So ran with stopwatch as I had to be back by exactly 9:20 to go and pick up my sister's daughter from my daughters Junior High CTE class (she is 5 years old and the jr high has them come to learn how to care for kids :D).  She was there an hour.  I had picked her up with My Brooke at 7:50am and brought her to her school.  I got back and ready to run and out the door at 8:40 and some seconds...crud...not much time for many miles I thought....but after feeling quicker than usual in the first few minutes and a frustrating Dr. visit yesterday that left me sleepless last night....pondering many things...I just picked it up after a half mile and decided to run by feel my five miler at a brisk pace. This five miler of  mine is HILLY!!! Oh my.  But I felt strong and nothing was hurting.  I guess two weeks is my body's time post marathon.  The last four miles were done in 27:07.  My last mile (I know where it is from other times I have run this run with a garmin) was a 6:34 :D .  Felt really good.  AP for last four miles with significant hillage-- 6:46.  First mile 7:50.  I think I will run with a watch once a week just to test myself.  I think I am coming back from the dead.  I SOOOOO LOVE FALL.  I was remembering on my drive home from taking Emmy back to her kindergarten....that during the SG marathon I had on my ear phones from mile 13 to 26.25....At mile 24 ....a song came on that just really made me believe in myself.. It is a church song calle "You are a Light on a Hill".  It is powerful and it lifted me from the sadness I was in at that point in the race wondering why this year was so LONG and tough and PAINFUL....I BEGAN TO SING....YUP  I was singing.....and LOUDLY too.  Ha Ha probably caused me those 11 seconds for a 3:06...but you know what ??? I felt amazing and happy for being where I was at that moment.  MIRACLE!!!

6:48... Miss! It is not November yet!! Just reminding you because I know you would be reminding me :):)

Glad you had a fabulous run though. Don't let that doctor yesterday bring you down... only one persons opinion of many out there.

Appreciate the reminder....felt good to get my frustrations out on the pavement....if my foot stays heeled there is not going to be anything holding me back....but it is not time yet. Got a lot to work onto get healed. So easy peasy. Watchless once again.
