Random Thursday Thoughts:

• Thank goodness I didn’t run CIM.  Sounds like they are expecting nasty rain and wind.
• I hate seeing my kids struggle.  I wish I could ease the struggle for them and fix all the wrongs.  But I know that part of life is dealing with the struggles.  It just makes me hurt so much to see them struggle.
• It’s 9:30 p.m. and my calves feel ok!  Woot!  When I did the backwards downhill walking two weeks ago, my calves were starting to really hurt about 8:00 p.m.  Fingers crossed that I don’t wake up in pain!  (I did pilates, tons of foam rolling and epsom bath and Summit beer tonight as preventative pain measures!)
• I feel really good so far in this training cycle.  I think alot of it has to do with the slooooow miles that I’m running.  And today I got an email from coach telling me for my 7 miles tomorrow to slow it down even more.  The weird thing is that I don’t mind because I feel like the slow miles are helping.  I used to feel irritated by slow miles – like they were a waste.  I’ve changed my attitude about them!
• Dinner tonight was Stacy’s Gingerbread Pita Chips (LOVE those things!) and Summit.
• Crazy that it’s almost December already.  Where are they months going?
