Full Moon

Thursday p.m. run ~ Day # 137

Haven't the evenings just been amazing?

(except for the bugs)

The moon as been so bright it is hard to stay inside and sleep.

Okay you see the photo.

Yes.

I did run last evening

BUT

I took things slower

AND

I shortened my run on Wednesday evening

AND

eased my pace.

Today hip is back to his usual silent self. 

I do plan to adjust my runs since his chatter.

The relay this weekend is about running with Hubbs so

I will be running it at a strong pace but will not be all out racing. 

Next week I will fall back on my mileage and intensity.

We have more racing the next several weekends

and then the main event at the end of October

the Fire on the Mountain Trail 50K.

Thanks for the comments on the last few posts. 

I appreciate everyone who was willing to chime in with their opinions

on world issues and my personal OCD issues.

Steady feet and strong legs to all those lucky runners racing this weekend.

And a special shoot out to all the bloggy meet ups happening, too.

Enjoy the wonderful fall weekend everyone!

Last night I just could not sleep. 

The excitement over the Biggest Loser finale may have been part of it. 

But mostly, the moon was so full and bright it kept calling me out to the porch tempting me to run.  But with no Hubbs home, I was forced to evantually go in and try to get some sleep.

Which I got from 1 a.m. until 2:12 a.m.  At 2:12 LBM decided he had slept long enough.

Talk about an early morning!

So even though I am beginning to feel like another mom who some may think should stop,

The Duggars before they reached 19 and Counting

I went for a run (3.5 miles / 28:07) with LBM early this morning. 

The run felt so much better than yesterday's run. 

The pace was a little fast for the "run slow to go fast" but I am getting closer.

At least it wasn't quite a hot and humid this morning and we saw this awesome snapping turtle.

Poor guy didn't see us at first.  He was missing an eye! 

So I made sure I got his good side too.
