800 miles!

After the 5 miles I ran today in the sweltering heat, my yearly total is 800miles! wow!

I'm actually feeling very good!

I developed tendonitis in my ankle a few weeks ago, and for awhile I couldn't run on it at all, just a little pressure on it and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the leg! But after a few days off, and taking it easy for a few weeks, I feel almost as good as new!

Last week my cousin Katie came up and paddled and ran with me. She ran a total of 24 miles with me last week! AND entered in her first ever 5k! and...SHE PLACED! She got third in her age group! I'm so proud of her =). It was the fourth of july Firecracker 5k! She sounded very excited to have run the 5k, and said that she would like to do it again! It was a pleasure having her around to hang out with - i even took her to her first baseball game. We went to see the Rochester Red Wings, and had a blast!

The weather hasn't been too agreeable the last two days - it's been a very humid 90 degrees, and sleepy head holly has been sleeping in so I have to run in the heat - YUCK!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
