Day 8, Day 9, and Day 10

This isn't my parents' farm, but this is what the area looks like. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Idaho? Well, I do. I love Love LOVE it! :) Just so ya'll know. Okay, no onto the running.

Well, I missed a few days. We had a few busy days with travel, visiting family, and just plain having fun. I didn't get any run or cross training in on day 8 and 9. But day 10, is starting off to be a good day.

I'm visiting my family in Idaho, and I was a little worried about the altitude change. The elevation where I live in Texas is 374 feet. In Idaho on my parents' farm, the elevation is at a nice 3573 feet. so, just a little bit of a difference. :)

I was surprised. I didn't die on my run. In fact, I felt pretty good. Part of it was probably that it was nice and cool and there wasn't much humidity. I don't have a super accurate distance on my run, but I'm going to guess it was something like this...

Today's Stats:

Distance: 1.81 miles

Time: 23 minutes

Pace: 12.7 minute mile

It was a nice run, I took my 12-year-old niece with me. I love coaching. She doesn't run much, but she did a great job with me this morning. I tried to convert her to the wonderful world of running, but I'm not sure I accomplished my goal. :) That's okay, it was nice to have a running buddy, even if only for one day.
