9/18

Last week--9 Tuesday, rest Wed, 9.1 on Thursday (supposed to be longer but the fog was so bad I had to wait to run until there was some visibility, so ran out of time). Thursday afternoon I fell off a ladder and had such bad swelling afterwards that I couldn't run until it went down, which means I missed an easy 4 and my last 20.

Ran 6 today--foot still pretty sore and the bruising was painful to run on my other leg, but the swelling that prevented running last weekend was mostly down.

9/11

8 Monday, 7 speedwork Tuesday, 6.4 easy Wed, rest Thurs (looked at houses all day), 14 late Friday, nothing Saturday--looked at houses again and then worked nonstop getting ours ready to list for sale until 1 am. 35.61 for cutback week--my lowest in SO long and my first skipped run in recent memory! Life happens.

Today: put an offer in on a house & did 7 easy.

9/2

18 miles with 14 at MP. This is the hardest run of my training cycle, so I thought I would make it extra fun and run the hilliest route I could possibly route around my town. Yay! 2 warmup miles at 10:09, 14 miles at 9:05, and 2 cooldown miles at 9:39. I was shooting for 9:09 for those MP miles so I'm pretty darn happy. :-) Amazing weather--it's just making me worry about a hot day in Chicago totally throwing me off!

SRD yesterday; mowed the lawn and walked a couple of miles with my kids. 51 for the week.
