Week 2 Sunday Run (long run)

In all honesty - this run was hard. It was raining - a bit cool and running on a Sunday probably has come to an end.
I have one night to spend with my husband and let loose (yes that means alcohol) ~ even though none was included this week due to the end of Holiday Challenge with a Monday weigh in.
SO - it was a running Sunday.

We left Erpenbeck Elementary with a small group of intermediate runners headed for 4 miles along Route 42. With the rain beating down on my face (as I forgot a hat) and my rain jacket pulled tight around my face, I could hear this swishy sound in my ears from the material and that drove me batty. Juming over puddles - trying to moderate my body tempature - left us both plain uncomfortable.

Well into Mile 2 Amber was not feeling well - it might have been from passing a stretch of dumped diapers (really people). After the turn around Amber needed to walk some and I went ahead. I stopped to walk a few times, not for any good reason other than losing my mojo momentarily and missing my buddy. The end of the Rt 42 has a well place"Victory" bank sign. That kept me going for the last mile - keeping that in sight.

Convseration was brief that day but included: schedule variations/changes, the children (Amber has 6, I have 3), the state of our shins/feet or other ailing body parts - oh and our love for alcoholic beverages and how they can be factored into our training regiment :)
Keeping it real!
