Just one race at a time

Rest day

4 ez miles I may do more tonight.  The schedule called for 7 hill repeats but after the race on Saturday my quads couldn't and shouldn't do hill repeats.

10 ez miles did the first 6 on my own than I ran into two of my neighbors who were walking and I walked 4 with them.  My legs were still sore and so I was so happy to walk with them.  We  had a great conversation and tons of fun!

splits:9:29, 9:04, 8:56, 9:34, 9:27, 9:41, 17:14, 17:25, 17:25, 18:30

4.5 miles.  I wanted to go to the gym and work on my downhill form.  I knew if I went I would be tempted to go to spin class and that might hurt my back.  I went 10 minutes late to the gym to prevent myself from going to spin.  It didn't work I just ran faster and skipped lifting. 2 miles @ 9:13 2 miles @ 8:34 .5 miles @ 7:30

Spin - hill intervals my back feels ok...I think I will go to spin next week too.

Started out for a ten mile run.  I wanted to see how many miles I could get done at marathon pace before I died.  I didn't want to carry water so I planned on going out 3.5 miles then come back to my house for a drink then finish the last three miles around my house. I finished the six and here are their spits

9:01, 8:41, 8:39, 8:58 (hill 400 North) 8:45, 8:26, 

At this point I saw a runner going the other way who I see on my route all the time.  She has the best smile and I wanted to meet her so I turned around and ran with her. A little slower than I wanted but I found out she knew my daughter...small world. splits for that mile

9:09

Ran by myself for the next mile

8:56

Ran into my neighbor whos baby was crying in the baby jogger.  I joined her, she held the baby and I pushed to jogger.

12:17

I arrived at my house chatted with the neighbor exchanged recipies...dicided it was too hot to finish the last mile.

6 miles on the elliptical 11% resistance.  I felt fast today and got it done in 39:44

Lifted for legs

Yoga - We did back bends today.  I was worried when class started that I would injure my back more.  I really concentrated on doing them right and now my back feel the best it has in months!  My back is however the lest bendy part of my body so when I say I was doing back bends really I was just looking up. :)

Well today I did not feel fast!  From the first mile I could tell that my legs were still not 100%.  The plan was to try and throw in some marathon pace miles in the mix but today was not the day for that.  I am just happy that we got in the 20.

One of the best parts of the run is that we ran in to Smooth and her gang...they are so fun! 

Splits: 9:42, 9:44, 9:42, 11:08, (uphill, windy potty stop!) 9:36, 9:43, 10:10, 9:45, 9:48, 10:37 (up a killer hill) 10:33, 9:42, 9:27, 9:56, 9:09 (attempted marathon pace and failed!) 9:11, 11:23 (water refill) 9:24, 10:06, 11:47 (called Mom to come get us!)

Kim may have a different version of this run... but nobody believes her anyway.

I just realised that I am a little over two miles away from my first 50 mile week ever...I may walk two miles on the treadmill tonight just to get it!

PM - I did it first 50 mile week ever!!!!
