Ran with Kim.  Lucky Day for both of us.  I just happened to call her as she was about to call me.  Her husband is home sick for the day so she was able to run outside and not on her TM or at the gym.  Yay!!  of course that meant I had to run faster than my usual easy run but I told her "just let me warm up for three miles and I will be ready to run your pace"  and that worked. The first five miles were uphill some normal uphill some steeper.  It was a great fall day.  Kim and I were overdressed.  We laughed at ourselves.  We had to stop so Kim could remove some layers.  I am big on stretching lately so that was fine.  We were not in a hurry.  No kid worries.  So the first few miles were 9s and the last few were 7:30s.  AP for 10 miles= 7:57.  Did some core and my pushups.  Troy joined me for some pushups.  He could easily do over 10 no problem so I put him at the last category of 100 push ups work out sheet.  He made it look easy as I strained to do my measly sets.  Ate some dried apples fresh off the press and then salmon on grilled corn tortilla.  Had a craving for the tortillas.  We stopped practically every day at the tortilla factory at Disney California.  And the sour dough company too, yum.  They give out free samples  : D.  Feelin' pretty good.  Probably should have gone easy if I am trying to run MP at the half Saturday--goal pace 7:12.  If I feel really strong I will push it harder.  But we are going earlier 7:30am start  so the terrain might be icy and the buses will be coming upon us for the first 5-6 miles.  We all have busy Saturdays and a 9am start is just too late for us.
