Just one race at a time

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.

Six easy miles with Heidi and then one on my own.  I will try and get three more in tonight but may not have the time.

Half mile warm up and then 4.5 miles at marathon pace 3% decline 

Lifted for legs

Spin class - we did tabatas, they are intervals that are 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. We did that for eight minutes. After a two minute rest we added more gears and did it again.  Another two minute rest, more gears and one last time we were on for eight minutes.  It was so hard!

worst run ever!  I had a really hard spin class yesterday, I was really feeling it right from the start.  This is why I think the miles are so slow.  However that is not the reason the run was bad.  I kept getting interrupted so rather than one long run I had 6 short ones! Not sure how to really count these miles, because it was not a 19.5 mile run, it was more like 3+3+3+2.5+4+4

First three miles with Heidi - 9:40, 9:29,9:18

3 By myself - 8:58, 8:56, 9:00

Now is when the run first got derailed.  I ran in woke my teenager up for school, she got really grumpy and it took me 45 minutes to get her out the door.

I then headed out for 11 more miles.  At mile 8.5 I started to feel really light headed, I knew I needed to eat.  I was a half mile away from Ensteines (sp) so I stopped in for bagel and chocolate milk. - 9:08, 9:11, 9:17

I headed out again and felt much better at 11.5 miles I stopped by my house to kiss my honey goodbye before he left on a trip. - 9:11, 10:46 (forgot to stop my watch at a light and running up hill)

Left to do the last few miles got 1.5 miles out and it started to snow really hard kept going for .5 miles and then turned around finished the four miles soaking wet and freezing. - 10:15, 9:10, 8:54, 9:15

I quickly changed out of my cold wet clothes and did 4 miles on the treadmill.  Really at this point I was so frustrated that I just walked on the treadmill so I am not sure if I should count these miles but I will because they still hurt which is sad in and of itself!

Clark is one today!!!!

Travel day to race.

I had a long race report all typed out and then pushed the wrong button on lost it.  I am not willing to type it again sorry.  I am not feeling well I will try to type it again tonight.
