October 22 - Hmm, maybe I should write a blog entry??

     
Birthday goodies from my co-workers!

Wow - slacking, big time. Yeah, I've ran (jogged?) a few times lately but I think I'm slacking with the jogging and the blogging. Not sure which scenario is worse. I attempted to run about 5 miles today and I think it ended up being closer to 4.5 overall and it was windy and I was not into it. Oh well, we all have our days. I managed to jog the first 3 miles or so but the last 1 1/2 I walked home. On a positive note, the weather's finally shaping up and I went for a nice evening jog on Monday for 4.5 miles in 43 minutes (walked 3 times for 1 min. each) and that went just fine. This weekend I had a volleyball tournament for work and we played six back-to-back games, so that took the place of my Saturday run and forced me to miss Race for the Cure. We ended up in second place in the "B" division. By the final game it was chilly and misty and quite miserable. As a side note, I received some excellent running-related loot for my birthday from colleagues last week - pink Nike Dri-fit hat, assorted flavors of Sport Beans and GUs, two pairs of running socks and a $50 gift card to my favorite local running store, 1st Place Sports. I was both surprised and excited, and everyone else was poking fun at me and making fun of my GU. We'll see how long they last at mile 10! I also got a sweet $10 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods from my runner pal, Summer. Lots of great runnin' stuff.
