That's what runners do; they run. If you're not feeling well, you run; if it's lousy weather, you run, and if you're under stress, you obviously go for a run. You run to clear your head. You run to ease the ache in your muscles, and you run just so you can breathe a little fresh air.

No matter what else is going on, there's always time for a run.

Happy Feet

It was a short week for me this week. I took Thursday and Friday off as vacation. Thursday and most of Friday, I watched my beautiful niece, she is soo much fun. Then it was Friday Family Fun Run with just the girls (HeatherSue, Scuba, SB and Ella Beans) since my dad was on vacation and out hunting.

It was a chilly and windy day so we did the normal loop around my apartment but backwards. As we were running the loop, I told my is Heather Sue that she has happy feet. She laughed at me and ask when did her feet start talk to me. I don't know what it is about her feet (stride) but they always keep happy when we run on Friday's, maybe its the fact that is the weekend they are so happy. She also probably laughed at me because this is was not the first time I told her I thought she had happy feet when running. I may be going crazy/gone crazy already (..for years) or I enjoy having more footsteps running with me. I love having my sisters and dad interested in runnning, they are my motivation to keep running and to stay in shape.

My feet were happy again this weekend with another road race. My SIL is a Girls on the Run (GOTR) Coach and another local GOTR chapter was doing their 5k race of the year so we went down to support that and help her get ideas for their Spring 5k. Scuba and I ran and placed first and second respectively in the race. I also started off the race with my SIL's girl until she caught up to us on the roller blades. It was a pretty nice easy course with some hills.

We have one more road race coming up next week, the Turkey Trot then I am think I will have a couple weekends off from races before the Frostbite 5Miler in December. It will be nice and strange not having a race after next weekend since I have been running a 5k race every weekend since the beginning of October.
