So blessed to be celebrating another birthday, I am where I am suppose to be. Woke up to pouring rain but Mother Nature was nice to gift me with a gentle mist so I could get my run in, it probably wasn't the best of ideas to run so late yesterday then roll out of bed this morning for 10x400m @3k pace, I felt every bit of being 48 but as usual I rolled with it.

All my neighbors probably thought I was crazy since I was going round and round on the 1 mile loop in the rain but I did change direction half way to confuse the squirrels and dogs. No where near the pace I was shooting for but I was also expecting that just wanted to be able to finish each one decently. I think I need to race less if I really want to hit this paces but am not sure I want to. Next race is on the 27th Thirsty Dog 8k, part of the Akron Rubber Series and nothing till August 15, really.

After work, met up with Shelby and got in some easy 6 miles then we went off to Fisher's for Dinner since I am home alone, had a great time chatting and I got a small pink Nathan water bottle and a beautiful pink dress from Shelby, which was very thoughtful of her , dress was an xsmall and it fit beautifully.



On the way home, had a flat and after a 35 mins wait, Buck from AAA finally arrived, I may be a woman but I can definitely tell when a tire is flat, after a nice firm conversation he agree to change flat, Yes Buck I do have a spare in the truck and I have no clue where the jack is shouldn't you have one. Oh he thinks he does, oh well........ tired changed and safely home. Life is good and I am bless. :)

Gotta love Ohio, after the unbelievable 80+ heat wave last week, we are wearing sweater and turning the furnace back on this week. I can barely stay warm.

Wednesday is fast becoming a favorite, today was back to Ultimate Yogi 108: Yin Yoga with Travis Eliot, I guess I can say I am getting more flexible or maybe more I can get into the pose better and focus on breathe a bit more.

Am thinking of signing up for the Akron Rubber Series 8k/HM/M, although not crazy about the $205 price after all discount but then I am thinking I get better value for my money over the Flying Pig which was $196 - 10k/5k/M. Also realized I have done Akron 3x already so this will make #4 which I will be doing regardless of whether I do the series or not since Shelby picked this for her first and I can wait to share the experience with her, back to my point, so I have have to do at least 1 more Akron Marathon to be in the 5 year club.

Why do I want to be in the 5 year club, it is just a runner's think, oh well
