Another day in the life of momma fly… today was the last day of week 4. Why is it that it feels like it has been so much longer than that…. and today was the 10 mile day…. or SO I THOUGHT! I don’t know how I got it in my head that today was  10 miles…. But I did. so I RAN IT! DUMB DUMB DUMB…. I could have gotten off only running NINE!!!! OH WELL! I am a week ahead than. LOL… does that mean I get an extra week of rest? Yeah, I didnt think so. But it was worth a try.

So this is the rout that I took today… and i need to give you the week over view. It will be different BY FAR than other weeks I have shared. Why? you ask… well I will give you the way it was supposed to look. than I will tell you what it DID look like. : ) ready or not here it comes….

It was sore in the begining but it is well. and I have Advil and ice. : )
