ARRIVED




We finally arrived at Carlsbad on Thursday afternoon. Had a chance to catch up with a lot of family I hadn't seen in some time.


This morning Amy, Kelsea ( my nephews daughter) and I headed to the beach to get a walk in. We thought it would be a nice flat beach, wrong. We had to carefully climb down a steep cliff and then because the tide was coming in we were only able to walk on the stoney beach.


Total miles for the week are 13.92!

WESTWARD BOUND

Yesterday we ended up doing our run on my trails because the soccer game was canceled due to wet fields. We managed to get in over 5 miles.

Today we head for Albuquerque on our road trip to San Diego. We have planned out our days to work out and I have incentive to keep active, Christy and I signed up for a 10K on the 14th at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Is anyone else up early because of the time change?

A big congratulations to Jenny on her PR at the Halloween Halfathon!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hope everyone has a great Halloween. Good luck to Jenny and Mark on their half today. We had a change in plans and are just going to do a run on our own at the soccer fields today.

ALL IS WELL

The rain stopped, the sun is shinning and Amy arrived last night 2 hours late. We have a ton of errands to do today and I know that doesn't count as a run so I'm hoping this afternoon we will be able to get out on the trails. Tomorrow if the weather permits we are planning to do a 10K. Sunday we will start our road trip to San Diego.

BEAUTIFUL DAY

When the weather is this beautiful you just have to get out and go for a run. Blue sky, slight breeze and the sun makes running so enjoyable. I did my usual trail in the neighborhood for a little over 4 miles total. I'm hoping tomorrow will be just as nice.

CARD 9 JUMP JUMP JUMP

Whew, there was a lot of jumping going on today with Jillian's cards plus we added the box jump again. We're trying to get to a 12 inch height and are almost there. Jenny says this will make us stronger in our running. I hope so.
After the workout we did cardio for 20 minutes.

NIKE HUMAN RACE 10K

This morning I asked Christy if she'd like to go for a run. First she said no and then she said yes. We started out and I asked how far she wanted to go. "What day is it" she asked and I replied it was the 24th. "Let's do the Nike Human 10K" So off we went and I was trying to figure in my head just what route we needed to take to get the miles in. We decided we'd run 5 minutes and walk 5 minutes until we reached 6.20 miles and then we would walk the rest of the way. It was a beautiful day to be out and I quickly needed to take off my jacket and was wishing I had on shorts.
Total miles 7.21
