I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Hoped for a run this morning but after discovering that walking is not too desirable, I nixed the run.  Anna is graduating today and I have too much to do to be hobbling around :(

ps- how do you tell your sentimental senior that she may be sad today, but once she gets going in college, high school will fad pretty quickly into the past....

The foot is feeling better today.  I am staying off of it as much as possible today.  Here is hoping that the two miles I've got planned tomorrow feel OK ;)  STUPID rusty nail!!!

I headed out to see how the heel would feel.  It was at the very last edge of uncomfortable.  I wouldn't say "painful".  (David might say painful ;)  Anyway, I could have run 5 miles on it, but I was worried that if I did, I'd not be able to run at all tomorrow.  I guessed that if I saved the heel for one more day that it would be even more healed in the morning.  AND if the running the 10k hurt it, I could live with the pain over the weekend :)  so I came back home and tried to finish Breaking Dawn.  I may have to just hunker down and no let my CHILDREN distract me ;)

I am pretty happy about this race.  This is a 6 and 1/2 minute PR for me :)  I really want to see that 59:59 this year.  I have 2 more 10k's planned, so there is a possibility :)  The nailed foot was fine for the whole race and still is :)  I guess I had the perfect amount of time to heal.  Life is GOOD!!  

Now about the race... The first three miles were fine.  I felt strong and right on target for under a 10:30 pace.  My garmin died right before start time, so I had to ask another runner who I was passing what pace she was running.  I felt pretty good until the mile 4 marker.  I REALLY wanted this to be mile 5. I an not sure where I thought there was another mile in there, but I was pretty dejected at the sight of mile 4.  This mile was slower.  In mile 5, I got a bit of a second wind and started passing the people I wanted to pass.  In mile 6, they passed me back :(  All of my energy was spent by mile 6.  My legs were lead and not too happy to continue to run.  I did anyway.  I saw Michelle and the other speedies in the last 1/2 mile.  Michelle gave me the GREAT news that she WON!! :D

I ran 3+ miles on the river trail afterwords.
