So good to have a little company this morning. We should get a couple of runs in sometime. We didn't get to talk much. It’s hard to get a word in with Alana carrying both sides of the conversation.

very emotional and hard day for my family. we lost my oldest niece to Type 1 Diabetes.  I ran 8 with alana in the morning and we back in the later for 9 more. I needed some alone time.  The  afternoon run was an awsome run. I used  it as  my tempo run. I warmed up for the first 2 miles and ran the last 7 at a tempo pace. Greatful that I am able to run.
