Catching Up

I have missed a few days blogging.  Here is a recap of the last couple days.

SUNDAY - My quilt guild has a quilt show every other year.  This weekend was our show.  I volunteered to work at the show all day Sunday.  I won an award for Best Machine Quilting.  I only have a couple of quilt awards so this was very special.  I have many running ribbons, trophies and plaques.  I have many more opportunities to win a running award than a quilting award.  I enter a quilt in a show once every other year.  I enter lots of races.

MONDAY - I was planning on running but it rained.  I exercised in the house.

TUESDAY - This was my workout.  I ran five miles and what was supposed to be tempo pace.  I am not very good at hitting any pace.  It felt like a hard workout.

WEDNESDAY - This was another workout in the house day.  I had a long day of work then Jim had dinner ready.  There is enough light to run in the evening but I need my food to settle before I can run or bad things happen with my GI system.

Planning for the future.  I like to run one race a month (sometimes more)

Here is 2018 so far:

January - Jan 1 Commitment Day Run- coldest race I ever ran.
February - Castlewood Cup - Muddiest race I ever ran.
March - Holy Infant Shamrock Shuffle - fun race close to home

Tentative plan for rest of year:

April - Go St. Louis Half Marathon, Wildwood Be Brave Arbor Day 5K
May - Senior Olympics
June - Ballwin Days 5K and 1Mile
July - Get Your Butt Kicked at Rte 66
August - Alpine Shop Trail Run Series at Castlewood
September - Labor Day 5K (part of senior Olympics)
October - Chesterfield Gumbo Flats 5K
November - Skippo (Distance to be determined)
December - Wildwood Trail Marathon

December or Janaury I need to start training for Boston.  I'm sure I will be training with my slug sister.
