Today and yesterday were pretty perfect running weather; low 50’s, sunny, light breeze. So I hurried home from work and set out for some miles.

Tuesday I did 4. An out and back from my house down the busiest street. 
Fun fact about Melissa: I don’t really like to run on trails. Lincoln has miles and miles of gorgeous trails but I prefer to run in neighborhoods. I like to look at homes and architecture as I run. I also like knowing there is traffic and people so no one can try to steal me. (I know, I’m weird.)

Today, I mapped a new route and headed out for 5 miles. 5.25 later I was home. I made the discovery that I live in a very hilly part of town. On one part of the downhill run I was running a 7:45/mile! Sweet!

I haven’t been able to run consistently outside for awhile so its been great to do it. I want to run 10-12 miles for my long run on Saturday. Its supposed to be 70 degrees and pretty perfect.  

Oh yes, and to answer some replies to recent posts…

Melanie-I think I must attract bugs! I killed a weird looking one in the bathroom tonight and a spider in my living room as well! The valve problem must have something to do with it! 🙂

Ashley-I’ve never ‘met’ anyone else with bicuspid aortic valve! Glad we’re both doing well!

Josh-I DO have unlimited data! I have an old verizon plan from when they bought Alltel (anybody even heard of that company?) and I have unlimited data from that. I’ve never thought about using the home and work wifi. 

Also-I have a date Friday with the texter—he was a good guy in person so I’m giving him another chance. I will keep you all posted. 

Happy hump day friends! 🙂
