Solo Saturday Morning

I really wish I had a running buddy... I think I would really improve more quickly if I had someone there to help push me when I start to get tired or just run at an OK pace. But today was three straight days of morning runs and it was so nice!

There is a gym not far from my house that is open 24 hours so I decided to take my card with me on this run and if I felt like popping in to do a short body circuit I could. 

Around 2.4 miles I was there so I figured why not! Two rounds of 

10 push ups

20 dips

30 jumping jacks

40 sit ups/bicycle

I had been contemplating what to do with the leftover turkey all night. Dave doesn't like soup so I usually know I need to make it while he is on hitch or only make enough to eat for lunch when he is home.

I used the leftover drippings from the turkey as a good base and then made a creamy turkey kale soup!

Can't wait to try it for lunch!

Early mornings....Love when I can start my days with my Asics!

It is about 45 minutes one way to get to Corpus Christi which is where most of my runs are so my drives usually consist of watching the sunrise over farm roads

Ainsley's Angels! 

There is a special place in Heaven for these folks. And if I could run while pushing a stroller I would volunteer.
However I was passed by people with dogs and strollers on this run! 

I had fun and I finished...that is all that matters in my book!
