Ran eight miles and then came home for a drink/potty break.  The plan was to turn around and do 8 more.  When I got home my grandson was crying, I could tell my son needed a break so I held him for about a half hour.  By that time my clothes were all sweaty so I changed and did three more.

Why is my grandson such a huge distraction?  I would rather play with him than do anything else.  I tell my son that if he didn't live with us I would speak fluent Japanese, run 7:00 minute miles and always have a clean house :)

So few miles today for so many reasons.  I got to the gym late for one but the main reason is that something must have been it the Pad Thai I ate last night.  I had to go pee every 15 minutes which really cut into my workout time.

Lifted for legs

Spin class - Really hard class, I hit puke pace three times!

The plan was to run 10 with my friend and then 5 on my own.  My friend got very sick at mile 3 we walked two more miles and then she ended her run at 5 miles.  I did 10.5 on my own.  They felt very good  I kept the pace nice and slow I was happy with how strong I felt at the end.  I even ran up the last hill that I normally walk.

Splits: 10:41, 11:07, 11:19, 14:04, 16:02, 9:37, 9:27, 9:17, 9:11, 9:31, 9:00, 6:25 (that can't be right) 14:13 (that is not right either!)8:54, 9:40,  Looks like it might be time for a new Garmin?

This run almost didn't happen woke up at 6:00 got all ready and headed to the front door only to see two inches of snow on the ground.  Where I run is so hilly I was afraid I would be slipping and sliding all over the road.  

Went up stairs, started to take my shoes off to go back to bed and then I remembered I had a pair of Yaktrax that I had never used...I put my trail shoes on with the Yaktrax and headed out the door.  They worked great!  I only used the Yaktrax for the first mile but at least they got me out the door!

Splits:9:16, 9:08, 9:05, 8:52, 9:48, 9:44, 8:52, 9:06, 9:01, 8:59, 8:47, 9:28, 8:49, 8:29

The miles that are slower are mostly up hill miles so I am happy with the consistency.

Four easy miles and the home to wait for the Dish guy.  The plan was after he left run four more and the lunch with the bloggers...well he never came!  When I called to find out why he was late they said I was not authorized to get that information.  I then had my husband leave a meeting call them and because he was not calling from the home phone he was not authorized to get than information either!

What a waste of a day!

Ran the first 6 with Heidi's husband, I had never ran with him before without Heidi.  Neither of us knew each others pace and so we ran the first mile faster than either of us wanted to.  Finished the last 6.5 on my own felt pretty good wished I had time for more.

Splits: 8:49, 9:30, 9:27, 9:23, 9:36, 9:07, 8:47, 8:54, 8:52, 9:07, 8:31, 8:37

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ten miles although they were not really all that easy.  I was slipping and sliding so much even with my yaktrax on.  Did the first 8.5 outside and then the last 1.5 on the treadmill.  Six of these miles were suppose to be at marathon pace but I was just happy to be outside and running! (first three on my own and then 5.5 with Heidi)
