To go from no run at all to 7 miles, how do I count the ways?  Well, I awoke after 4 hours of broken sleep and desired a frosted brownie my husband made Sunday.  So  I ate 1 1/2 pieces with a large glass of milk.  Like that wasn't gonna need some penance for.  I still was like "I'll take the day off and wallow in my brownie mishap".  But then I did my pushups then my arm workout with a window open in my living room and could hear the birds cheering me on for a run with the coolness of the air as a welcome too!!  So I just got out and started out on a nice and easy run.  It once again turned progressive.  I also had a mission with this run.  Yesterday I left my headband, I thought, on the field.   My favorite headband, my only headband.  I drove back yesterday and the ladies at the HS office said try back tomorrow and the janitor said "teenagers are cleptos, you won't see that again".  I was like really?  gone forever?  : (  But I didn't give up hope as today I got the idea to run by there again and check once more.  I was literally drawn to the drinking fountain first out of the way of the office then I thought maybe I will use the bathroom right next to it( I had gone in there when I first arrived at the track yesterday).  Voila, MY HEADBAND!!! LIKE A LONG LOST FRIEND THERE IT WAS!!  AND NO CLEPTO teenage girl dared to take it!!! TAKE THAT.  The janitor didn't have a lot of faith.  Silly story, but hey I am ready for the next run in a snowstorm, my ears will still be warm : D.  Avg pace for 7 miles = 8:17    I felt great the last three miles so I picked it up.  First mile 9:18. Quickest mile 7:31.  Cooldown mile 7:56.   This was supposed to be  a recovery run.   The after the rain falls Spring run was SOOOOOO worth it.  I even saw a few worms Allie.

Good run! The brownie penance has been paid in full, and you found your headband!
