8 slow miles I started outside but only did one mile before I decided that it was too cold and I really didn't hate my treadmill that much after all :)

I wanted to run with Heidi today, she could only run at 4:30 after her oldest son got home from school.  I started my run at 3:00 and ran 8 marathon pace miles.  Met up with Heidi and we did 4 more miles.  We had not ran for a while together and it was so much fun to run with her again. 

Splits: 8:22, 8:48, 8:26, 8:06, 10:15, 9:12, (last two miles are hill miles), 8:36, 9:42, 8:59, 10,26, 9:27, 8:14

Ran 9.5 miles with an average pace of 8:46 marathon pace for me.  Even the hills were easier today

Ran 5.5 miles with Heidi.  The one slow mile her kids called and we walked while she helped them out but other than that mile I think we did great!

Splits:8:58, 8:48, 8:47, 8:17, 9:10, 9:33, (hill miles) 8:22, 8:33, 8:29, 9:19, 9:07, 9:23, 10:51, 9:23, 10:00

Woke up with a horrible back pain.  I have a muscle in my back the knots up every now and then making it hard to even brush my teeth let alone run.  I took some of my husband prescription muscle relaxers, big mistake, I woke up 6 hours later just in time to babysit my grandson.  No running for me and by back didn't even feel better.

Six fast miles and then four with Heidi.  I had to walk for part of the run with Heidi.  I forgot to eat lunch and dinner before the run and I started to get light headed.

Easy miles on the treadmill before yoga, I got to the gym late and thought running would be more beneficial than the elliptical. 

Yoga

Six easy miles with Heidi and then 14 on my own.  We were dressed way to warmly when I got back to my house I stripped down to just a long sleeve running top, running tights and a baseball hat.  Four the next 7 miles I was loving the weather.  My run was going so great.  I went into a gas station to refill my water and use the restroom.  When I came out the wind was blowing hard and it was raining.  If I had gloves I think I could have made it home but I ran for another mile and I was freezing called my husband and I finished the last six on the treadmill.

Splits: 9:39, 9:36, 9:13, 11:02 (Heidi ate GU), 9:20, 8:50, 8:43, 8:34, 8:27, 8:34, 8:42, 8:41, 8:46, 8:38

I have not been very good at blogging this week and I don't think it will get much better.  My son and his wife are taking online college classes and because they don't have internet at their house they are using my computer.  When I can get on it is much more fun to read what you all are doing then to post what I am.

7X800 meter repeats with 400 meter rest.  7:30 pace they really seemed easy today.  I almost thought I was doing the math wrong.  Half mile warm up and cool down.
