nike pegasus pink.   6 miles easy 8:25 pace.  First mile 9:31 :D.  Last mile 7:29.  Besides my right leg taking over my left legs role as a whiner, I feel good.  Could be because of that BIG 8 HOURS of sleep posted!!  Oh yah!! meds needed however.  Birthday bash yesterday for my 12 year old for four hours with eleven 12 year olds gave me enough anxiety.  LOTS of Drama!!  I decided that holding a birthday party for twenty 6 year olds would have been easier!!  We played 10 party games with 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  Who knew that a girl would cry for not winning????  Oh and that just made it so several of the other girls played into her emotional "game" and it just escalated from there.  It was fun but in a dramatic way.  I had to have a few "time outs" (not lecturing just animated) about who the heck cares who wins and loses skittles in a game???  We had plenty of extras to hand out later I told the girls.  OH MY!!!  my little briefing here can't even quite give you the picture!!  It seemed that half the girls were PMSing ; D.   The other half had all their ENERGY combined and I mean ENERGY!!!  (actually two girls were quite calm!!) Of course my daughter is happy so that is all that matters in the aftermath.  No one hates each other (at least I think so).  Just warning any parents thinking of a 12 year old girl party.  Perhaps limit it to 6 party guests.

Oh my, I totally remember crying at a birthday party sleepover when I was 12. Crazy ol hormones. Cuz I am so not dramatic now. Good for you for getting through it! And even better that you got some much needed sleep! I hope it continues through the week.

I run in the Nike Pegasus all the time. That's been my shoe of choice for the last 10 years. I've tried several other ones along the way and always go back to the Pegasus. Their a lot like the Mizunos. I liked the Mizunos also, had some three years ago, but the Pegasus cost a little less, tiny bit less cushion. For the price/quality Pegasus is great.

So happy that you got some good sleep!! My 12th birthday parts was totally drama, not looking forward to girl drama, what am I talking about, my 3 year old girl gives me drama!!!
