6's

So, it's been a crazy couple of weeks. After the move and dealing with all of the crap that moving entails, it's finally starting to get back to normal around the house. Almost. We still have a set of boxes to unpack and still some organizing and cleaning to do, but for the most part, the house is starting to come together.

Got the running back on track last week, which felt nice. Throw in some nice Houston weather and it was amazing. Did my fastest 6-miler on Saturday morning, not as cool of a morning that I was hoping for, but still nice. Completed 6.35 miles in 69 minutes. I hope I can re-create that time this weekend at the Monster Mash 10K. Ultimately my goal is to beat my mom's 10K time of 72 minutes that she did this weekend. She will be there to cheer on me & Monique, but she's not running this one. But, I do totally want to beat her time so I can brag! I'm excited about that.

I also realized that my times are much better when I run at night. I guess the sun really puts a damper on my morning runs. I think I feel more energized in the evening than so in the AM. I only wish they held races at night. That would be sweet.
