6 Miles Done

As soon as my head hit the pillow last night I was out and slept all night till my alarm went off.

It was wonderful!

I did my 6 mile this morning on the treadmill. I has intended to do some abs after my run but since I was a little late getting to the gym I only had time to run. Will attempt to do abs tonight when I get home.

So 6.26 miles, 50:35, avg pace 8:05

Splits

3	24:19	8'08"/mi

5	40:29	8'05"/mi
6	48:34	8'05"/mi

I felt good this morning. Tired sure and my left shin has been giving me some trouble. It hurts a little when I first start running but once I get moving it doesn't hurt. So just keeping my feelers out for it.

Not sure if I'll do my 3 mile easy run tomorrow morning or just miss it all together. I have 12 to do on Saturday and I'd like to see how I do the day after a rest day but I also want to make sure I'm hitting all my runs. 3 miles is no biggie but I'm sure it's there for a reason.

Lastly I just found out that next month I'm going to be traveling to Southern California for 2 days for work. The plan is to do some sales calls with my rep for that area. I'm both excited and nervous because I don't travel on planes often and it's from coast to coast which is a little daunting. 

Plus I've got several things to consider:

- Hotel will have to have a gym so I can keep up with my runs

- I've got 15 miles to do that weekend so I know I'm going to be exhausted from the time change and traveling

- Not catching any germs from that long flight! Must keep well.

I've never been to California so this will be neat. Of course I'll miss my daughter because it's rare for me to miss a bedtime. I'm always there so makes me sad but this is a good work experience and I'm grateful my company is fitting the bill. 

However I wish we could wait till January, ha ha.

Sophie is going through a "no" phase again. This time she's saying no in a complete sentence. Like I say "Sophie it's time to eat dinner" and she says "no it's not dinner!" Or there's "Sophie it's time to go to school" and she says "no it's not school." That's pretty much how our conversations go lately. However I will say that she's learning more and more words and speaking very well. 

We are going to tackle the potty this weekend. I just bought a package of underwear and we'll see how this goes. I feel the time has come and other kids in her class are starting this at home so I'm following suit. She's doing so well with everything at school and it's so fun watching her become a little girl.

I've been thinking more and more of having another baby next year after my marathon. She'll make a fantastic big sister.
