3-Part Run

Welcome to all the new followers!  You humble me with your presence and comments.

I have been busy while away.  My in-laws were here, ADP was home from work for their visit, and I've been running.  I ran on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and decided to get some extra sleep on Friday morning so I did not run.  Saturday is ADP's day for his long run (more on this another day) so I stayed home and took care of things around here.  On Sunday I ran again.

it was mouthwatering!

Sunday's run was a three part run.  I just was not feeling it, but I did the best I could.  I don't know if it was the vino, food, cake, or lack of long-nights of sleep...

Running into the morning sun

I didn't quite finish my 9 miles and I most certainly did not do my PHMP + 20 sec for the whole thing, but I did run.  My left-hip wouldn't cooperate so I've been busy rolling and stretching the left-leg tightness out.
