Ran at 615am in the cold and dark.  BUT I wore my shorts in open rebellion to the wavering weather (with headband warmer and gloves and longsleeves : D).   Was feeling pretty good in the beginning (except the darn PF that I decided is my new "achilles heel" since now my achilles no longer aches during runs, but PF SURE DOES, OUCH!!!).    At just over a mile I ran into some other runners.  Thought they were friends from my old ward that was divided in May so  I turned around to run with them.  Turned out they weren't but it was Jane's sister in law Lisa  and her neighbors, so we ran for over a mile together.  I had easily caught up to them so their pace was well over 9.  My mile with them was 9:23 which   I could tell I was pushing them because half of the group was further behind now.   I didn't mind but I had to be back at my house before 7:30 for my daughter Courtney so I told them I needed to go.  At least they got me off of my comfortable dark time runs around my hood.  I was now off on Canyon road alone but slowly but surely it was getting lighter so I did my usual route over there passing by Kim's house and looping here and there.  Really what I am afraid of are the unleashed dogs that people put out in the mornings thinking noone is out there.  They come charging at you.  Even if there is a fence around them it kind of freaks me out.  AP for 8 miles=  8:22.  PF really achy by the end but still did upper body even though I am still super sore.  Better than yesterday but quite difficult to do the pushups this sore so twice I had to do girl ones.  Did the same workout as Monday for all the arms and planks and pushups.  HURTS SO GOOD, right?  : D.  Pretty hungry now.

Awesome workout Julie! With that slower mile in the middle your last miles must have been speedy. :)
