3/22

Tuesday--felt like crap so walked for 50 minutes instead of running.
Wednesday--still felt terrible. 4 easyish + strength
Thursday--still feeling crummy (noticing a trend here?) 5 fast just to get it over with...Neil's been out of town all week and I am soooo ready for him to get home. I don't sleep well when he's gone and the 3 hrs/night is definitely catching up with me. :-(

3/19

last few runs:

Thursday: ran half course at 9:20/mile (13.1)
Friday: rest/strength
Sat: 5 at 9:30/mile with the kids biking alongside

Monday: strength +hard 6 on the TM. Average pace was just under 9:30 but I was feeling pretty crummy due to lack of sleep & no airflow--I've got to get a fan down here! had to stop twice because I was getting so dizzy.

3/13

6 outside in the snow today--my plan was to keep it somewhere between 9:30 and 10 to give my legs a bit of a break after yesterday.

First mile I went too fast (9:03) so I tried to slow it down the next mile and got 9:02. Then I really tried to slow it and got 8:38 and 8:33. By this point I was pretty tired and running uphill into the wind on the way home and ended with my last two miles at 8:46 and 8:53. By that last mile it was snowing SO hard and blowing so hard that I legit could not see more than ten feet ahead of me--a third of the mile from my house I had to stop and turn around so my back was to the wind and I could breathe.

6 total at 8:49

3/12

Dang, I keep forgetting to update!

Last week: 5 easy on Monday after an absolutely terrible 8 on the previous Saturday where my foot started spasming and I had to walk for awhile. Walked 5 Tuesday to really try to baby that foot, then 5 progression on Wednesday and a great 4 outside on Thursday with splits of 9:29, 9:18, 8:36, and 8:15. Rest Friday and then 10 Saturday at 9:28.

5 today at 9:37 on the TM--why does this feel so much harder than the 8:15 outside?!

3/2

5 miles this morning with Nathan biking & Matthew in the jogging stroller; 9:54/mile (mostly 10:06/mile at Nathan pace and then 9:19 last mile when he went in with Neil and I finished up).

Strength training afterwards--I love the apps I'm using! I did 25 pushups today which is HUGE for me!
