Weekend running in the country


I love going to my in-laws.  They are some of the best people I know.  They live in the middle of nowhere in a very beautiful part of the world.  And they love my kids like crazy!  Anyway, every time I am here, I must run!  There's just nothing like running on a hilly dirt road with the only company being a few dogs, the birds, the rising sun and my music. 
So yesterday I ran about 6.5 miles total.  First, I ran about 4.5 on my own.  I came back to the house to get my husband who said he wanted to go walk with me after I finished running and he finished his Insanity work out for the day.  Well, we ended up going up the street to help grandma move a giant tractor tire instead.  So sitting aroung grandma's, my husband asked if I wanted to run down to the stop sign (about 1/2 mile one way).  I said sure!  He is trying to get ready for the Warrior Dash we are doing later this month in Jackson, MS, so I always go if he asks.  So we start running and get close to the stop sign and decide to keep running for another 1/2 mile. We turn around to come back and are getting close to grandma's and decide that we should sprint to the driveway.  Well, my calves were on fire when we stopped!  My legs are still pretty sore but I think I am still going to have to get out and run this morning before church.  I just cannot pass up the opportunity!
Going to do at least one more week of Phase III of X2 but am thinking of then doing  a rest week and starting Insanity.  We will see.  Happy running everyone!
