Well another week of running has gone by and I continue to love it. Last week I ran a total of 23 miles with my longest being 11 miles. This was my second longest run next to my first half marathon. I must say that I enjoyed this run much more than my half marathon. I'm guessing that the huge hill in the middle of my run had something to do with it. :) The 11 miles I ran on Friday morning, left me feeling energized for the day. I felt great during my run, I prepared all my stuff the night before so that when my alarm went off I was able to just get up and go.

My banana and peanut butter was just the right combo to fuel my long run. I felt like I could just keep running. Which was great since I was running in the pouring down rain but I still went out and ran. I ran my 11 miles in a quick 1 hour and 55 minutes. HAHA, quick, yeah right

Look at this place, how could you not want to run if you go to run next to such a beautiful river. After my run I went home put on my compression socks to help promote good circulation in my legs. I then got ready for my morning at the spa getting a Mani and Pedi with my girls. Little did I know I would be spending the entire day there. 4 hours later we were finally done.

After getting pampered, the girls and I had lunch at a local favorite restaurant ,where I ate until I felt like I and to undo my pants. This was followed up with a nap and then a night of packing for the Light It Up 5K we were doing the next day in Ontario, Or.
The next morning we set off for our 5 hour car ride with team BAM and our running manager Bill. AKA Beeaalll. haha. Man what a great trip it was, I have not laughed that hard in forever. The run was a blast, with a PR for my girl Amber. This girl is on fire, kicking ass and taking names. I am so proud of the runner she is becoming. She truly is an inspiration for all women who don't believe they can get in shape. She is proof that you can.

Looking forward to more races with these with and the crazy week of training I have.
