Amy made us run too much today. Ha. I only say that because I promised her I would post it. Actually it was a great run. I felt good, after a little while, and we ran at a good pace for me. We did about 2 1/2 miles averaging between a 14 & 15 min mile. The 3:1 ratio felt really good today and I think I might actually try the 4:1 during my other runs this week to see if that can become as comfortable. We went off the track and ran on the road for our time today- loved it. I was nice not to just run in circles - different scenery!
My realization that this weekend is my last one to sleep in on a Saturday was a scary one. I am going to sleep until I just can't stand it anymore on Saturday. Starting next weekend I'll be up by at least 6am every Saturday until September for our training runs. This is really starting - I'm excited but it still doesn't seem real.
On a fundraising note: Debbie is raffling off her beach house for any offseason week through April of 2009 in the Outer Banks, NC. If interested in buying a ticket let me know - $15/1 $25/2 or $50/5. All proceeds will be split among 4 runners who are selling for our marathon goal of $1000. To see her house click below:

Off to find something else to eat - I earned 3 WW points for running today and I still have 9.5 regular points left for the day. I should not eat that many points of ice cream so I'll have to put some thought into my snack (snacks) for this evening. I was good and did have some G2 after running. It's not often I'm willing to give up points in a drink but it's good for me.

Ugh, I totally know what you mean about early Saturday morning runs. But I still would prefer those to running after school. Between the exhaustion and the heat, I always feel like I'm moving through mud.
