9 Miles and PHAT GIRLZ

This morning I drove to beautiful Fairhope, which is the next little town over from where I live, to do this weekend's long run.  This is a ladies only group that has recently formed in this area and I'm excited to be a part of it!  Last week they had 3 women who met and this week there were 13!  They do a 3 mile loop or a 5 mile loop and there are runners, and run/walkers.  I ran 4 miles before meeting up with everyone and then ran the 5 mile loop with the group.  I kept an average 9:24 min/mile.  It was great meeting everyone and I really needed a change of scenery!  After the run they made us do push ups and abs workouts.  I was exhausted but it felt great!
This picture of the group was emailed to me and I couldn't make it any bigger.


When I got home I was pretty hungry so I made a southwestern egg sandwich with red and green peppers, tomato, and cheese.  Oh, it was exactly what I needed!


Now, I feel nice and perky after a 2.5 hour nap!  I hope you all enjoy your weekend.  Yay for fall, cooler weather, and October!!!

  8. That sandwich looks awesome! You often have pretty good meals after your runs. That's great incentive for running! :) I'm glad that you found a group of women to run with and a new place to run too. Sometimes, changing the scenery brings new life into running. Hope you're having a great weekend!
