I had a little bit too much fun on Halloween so I didn't run today.  Whoops. Only got in 10.7 miles worth of running this week, baaaaad.  And next weekend I'll be in Atlanta, so I'll probably slack then too!  Baaaad.  After that I'll get back on the horse! (and the eating healthy and staying away from candy horse too!)

Did 2 miles on the treadmill this morning at 10:54 pace.  Its been pouring and so rainy and so dark so early all week, I'm already depressed.  I hate the treadmill.

Ran 4 with the ladies at Game Farm park.  Man was it dark and stormy and rainy!  Miserable at times, but overall good and I'm so glad I did it, felt great once it was over.  I HATE the new darkness.  Ugh.  I'm writing this in Atlanta and it stays light a good 45 minutes to an hour longer than Seattle and it makes me SO jealous.  Plus the 70 degrees doesn't hurt.  I hate Seattle right now and am dreading the next 4 months.

Splits: 10:10, 9:39, 9:21, 9:21

In Atlanta!  And it is sooooo nice here, I would say it was at least 70 while I was running today, it was HOT.  It felt almost TOO hot at times, that's how wonderful it was!  I got to run with my friend Leandrea too, which was awesome.  Love it here, don't want to go home.

Splits of: 9:06, 8:42, 9:24, 9:15, 9:45 (.2), walked other .3.

That's right, I have NO idea where that 8:42 came from, I blame my friend!  But its the first mile starting with 8 since April 5!
