Nine miles really easy I still feel like I am weak but there is no pain.  At this point I am wondering if I am afraid to push it any harder or if that is really as fast as my legs can go.  

First 2.2 miles I ran with a friend, she had her kids in the jog stroller so the miles were slow but fun!!!!!  I walked ALL the up hills even if they were short.

Splits: 10:35, 11:26, 9:33, 9:13, 10:22, 10:16, 9:41, 9:48,  last mile on the treadmill again to avoid the big hills.

Try doing some strides the next time you run. Strides are about 100m length. Run them fast but relax, strong start and cruise to end. Jog the same amount of time it takes to run the strides for rest intervals. You can do anywhere between 6 to 10. I'd run these towards the end of my recovery run. This will wake up your fast twitch muscle without putting too much stress on the body.

NICE 9 miles there! These long slow easy miles are good for building your base miles and just as important in marathon training! Keep it up!

GLAD there's no pain. Hammy must be healing well!

That is awesome that you were able to get in 9 miles without any pain.

Love you!
