Coming up with my own races..

Happy 14 year Anniversary 6 mile togetherness Running Race .. 

That's right.. I'm coming up with my own running races or tri races. Every day I read about other runners signing up or running various races. I'm feeling a bit left out that I don't have any to do.. So why not come up with my own theme races every day. Who needs to pay an entry fee just to run with a bunch of people, get a bagel, T-shirt and metal? I can still do all that.. without the fee. and if I choose, I can come up with my own race loot.. Which today, it's going to be flowers, and peanut butter on whole wheat bread.. because it's an anniversary run. Which we did together today.. as we do every day.. 6 miles.. side by side the whole way! The best race I ever ran!

What should I call tomorrows race? 

Chiro.. much needed!

I'm off to the Chiropractor.. Much needed! It's been ages since I last went to get my back cracked and adjusted. I'm feeling my lower back pains.. and all sorts of pains all over my body.. 

I kind of think its a treat to go see the chiropractor.  I always giggle when my back is cracked and I have no idea of why? If I could just get an hour long massage like I use to get when insurance would pay for it.. that would be super! I'll have to settle for the little bit of a massage from the chiro appointment. Hopefully, I'll feel good as new.. 

(this is not my new bike. ;0) )

I found out.. our new bike hasn't even arrived in the store to be put together. I was hoping today would be the day I could go pick up our shiny bright red and white bike... I was told its been taking 7 days. They assured me I could still get it in time to use this weekend. Now wouldn't that be great because I'm having a hard time be patient.. Can you tell? 

I feel kind of sorry for my instructors at DCTC.. They have to put up with my constant questions about grades. I'm still waiting on one grade, which I know is an A. I still want to see the grade on the computer. I then can look forward to see a certificate in the mail. I just want to hang that darn thing up on the wall.. A good way to feel a sense of accomplishment!

New life.. We saw the first baby geese of the year yesterday afternoon. How cute and fuzzy... This is why I love running outdoors. How else do you see all the animals and birds..it's the best way to enjoy life.. 

I ran another 9.5 miles today.. 3.5 of it outside running home from the gym, the other 6 miles on the cross ramp. My legs feel the difference from the extra miles and just running outdoors.. It's different then running inside but I love how I'm getting a good workout and can feel it. 

I also swam 1 mile yesterday in 30 minutes or 32 laps.. 1 lap = down 25 meters and back 25 meters.. 
I feel it mostly in my ribs.. or external obliques.. (side muscles) I can feel my core getting stronger.. I really thought my arms would be sore but I think from lifting weights trained my arms and they don't feel a thing! 

Off to Yoga this morning to stretch out and lose up my muscles..

Deer run...

I love running outdoors! Nothing beats the scenery as I run. Today a deer decided to run out in front of me along the wooded path.. I looked into the woods and there were 2 other deer 5 feet away ready to dart out in front of me too until I screamed.. I just was not expecting that! 

My run was a little soggy this morning. I ran indoors 6 miles on the cross ramp then really wanted to run home the 3.5 miles only issue was it looked like a big storm was going to come any minute. I took my chances and just told Steve to come get me if he heard lightening. 

I felt great running 9.5 miles and will do it again tomorrow..
