PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK!

For those of you out there in the WWW that do not understand running---just go ahead and go to your next blog for this will not be meaningful to you. SORRY--I will entertain you with long boring stories of my "Life in Eden" another day.

With new baby and long visits and I had a bad cold, and I had a flat tire, and I ran out of gas-------I did not run for 9 weeks. This is tantamount to starting over in my mind. I am proud to say that on my third run, I was back up to my 5 miles and even ran 5.5. NOW---in all honesty---I am SLOW----11 minute pace GROAN!

Today I ran with the "Big Girls" again and am happy to report that I came in with an average time in the 10's. NOW in "Honesty in Reporting" (LIKE ANY REPORTER IS HONEST IN HIS REPORTING) I must admit that I was nano seconds under that 11 minute mark---but HEY I was close and the average is still in the 10's This is all in the REALLY COLD LA weather and with ice on the ground.

GOOD FOR ME!!!!! Not bad for a 62 year old Grandmother!
