Okay, we'll see if this works.  This is my first entry so I don't know.  I feel totally lame even having a running blog because I am definately not a competitve runner. And I am not that fast. But, I want to keep track of my miles and see if it helps. We started today at the top of Veyo Hill and ran to the church.  I felt pretty good and pushed hard miles 6,7,8 then had a hard time starting again.  I took it easy the rest of the way and was ready to stop at the church!  Jessie ran the whole way with me and I just tried to stay with her.  In all it was pretty good.  8:24, 8:37, 8:00, 7:34, 7:30, 7:13, 7:03, 7:11, 7:55, 8:19, 7:54, 7:43, 7:47, 7:47, 7:35?

Today was lame!  I think my legs were a little sore from Saturday still so I wasn't feeling that great.  I am also a little congested so that took its toll too.  I ran the college run with Liesel.  The long uphill was hard but I started to loosen up the second half.  I always take a minute to warm up and then the run is over.  Overall average=8.07  Splits=8.12, 8.28, 7.55, 7.52
