done.

today was a battle of the wills and the hills. i was not feelin it. could be the fact that i was up from 1am to 2 am and again from 4 am to 6:30am with the fussy babe. it's a good thing he's so darn cute. my mom came the rescue this morning to come watch owey while i ran, so that made it pretty impossible for me to talk myself out of sucking it up and going. i ran 5 miles in about an hour (my watch mysteriously disappeared this morning) - half of it was uphill, half downhill. a comment on that from captain obvious: i much prefer the downhill.
good news is, it's done, it's over, and can't wait to run 9 on saturday. YIKES! oh- i also have run all the way up the big hill on the way back to my house the last 2 times in a row (normally i walk/run up it because it is so steep and i am mentally exhausted by the time i get there.) now that i know i can do it, i almost can't stand to take the wussy way out. hope you all have a good day off tomorrow... relax and enjoy before the torture begins!
