Back home

So I wrote this and posted yesterday - but blogspot dropped it. Starting from scratch, hoping it sticks!

Friday's 6 mile run was a slow start, beautiful though from beginning to end. I ran through Ann's neighborhood - lots of pin trees and birch, a little hilly too. The second half of the run was out to Lake Huron running on the Isle to the old Light House. It was spectacular. Sun was coming up, not a soul around. Temps were in th elow 60's - absolutely perfect running weather. And the view! I had many fantasies about my place up north when I retire :)

Sunday's run, my first 10 miles, went well. I had non issue completing it - but wow was I bored! I ran straight out US 23 along Grand Lake and back. I did get to see a few beautiful sites - but mostly woods and hills. I checked out the cottages along the road too, but it got dull and I was wishing I had mapped a different route. Good to know for the run I will have to do up in Suttons Bay this month.

I came home Monday with Mateo (poor guy has a double ear infection). So no speedworkout that day. I made it up yesterday after the Dr appt. I ran on the Dearborn trail (so nice to be back there), but it was 10:15am, 81 degrees and high humidity. UGH! I was trying to run my fastest and well - I felt like throwing up much of the run. In the end I clocked 9:33/mile, so not too bad for as horrible as I felt.

More this week...running tonight while Aunt Tina watches Mateo and then not sure how I will fanagle my Friday run :)
