!!!)! April 25 is my FIRST MARATHON, Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon!! YAY! Coming up on June 27 is the Seattle Rock n Roll Half marathon! I feel like I am missing something, but those are the certain races! I can always add more! I have to find one for May and July!

Today I am grateful for:
Thursday night TV!!
Flat rate shipping boxes!
A warm house!

And I love the ice tray! I've been using it alot! and i realized it works great to make calf ice massagers as well! Awesome idea thank you so much! Also, would you mind letter all your readers who may have enjoyed the Bondi I send you that I am holding a Bondi Band Fundraiser! The details are below...

    Here are the details…

    The bands will be $8 including shipping so cheaper than ordering straight from the site! However, if you order more than one, you will get a discount! The more you buy, the bigger the discount!
    Rebecca is sending us a big assortment of the more popular styles but head towww.bondibands.com and let me know which one/ones you want! You can order any of the guys or girls headbands (solids, patterns, phrases, symbols, etc).
    E-mail me at KatyeRunninAround @ gmail.com with your order! I will give you a total (including any discounts). I will be able to except checks and paypal (I don’t want anyone mailing cash, too much risk)

  10. Good for you. I have been secretly rooting for you to have a post like this. Seems like you've had your share of CRAP lately so it's great to hear you are feeling good. Sounds like you have a great support system. Not sure what your husband does but THANKS to both of you for the sacrifices you are each making.
