Week 2 Sat run

So I'm impressed with us! We had planned to meet several times this week either at bootcamp or other and well we let out lives get in the way.
After a 'back in the swing' run Wednesday I think we both realized that the 13.1 miles will be pretty awful if we don't get down to some serious training.

We created our schedule as posted before and we met up this morning ~ early!
It is my middle son's birthday parties today (one for friends - then one for family later) so I had to suggest an early run instead of joining running club at 10.
Shortly after 7am we headed out. Granted this is usually my sleep in day, but not anymore :)
We headed up the hill on Mall road - chatting up a storm, catching up about our kids antics. On Rte 42 we coasted and were just about caught up. Then the downhill on Hopeful church. I personally do not enjoy downhills - I feel like my legs get away from me and I don't like picking up speed as I'm not in control of my motion as much, and that's when my legs hurt. As we started the incline again we both commented that running has become automatic. By that we mean - our legs seem to know what to do now - after months of running, now we get to focus more on our lungs, our pace, our gait. That's kinda cool!

After what seemed like the longest hill ever - we turned on Cayton to head out on the last leg of mile 2. I checked pretty regularly at the map at this point and finally got to stop at the stop sign - leaving us a nice walk back to Impact through the strip to cool down.
We didn't get a chance to cool down after our quick run Wednesday and my legs felt it all day Thursday and Friday.
On schedule to run 4 miles tomorrow  - wohoo! - we are Mother Runners :)
