| I think I am mean babysitter when it comes to running and the little one I watch. She mostly cries, look bored, and gets scared by anyone else that runs on a TM by me. 7 miles in the baby room. I also woke up this morning and did a few cross fir workouts and stretched for 30 minutes. About 50% of my flexibility is gone since I stopped teaching dance last year. My hamstrings I think are beyond repair. :( | |

10k race in Del Rio!!! David and I decided that we would race today. He registered for the 5k and I registered for the 10k. Both races were $20. I don't think I have ever paid $20 for a race at late registration, nice. This was a chipped time race, rare for Del Rio... The chips went around the ankle and were extremely uncomfortable. By the time David and I had warmed up I knew the chip would cause a case of chafing. By the end of the 10k, sure enough, I had chafing around my ankle from the stupid chip. Starting line.... They had mats to run across at the start line BUT they were not set out. They also had a mass start and told the 10k folk to go clear to the back....???? I stayed at the back of the 5k mass. This really bothered me since I had to swim through the 5k folk when the race started. Started running and it was going well until my left shoe was untied. Lame. Had to pull over. It wasn't until well past a mile I noticed I had not started my watch! Rookie mistakes! What was I thinking? The course was challenging, I won't lie. Lots of rolling hills and of course the Beast from the East Texas wind making it's appearance. I maintained the lead for the women for the entire race. I think I was 4th overall. I walked a little at mile 4.5 to let my heart rate fall. Finished in 46 min or a little under. I was actually pleased with my time and performance today. David took 2nd at the 5k with a 19:12 or something like that. I was proud of the hubby for coming off of one of the most stressful years of his life and still being able to run so strong. He really amazes me. We waited around for the results for 2 HOURS!!!!! Then the RD said they had a mis-hap with the results and sent EVERYONE home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Sadly, I was not surprised. Del Rio for ya. Pretty sad that those that performed extremely well did not get recognized. The winner of the 10k ran it in 33 minutes. He was from a running club in Mexico. Too bad I can't hop the border to go and run with what seemed a pretty decent running club.

| 8 miles on the TM. Today is the day we find out where we will be stationed next. More importantly, my husband will find out what he will be flying for the Air Force. In other words, I am more nervous than I have been about any marathon. | |

| Looks like we will be staying 260 miles from anywhere (Del Rio) for another 3-4 years. Seesh, it's not as bad as it sounds. 10 miles on the TM since it was 80 outside with 80% humidity. I just wasn't in the mood to face that. Went downtown to Del Rio to check out a Zumbathon. Totally lame. There were about 10-15 people standing in the rain by a stage. I didn't really know if they were planning to dance/workout or not?? My friend and I left and drove home. I get Zumba certified next week. I hope to put a kick butt class together and teach somewhere in Del Rio a few times a week. It will be a great change from running. My husband was selected in his class flight to be an Instructor Pilot here. I am really proud of the hard work he has already put in this last year. They don't select the weak to be instructors. I think he will rock!!! On a positive side to staying in Del Rio, he will be less likely to deploy. I get to see my husband a little bit most days. :) He will still be putting in 12+ hours everyday. Another positive note is that we will be staying in San Antonio for a few months. HELLOOOOO running clubs. :) For sure I will find some runners in the city, I just have to. |

| Crazy Zumba class that worked me harder than any other Zumba class I have tried. Weights with my friend Mindy. She has challenged me to a 90 day workout with weights, diet and cardio. I would like to do it! Zumba Certification all day tomorrow!! I am SUPER stoked! I have already been putting combinations and music together. |

| I am assuming David and I ran about 6 miles around Lackland AFB. We watched some fellow Basic Trainees march around the base. Cool base, crappy hotel. | |

| 7 miles at the Navy Base in Corpus Cristi. Yep, I think I could live there. Running toward the ocean worked me however. The wind was very fierce and salty. Very humid and hot! Ocean water was warm and beautiful. Beach was empty. | |

| Base 5k today! David and I registered and waited around for the 9:30 race start for about an hour. As usual, there were hardly any runners. Over the past year, the races have been getting less and less people. So sad, the workers that run the races don't care and they don't really advertise. The weather had dropped from 90 to 60 in a day so it felt very cold to us! David and I warmed up a little and watched the little kids run an 800 meter race on the track. They gave the kids prizes and then had us line up for the race. The race course is always the same, so we knew where we were off to. I actually felt really good for most of the race. I was in second (behind my husband) for the majority of the race until a dude sprinted into the finish. :( David won and I was the first woman, but they awarded me as third place. This was the best 5k time I have had on any base 5k, so I was proud. | |
