5/23

10.2 late late last night (nothing like running bike trails at 11 pm) and another easy 4 late tonight (finishing up at 10 pm and I really should have been in bed hours ago).

5/20

8 today and 40 for the week.

5/19

7.5 total; 5 on TM while baby napped, then 2.5 outside with the jogging stroller (little boys on bikes) after the baby woke up.

5/18

4.5 easyish instead of SRD

5/17

Monday: 6.3 aerobic
Tuesday: 6.5 easy
Wednesday: 7.2 with speed intervals

5/14

5.2 easy Thursday with the jogging stroller.

Girls on the Run 5k on Friday night with Juliet--it was SO hot and I was feeling awful, but I was super proud of her! She ran the whole time which is the first time she's ever done that for a 5k. She was really struggling at times, but we said a few prayers and sang some songs and I told her stories the whole time to distract her--she also wanted to hold my hand the whole time so we ran 3.1 miles holding hands. :-) Helped to distract me from the six times my mouth filled with stomach acid, ugh.

I was planning to do a LR Saturday, but I was just feeling absolutely awful and Neil told me that I absolutely needed to take a day off and that he would take my running shoes away if necessary! I am terrible about giving myself permission to skip a run so that was what I needed to hear. :-) Feeling better today but still just really drained.

Only 29.3 for the week...ugh.

5/10

Keep forgetting to log stuff here.

Monday: 7 aerobic, felt like crap
Tuesday: 7 easy, felt even worse
Wed: 7 speedwork (1 @ 6.5, 1:15 @ 6.6, 2:45 @5.5), felt great. Why is speedwork so much easier?! And I usually run faster outside just at a comfortable pace than I ever do with speedwork sessions on the TM; treadmill running is so much harder for me, especially now that I'm keeping it on a constant incline to help with the tibia pain.

5/6

7.5 on road & trails; wind was KILLER!!!! I was hoping to get a little farther but stopped at home to check in and I had a very angry baby waiting for me & by the time I finished feeding him, my ankle had stiffened up (twisted it a little in the woods), so I decided I should probably call it quits for today. Kept a pretty hard pace up anyway (7 seconds slower than yesterday's TM tempo, but with 30 mph winds and over muddy trails!) so I was pretty beat.

34 for the week/month

5/5

Finally did some speedwork since I had to wait the month per the orthopedic doc's instructions!!!! 6 miles; 1 mile warmup at aerobic and then 5 miles of intervals (10k pace for 2 minutes; HMP for 3 minutes to recover). Hard workout that felt awesome; body still hasn't adjusted to constant incline setting on the TM (I'm only at 1 which is embarrassing given that I used to routinely run it at 5), but again, incline still helping with tib pain.

5/3

Doubled today--3.5 easy this morning and 4 easy with 9 1-minute strides this afternoon. 7.5 total; man did I need those endorphins. In the last stages of deciding if we take a job offer this summer or if we have no income, yay, so fun! (Especially since it looks like we'll be saying no. I hate this.)

5/2

Quick 5; wish I'd had time for more.

5/1

8 miles around 9:48/mile; good start to the week, I guess? I've been running on more inclines and that seems to help with the tib pain, but man am I anxious to do some speedwork!
