Today’s Run:  6 x 400’s

I have been dozing here on the sofa for twenty minutes or so, trying to decide whether it was too early for me to go to bed when I realized that I had forgotten to do my blog.  Oh No!  So here I am, kinda fuzzy around the edges but I am here.

After an entire week off from running, my husband and I were finally able to get out today and “hit the ground running” (ha ha).  We ran 6 x 400’s.  That is 400 yards at a  5K race pace, six times.  It may not sound like much but trust me, it is hard.  And that is why I am so pooped tonight.  It felt great to be able to run again so even thought I may bellyache about being tired, it was great!

Spent the afternoon painting.  Put the finishing touches on two paintings.  I will post a pic of one here, the other is a Christmas present so no peeking!  The one is a Wisteria bonsai tree.  Wisteria is an aggressive plant and this painting is a cultivated/trained one.  Caught my fancy I guess.  The Wisteria painting is kinda a Monet style.  Lots of dots and I learned that I am no Monet!  But it was a fun painting to do.

So, tomorrow it is up and trying to fit in a run before the hurricane rains hit.  We are supposed to get 5-7″ or so.  The wind has picked up some so I guess that even in central Mississippi we still get a little bit of the action.

So, now it definitely is NOT to early to go to bed.
