My Legs are Jello

I guess I am just tired from a long weekend back home with the hubs and the 6-7 hour car ride home....but my legs are jello today.  I ran 3 miles in the am and then did my normal cycle class and yoga class after work.  I almost didn't make thru yoga.  I was so worn out.  By bedtime last night I could feel the jello coming.  I totally did not get up to run this morning, because I was so worn out and walking around this morning I hardly have any legs under me.  Hopefully, by this afternoon my legs will be okay to run 5m.

Just me, my running shoes and the road....and the.......

Well....not just me but the deer, skunks, snakes, garbage trucks, etc............  Don't get me wrong.  It's awesome to get up before dawn and running in the relative quite.  It just can be a bit nerve racking to run up on a deer, inhale the odor of skunk, have to constantly be on the look out for snakes, and have those big trucks whiz by you.

First 8 mile run of the season......

My marathon training season started June 27th without a lot of fan fair.  I actually didn't have a good first week, as it is now July 7th and I am just now finishing my week one....boo.  That's what happens when you start the week of a holiday.  The July 4th holiday weekend kinda got in the way.  No biggie though.  I just enjoyed my weekend with the hubs and friends and picked back up this week.  So, rather then running my first 8 miles on Saturday, I ran in on Thursday morning before work.  It felt great to get that one under my belt!
