6 miles 45 miutes

 .25 cool down

Slow run on the treadmill at home.  

So I had to make up for not running yesterday!  Surprisingly I felt great, maybe I should take more days off.  

8 miles 59 minutes 

Another day of great running.  It felt so nice outside (40 degrees).  I ran with Leslie and we ran the North route from the Y.  

I ran with Lori and Jason this morning.  The weather has been perfect for running.   Great Run!  

Ran with Jason this morning!  WE left Mckay in charge so this was a quick four miles.  

treadmill 7 miles 53 minutes.  

Today I was suppose to meet Leslie at the Y to run some speed work outside.  Instead she opted for the treadmill.  I ended up clocking in and ran with a group for .5 miles and then took off.  With the idea of Leslie running speed work inside I tried to really push it.  I tried to run a 7:15 pace for 5 miles.  I then went in and ran 1.5 on the treadmill at a 7:15 -6:55 pace.  Hopefully we can get that a little faster as I continue to add a little speed work.  

.25 cool down 

Slow, long, four miles on my treadmill at home.  The kids had a snow day because of the freezing rain so I resorted to my treadmill at home.   Definitely an easy day.

Today I ran outside with Lori and Leslie.  Leslie turned back a little early she only needed 6 because she's running 16 tomorrow.  Lori and I wanted to run long so we kept going.  I felt like we really pushed it today but, I don't have official times because I didn't wear my watch. 

Today Jason and I ran on the treadmill at the Y.  We really didn't want to pay for a babysitter.   I felt great today so I pushed it.  

Avg. Pace 7:15

Finally I'm back, well sort of!!!  I have been resting a strained Calf muscle.  It seems like I have been getting injured a lot more lately.  I'm really going to try and add in some cross training and maybe a little weight lifting and see if it helps.  Also I need to get outside more-- I think that stupid treadmill is the reason for my last injury.  I always get on there and have to push it.  That exactly what I did about three weeks ago.  Three straight days of long speed work is not good and eventually I felt the punishment!  You would think after all my years of running I would be smarter than that.  But, there's always a need for more speed!  

Anyway it felt good to run a little today.  I ran a slow pace not wanting to push it.  

5 miles 8:30-9:00 pace.

Easy Run on my treadmill at home!  

Ran 6 at the Y. 

Avg. Pace 8:20 

Turbo Kick!!!  Thursday is going to be my attempt to cross train.  There's a really great Turbo Kick class at the Y that I'm going to start taking every Thursday.   I need a little variation to my workout so mixing it up should help.  

 I couldn't resist and did 2 miles on the treadmill.   

Today was a big bummer, it was a beautiful sunny day and I was looking forward to a run outside with Leslie and Lori (since my injury I haven't been able to run with them) and I couldn't go.  Beckham was running a high fever and I really couldn't justify taking him to the Y for his swim and Gym class-- so this means no outside running today.  Instead I ran 6 miserable miles on my treadmill.  It was awful!!!  I was so wanting to try 8 today with the girls.  I guess it will have to wait until next week.   

I officially start training for the Geist half next week.  

After a weekend break I was ready to get back running.  I met Holy today at the Y and we ran 7.5 miles.  Avg. Pace 8:09, I think.  It was a great run and it felt good to get outside.    

Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill 7:47-8:00 pace and then did an athletic conditioning class at the Y.  OKay so this class was so hard and I was sweating a lot.  I guess the instructor is following a program called insanity.  I honestly thought I was going to die.  So looks like I will be attending this class weekly.  

Ran slow at home on the treadmill.  

Turbo Kick.  I really had to refrain from getting on that treadmill.  Today is Cross Train day.  

I ran outside today.  It was beautiful sunny day but, it was windy and a little cold.  I felt good and my calf muscle felt good.  I think I'm on the mend.  5 miles outside and 2.5 on the treadmill.  

Avg. Pace 7:30 

Jason and I were going to run outside this morning but, we woke up to snow.  I even had a babysitter coming and everything.  When I saw the snow I just knew it would be a waist and I didn't want my babysitter driving in the snow so I cancelled.  The day got way out of control with soccer, baseball practices, basketball tournament, and a Pacers game.  But, I did manage to fit in a lousy four miles on the treadmill.  Hopefully it stops snowing so I can get up early and get my run in before the chaos begins.  

Ran 7 miles today outside.   I felt great and so I tried to push it a little bit.  I really have got to start wearing the watch.  It's been such a nice vacation from it but, I think it's time I wear it so I can know my splits.  Today I officially started training for my half in May.   

Ran three miles on the treadmill avg. pace 7:45.  Then I went to my athletic conditioning class which is HELL!!!  I'm seriously not in that kind of shape and it kicks my but.  I guess she's doing some program called Insanity and at times I question my sanity!!!  Anyway hopefully it will help me get in better shape.  

Ran 6 miles outside with Holly!  It was a great day for running.  

Avg. Pace 8:15

Today I ran four miles avg. pace 7:20 and then did a kickboxing class for an hour.  Today is cross training day.  Tomorrow I'm hoping to get out for a long run with Leslie and Lori.  It looks like the weather is going to be nice.    

Today I ran outside with Leslie and Lori.  The weather was so nice and sunny.  It was a great running day and it was so good to be out with Leslie and Lori.  

10 miles avg. pace 7:50

Ran outside with Jason this morning.  A little chilly but, overall a great run.  

8 miles avg. pace 8:00

It felt so good to be outside this morning and I finally got to run in short sleeves.  I was a little overdressed and wish I had worn shorts but, I managed.  I was suppose to run a fartlek today but I'm planning on doing speed work with Leslie on Wednesday so I didn't wear my watch.  But, when I got out there it felt so great that I really pushed it.  I think I was a little ambitious at the first because by mile 5 I was a little tired.  But, I tried to keep pushing.  I would run three block hard and 1 block cool down.  I really have got to start wearing the watch so I can get accurate miles and times.  

7 miles 

Insanity workout today.  I ran three mile before at an 7:30 pace which felt great.  The class however kicks my butt.  We had another fit test today and I have seen improvements so I guess it's working.   I decided to cool down on the treadmill for another two miles.   I'm really going to feel this tomorrow and I'm questioning if I over did it today???  

5 miles  

Today Leslie literally kicked my butt.  I was expecting speed work but, not 10 miles with it.  I survived but, definitely realized I'm not in marathon training shape.   We ran 2.5 miles warm up and then did mile repeats.    We averaged 6:30-6:45 pace.  The second repeat I only made it an 800.  But, finished the third one. I got a little tired the last one and couldn't keep up with Leslie but, I finished it.   We were suppose to do a fourth but, talked ourselves out of it.   The last 2.5 miles home the wind was blowing and I could really feel the fatigue in my legs from the previous day and just not being in speed work shape.  I was definitely tired and realized I need more mile repeats.  

 10 miles

Very Slow 3 miles.  I needed to recovery, my legs were toast after two hard workouts.  

Nice and Easy run with Leslie.  The weather was perfect and I was surprised that I felt so good.  

10 miles avg. Pace 8:00

Jason was out of town so I ran on the treadmill so I could get the free babysitting.  Pretty good run.  

6.5 miles avg. pace 745 

Treadmill run!  I felt pretty good once I got a mile or so in.  

8 miles avg. pace 7:30  

I ran 2 miles before class and 3 miles after.  Tuesdays are Insanity workout.  It's crazy but, I'm definitely seeing improvements.  

Today I ran with Jason because he is on Spring Break.  We ran around an 8 minute pace.  We had some fast miles in there but, ran slow with some ladies for 2 miles which lowered are overall pace.  Great day for running.  

Ran again with Jason-  not sure on our pace.  

Today Jason and I ran with Lori and Leslie for a 10 mile run.  It was so nice outside and the weather was perfect.  

Avg. Pace 7:57 

Ran on the Treadmill today.  I was a little sluggish mainly I think because I ran a lot last week and also I wasn't feeling great last night.  I was just glad to put in the miles.  I did get eight avg. pace 7:30-8:00 

Insanity workout!!! Today Kimberly really kicked my butt.  It could be the fact that I ran four miles before but, it could also be the fact that she wanted to kill us.  I managed to get in another slow 1.5 miles on the treadmill after.  I was going to stretch it to 2 but, I really didn't have the will power.  Tomorrow I'm running 10 with Leslie so I have to save a little energy.

4 miles 31 minutes

1.5 9:00   

10 mile run with Leslie.  Her watch said we averaged 8 minute miles.  But, we had a bathroom stop and we stopped a few times for water.  So I'm going to say we ran more like 7:45 or a little less.  

Ran on the Treadmill at home.  Slow and Easy 6.  

Ran with Lori and Leslie this morning. It was a little chilly this morning. Leslie turned around at 3.5 or so and Lori and I kept going so I don't have an accurate pace. Hoping for 12 tomorrow.

Ran 13 this morning.  It was pretty cold out there this morning with a strong wind.  I'm not sure on pace but, it felt like an 8 minute pace.  I pushed it at the end and really tried to stretch out my legs the last 3 miles.   It did help that the wind was finally at my back.  

Long and slow on the Treadmill at home.  My legs were a little tired today and it took me a couple of miles to get going.  

Ran 3.5 before class avg pace 7:45.  We did speed work in class.  I think we ran a 1.5 but, not sure could have been more.  I'm counting 1.5.  We did ladders and sprints.  It was just what I needed.   We also did lunges, push ups, and triceps.  

After I felt so good I decided to jump on the treadmill, ran 3 at a 7:14 pace.   

Ten easy miles with Leslie.  She had just ran 22 the day before so we took it easy.  I did do some sprints in there when Leslie was walking a little bit.  She really strained her legs the day before and didn't want to push it.  Avg. Pace 8:30.

four miles at 7:38 pace and 1 hour of Turbo Kick.  

Ran with Lori today!  My legs were pretty sore today and it was hot.   

Jason and I got our run in before the rain came.  Good Run!  

Ran 4.5 in the morning on my treadmill at a slower pace.  I then ran four tonight at a 7:45 pace with Jason.  Kids are on Spring Break so I have to be a little more creative with my workout.  I doubt this will be a high milage week.  

Ran on the treadmill at the Y.  I felt a little sluggish at first but, then settled in.  

Avg. Pace 7:40  

Spring Break is really messing with my running schedule.  I didn't have time for a longer run because I had promised to take the kids to the movie.  I ran 2 miles with Beth and then ran 2.3 on my own.

Hopefully Thursday will be more productive.  I don't have high hopes for this week.   

Today was a much needed run!  I felt great and my legs felt good.  It's amazing not running 10 on Wednesday makes such a big difference for today's run. 

8.5 avg. pace 7:20  

Ran today with Lori!  We ran the course 7 minutes faster today.  We did 9.25 miles in 69 minutes.    That averages to be somewhere in the sevens.  It was a little chilly today so that could be the reason for why we felt great.   

Jason was a little sick today so we cut the run short!  Oh well, I have to admit my legs were a little tired and 8 sounded nice.  

Ran with Marissa for a few miles before she turned back.  I purposefully didn't wear the watch today.  I didn't want the pressure of running fast.  I think I was running a pretty good pace-- everything felt great.    I love my New Balance shoes, they are so light and I feel like I run so much faster with them on.  I'm definitely going to have to buy another pair.   

8.5  

Ran with Leslie this morning.  We did 7.5 and then I jumped on the treadmill for a fast 1.5.  

So I didn't have the watch to know our exact distance so I'm purely guessing.  I do think we were somewhere between 9 and 9.5 so I went somewhere in the middle.  

No running today!  I was so busy packing up my house-- no fun!!!  I'm hoping to get in a good run tomorrow and Wednesday.  I'm hoping for an okay week with the move and all.  

Today I was really sluggish and weak.  I could tell that I have been running crazy, moving, and I'm totally exhausted.    Once I got past four or five miles I got into a rhythm but, still not feeling 100 percent.  I'm really surprised I got 8.5 miles.   The fact that I didn't run yesterday really haunted me.  

8.5 miles avg pace 7:50  

9 miles avg. pace 7:20

7 miles avg pace 7:30

Ran with Leslie this morning.  She just ran a marathon on Sunday so we took it easy.  I ran 7 miles with her at around an 8:30 pace.  I then went and run 3 miles on the treadmill at a 7:15 pace.  Everything is feeling really good this week.  

7.5 treadmill miles at a 7:50 Pace

Today was hot, humid, windy, and miserable.  WE all really struggled today but, we finished.  Not sure on our pace-- I think it took us 1 hr 12 minutes to run 9.25-- if I remembered right.  

Ran today on the TM because of the rain.  I ran the first 4.75 at a 7:50 pace then I ran the second 5.25 at a 6:58 pace.  

Today was Speed work on the Treadmill.  I had planned to do 8-10 800's.   I warmed up for 2 miles at a 7:45 pace.  I really was dreading the speed work but, after my first it wasn't too bad.  I tried to get most of the 800's under 3 minutes and have a recovery lap in between at a 8:00 pace.  Most of them were right around 2:55 and not one was over 3 minutes.  On my fifth I even did a 2:45.  I felt really good about the run.  I ended up with 6 800's and did one mile repeat at a 6:30 pace.  Overall I ran 10 miles in 70 minutes and 15 seconds.  

Ran 6 miles outside and it was so hot.  I decided to come inside on the TM for the last 2.  I was a little tired today.  Took it easy 8 avg pace 8:00.  

10 miles in 72 minutes avg. pace 7:14 

Ran with Leslie and Lori this morning!  It was hot and humid.  

 10 miles in 1 hr 17 minutes.   

Wow the wind was so strong this morning.   I felt like I was running into the mouth of Sp. Fork Canyon.  IT was okay for the first 5 but, pretty miserable for the second 5.  WE just took it easy today.  I did love the cooler temps.  IT would have been a perfect day without that wind. 

Ran 7 outside by myself and then jumped on the treadmill for 2 more.  I don't know the pace because I didn't wear a watch-- I really think I do this on purpose.  I ran the last two in 14 minutes so a 7:00 Pace. 

Monday night I was really achey and not feeling so hot so I took today off.  I can't get sick now with my race coming up next week.  

So feeling a little better-  well when aided with Ibuprofen.   I'm starting to feel the chest cold coming on.  After feeling so incredibly lazy yesterday I had to get some running in.  So I went 5 in 38 minutes.  

Still not 100%.   The flem is really present hopefully this is a sign that everything is being flushed away.  Today after my tanning experience-- ( I decided to utilize the free tanning bed at the apartment and got completely fried.  Not a good idea because most of my body hasn't seen the sun nor a tanning bed in ages) I was plagued by itchy skin.  As soon as I started to sweat it was unbearable.   I thought I was going to die.  I will definitely not be frequenting the tanning bed anytime soon.   So I really wanted to do 5 miles keeping low key because I'm not feeling all to well but, it was shortened to 4 because I thought I was going to itch my skin off.  Anyway I hope tomorrow is better, I need one good run this week before my race next week.    

Ran 1 mile slow then 3 miles under 7 minutes per mile and then ran last mile slow.   It tried to run the first 800 in 6:40-6:30 then the second 800 at a 7:00 pace during the three miles.  

Ran with Leslie today, nice and easy run.  

TM easy run 5 miles 8:00 Pace.  

7:30 Pace for 6 

Ran 5 miles on TM  at 7:30 Pace then had to switch TM because of the time limit.  Ended up doing to last 2 miles at a 7:15 pace, so maybe it's good I switched.  I was really worried about today's run because after the long weekend I had no energy.  I really should've ran yesterday but, I was lazy!!!  I will have to make up for it the rest of the week.  

7 miles avg. Pace 7:29 

Ran with Leslie this morning from her house!  It was fun to run out in the country and to run in cooler temps.  Nice run-- unsure on the time.

Ran with the Y group at 9:15 this morning and wow was it hot and humid.  I made it 5.11 outside then ran another mile inside.  Legs were a little heavy.  We were definitely  taking it easy today.  

Ran 6 miles on the TM in the morning.  Then I ran a 5K in the evening with Mckay.  It was his first 5K so it was fun to run with him.  He actually did pretty good 26:15.  He did get pretty tired the last mile and even threw up a block or two before the finish line.   He did win first in the kids division so he was happy that I pushed him to run hard.  

Ran 6 outside with Leslie.  It was actually a nice morning for running.  The sun was bright at 9 AM but, the temps were around 65.  It got a little hot at the end because of the bright sun but, overall a cool run.  

I then ran 1.5 miles on the TM when I got back in.   

Ran on the TM today.  7 miles 52 minutes.  Avg Pace 7:25.  

Took my kids to workout with me today.  This made things a little chaotic but, enjoyable.  Mckay and I did some sprints anywhere from 30-60 seconds at a 6:00-5:30 pace on the TM.  I had to get off my TM a few times to help the kids so my workout time got a little messed up.  I do know that I did do 4 miles in about 28:30, the rest is all over the place.  

 Ran another 1.5 this evening after a hip hop class at the Y.  I had a few minutes so I decided to jump on the TM.  

Grand Total for the day 8.5 miles

Today was a little hard for me to get going.  The legs just didn't want to cooperate so I ran a bit slower started at an 8:30 then eventually made my way to a 7:30.  It was a good run and nice to just chill out.  

Ran on TM it was way to hot to run outside.  I warmed up for a mile then ran a little bit harder for 6 miles.  Then took the last mile easy.  6 miles in 43:30 avg. pace 7:15.  

Bad running week because of company at trip to Chicago.  

Ran with Jason this morning in Chicago.  I was dying to get out and run because it had been two days since I had ran.  We got a little lost and I'm totally guessing on the mileage because Jason didn't have his watch.  But, based on time I think we ran 5. 

I need a Vacation from my Vacation.  Today was so sluggish for me.  I wanted to go running again at night to get more mileage but, never went.  

5 miles  

Ran 8 at a 7:30 Pace. 

Ran 4 outside in the heat and humidity and then ran 3 on the TM.   I don't know how I'm going to continue to run at 9:15 AM on 90 degree days with 100 % humidity??  I guess I will try and get a few miles outside then run on the TM.  

 Not sure on my pace wasn't wearing the watch.  3 miles pace was around a 7:40.  

 6 TM miles 7:40 Pace

So I didn't realize that I hadn't posted in some time.  Not really quite sure on the time.  

Ran with Jason!!  

Ran 4 miles on the TM then headed outside with Leslie for another 5.  It was so hot out and extremely humid.  I was one sweaty mess.  

So because I'm playing catch up I can't quite sure my time.  I thought I had done this in 48 minutes.  

Ran 6 in about 45 minutes then took the last mile a little slower.  

Ran 4 miles then did Turbo Kick at the Y. 

Ran 4 outside in the miserable heat then came in and ran 3 on the TM.  Treadmill miles at 7:30 Pace not sure about the 4.  

Ran 3.5 this morning.  I was going to run outside with Leslie but, it was way too hot and Jason didn't get home in time for me to go.  So I settled for another TM workout.  I ran 5 miles on the TM.  It was so hard to get this in.  I'm definitely not a night runner.  

This morning I ran with Lori at 6AM.  It felt so nice outside.  I was a little tired from the night before and I had some stomach issues.  I wish I felt 100 percent because it was beautiful this morning.  

Ran with Leslie and Carrie this morning.  We thought the weather was going to be cool but, that darn humidity made it a little miserable at the end.  

I was in a hurry today so only managed to get in 5.  I ran the first 4 in 29:30 and then took the last mile easy.  

Ran with Lori this morning.  The temps were perfect at 6AM.  I not used to running so early and I'm having some stomach issues.  But, overall it was a good run. 

TM workout.  Ran 2 miles at 8:oo Pace then pushed for 3, running it in 22 minutes.  Then I took the last mile slow.  

Ran with Lori this morning.  We ran 6 in 47 minutes.  It was really humid this morning.    

Ran 5 in 39 and then ran another easy another mile. 

Ran 7 miles in 52 minutes on the TM.  

6 miles this morning with Lori.  Nothing like a good morning run on your Birthday.  Then I hit Turbo Kick with some friends.  

6 miles 46 minutes 

Tm run and I can't remember the time.

Went later in the day and it was miserable.  

I was suppose to coach at the Y but, no one came so I opted to run inside on the TM.  

Ran the first 6 miles in 43 something minutes- 7:15 pace.  Took the last 1.5 easy and ran at about an 8 minute pace.   

Today I got up early and ran with Kelsey.  We ran 5 miles at a 9:00 pace.  It felt good to just take it easy.  I then rode the bike for 10 minutes, eliptical for 5 (waiting for someone to get off the TM), and then ran 2 more miles at a 7:40 pace.  

Humid run this morning with Lori.  You know when there's steam coming off the grass and that your glasses get fogged up from being outside that your in for a hot one.  WE got it done.  I ran 6 with Lori in about 46 minutes then ran 2 more on the TM.  

Turbo Kick Thursday with Julie.  My arms, back, and abs are already starting to feel sore.  I did manage to run 2 miles before Turbo and another 3 miles after.  

Lazy day today!  I didn't get a run in the morning because I was talking on the phone and being lazy.  I did manage to run on the TM and get a little bit of a workout.  

This morning ran with Lori and Jason for an 8 mile loop.  Weather felt great.  I had a few stomach issues and even had to make a pit stop but overall felt great.  Not sure on our time, Jason's Garmin was low on batteries.  I felt like we were running at pretty good pace.  

So I had to coach at the Y today so that means running outside at 9:15 AM, MISERABLE!!  Today, I ran with Marcus for a mile then ran into another runner who wanted to push it for about 3 miles.  We ran almost 3 in 21 something.  He pooped out then I ran the last mile back to the Y.  Not really sure what my pace was.  I then jumped on the TM to finish.  I ran 2 miles at a 7:15 pace then warmed down for a .5 mile.  Great run considering it was so hot outside.  

Muggy run this morning.  I ran with Katrina this morning.   I love when new runners move to the area.  Hopefully I didn't scare her off and she will come run with me again.  It is so nice to run in the morning and have someone to run with.  We ran 6 and then I ran another 2 on the TM.  

OK so it's sad when you can't remember yesterday's run.  I'm not sure if I ran 8 or 8.5 so I gave myself the extra .5.  I figure it really didn't matter.  Anyway the humidity was awful and I don't know if I have ever sweat so much.  Ran with Kelsey for 5.5 and then went on the TM for the rest.  Nice and Easy run today.  

I thought we were going to get a break from the humidity this morning with the storms last night but, that wasn't the case.  It was so muggy this morning.  When Lori and I finished I had sweat dripping from my arms and legs.  I'm almost positive I have never had that happen.  Anyway it was a sweaty one this morning.  We ran 6 in 47 minutes.  A little slower than normal but, we will just blame it on the humid morning.  

Nice run with Leslie this morning.  The weather finally cooperated.  

Ran with Lori and Jason.  We averaged around a 7:50 pace.  

All I can say is Hot and Muggy!!!  It has been so hot these last couple days.  Even at 6AM I come back just drenched in sweat.  

Ran 2.25 on TM.  I then ran with Leslie outside for another 7.  I was thinking of only running 5 outside because of the heat and humidity.  But, Leslie talked me into it.  We were dying by the time we finished.  It was 80 degrees when we started and it's going to be 96 today with a heat index of 104.   It was definitely hot at 9:15 AM.  

I was lucky to get a TM run in.  With Soccer and Football my Saturday runs are getting pushed to the side.  

Finally some cooler temps!  Nice run with Leslie this morning.  I think we averaged from 7:30-7:45 pace.  

Nice run this morning with Kelsey and Katrina.  Ran 6 with them then two more on the TM. 

Ran 6 with Katrina then ran another 3 on the TM.  I ran the 3 in 23 minutes not sure on the 6.  

Nice run this morning with Lori.  We ran a little over 6 and then I ran two more on TM.  I will also be doing Turbo kickboxing today. 

Hot run this morning with Leslie and Carrie.  On Fridays we run at 915 AM and on a 94 degree day it's just miserable.  We were all a little tired but we did it.  I think my legs are asking for a break.   I don't know what got into me this week.  

I felt the need to make up for not running on Saturday.  Legs were really heavy today and overall I didn't feel real great.  I ran 3 on TM at a 7:20 pace or a little less.  Then went outside to run with Leslie and some other guy, who felt the need to push today.  The first two miles were around 7:15 pace.   I knew that I wasn't going to be able to keep that up for another 5 miles so I relaxed back and ran by myself probably a little behind them somewhere around a 7:30-7:45 pace.  I then ran a relaxing mile on the TM.  I thought maybe I was in shape to run a marathon.  No, not quite.   I was really winded today and legs were so tired.  The weather was amazing this morning so I'm a little perplexed on why I felt so awful.  

Total for the day 10 miles.   

Easy run with Kelsey and Katrina this morning.  I'm loving these cooler temps.  

Nice run today with Leslie.  Avg. Pace 7:30-8:00

Nice run with Lori this morning.  We avg. around a 7:33 pace.  I then did Turbo at the Y.  

So I was really sore today from Turbo.   My arms, abs, and hamstrings were really tight.  I did a slow warm up on the TM for 2.5 miles then ran 6 miles with Carrie.  I then ran  1.5 on the TM.  Overall got 10 in.  

Nice run with Lori and Jason.  I'm guessing a little on the milage because my watch ran out of batteries.  

Overall a good run.  I think we averaged around 7:30. 

avg.  pace 7:35

Ran with Lori then did Turbo this morning.  

Ran with Leslie.  

Slow run with Michelle. 

This week is going to be a low week.  Utah trip always makes it hard to get miles a plenty.

Managed to get 6 in this morning. 

6 miles avg. pace 7:12.  Then Turbo kick for 1 hr.  

This is all we could get in with our crazy Saturday's!  

Ran with the Y group.  Pretty good little run.  

Early run with Kelsey and Katrina.  We avg. around 8:35. 

Ran with Katrina at 6 AM.  We ran faster then yesterday so I'm thinking around 8 minute miles.   I wanted to get more miles so when I dropped Beckham off the preschool I ran 6 more on the TM, Avg. Pace 7:45.  

8 mile run then an hr of turbo.  

Nice run with the Y group.  I ran 8.5 with them, then and sprinted on the TM for a little bit.  Avg pace for running group 8:22 with water, light stops, and bathroom stops.  So I would say we were probably more like a 7:45-8:00 pace.  I ran the last 1.5 at a 7:00 pace.  

TM run today.  I just took it easy.

8 miles and turbo kick

I was a little sick this morning.  I had body aches, swollen lymph nodes, and a sore throat.  I just walked three miles.  Family in town, makes it a little harder to get the miles in.  

Feeling so much better today!  I think an easy day yesterday was really helpful.  Today I ran with Lori.  I only had time for 6 miles before I had a long day of soccer, football, and Mckinley's baptism.  

Good run on TM Avg. Pace 7:19

Only had time for four today because I had to entertain family.  

Nice run this morning.  Ran 6.5 miles with Kelsey and Katrina and then went out for another 6 while Beckham's at school.   The weather was great and I felt really good.  Nice to be outside and running.  

Avg. PAce 7:35

Wow if I would have remembered that I needed 8.5 to get 50 this week I could've pushed for one more mile.  Oh well a mile short.  Good Run while I watched the Buckeye game.  Nothing like a football game to get the legs moving.  

Today's run was so cold.  My ears and fingers were aching by the end.  This Fall weather is driving me crazy.  It's hot and humid one day and then cold and bitter the next.  Anyway I got the run in.  I really wanted to get 10 but, when we hit the Y I was done.  I think we averaged around 8 minute miles.  

Nice easy run today!  The temps are still cold.  I might need to pull out the pants.  

Ran with Lori and Katrina this morning then did Turbo kick at the Y.  Nice morning for a run.  

Nice run with Leslie this morning.  The weather was beautiful, the legs felt great, and it was fun talking with Leslie.    I think we could've ran a few more miles.  

Ran with Leslie this morning.  Not sure on the first 7.  Ran three more on the TM at at 7:15 pace.  

So I'm thinking Katrina and I ran close to 6.5 this morning.  I need to maybe map that out the be sure but we will go with it for now.  I then came back and ran another 3 on the TM.  

Ran close to 7 miles this morning with Trina and then went out for 6 more when I dropped Beckham off to preschool.  Great morning for a run.  

Nice run with Lori this morning.  I was a little tired today so I opted for lower milage and no Turbo.  

This is all I could get in today!  Kids and sporting events make it so difficult to get a run in.  This was our last 8:00 AM travel Soccer game until Spring so hopefully we will get a better run in next weekend.

4.5 33 minutes 40 sec.  avg. pace around 7:30.  I had to stop a few times at the lights but, overall a decent run.  

Pumpkin Patch this morning got in the way of a longer run.  I have a feeling this week isn't going to be so great with the kids out on Fall Break.  I guess this will be an easy week.  Which may be needed.  My left foot is starting to show signs of Plantar Fasciitis.  

avg pace 7:30

Ran with Katrina this morning!  

Nice run with Lori and Leslie this morning.  WE ran 10 at a 8:19 pace.

Nice run with Christine and Jason this morning.  

Nice run with Leslie this morning.  The temps were perfect.  

I'm back but taking it easy.  Can still feel the foot so I need to take it easy.  This was a little more than I wanted but, I will take it easy the rest of the week.  

5 with an hour of Turbo.  The foot is feeling a whole lot better.  

I felt great today so I went out a little longer.  The foot felt great!!!  Hopefully it stay that way.
