5/4

3 easy on the TM. Now to rest before the race!

19 weeks; 5/3

4 miles on TM today. First mile easy, then picked up the base pace by .3 and threw in some intervals every 3 minutes to shake things up. Intervals about 30 seconds/mile slower than last race pace (since I have NO idea what to anticipate for race pace Sat). First run where I used my support band; I've had a lot of ligament pain in my stomach about 5 hrs after my last 3 runs so it's time to start using that thing again. Ultrasound tomorrow so I'm excited to find out whether we tie it at 3 girls & 3 boys or have 4 boys in a row!

5/2

5 easy on the TM and 20 minutes yoga. Had planned to do this outside with the jogging stroller, but it was 48 and drizzly, so not ideal conditions for my little guy. TM was probably a better choice for my leg anyway pre-race. SRD yesterday but I spent 7 hours at church for this big program we had yesterday, so it was pretty darn exhausting and not much of a rest day!

4/30

4 easy ones on the TM; started outside hoping the rain wouldn't be too bad, realized it was cold enough that it was like icy droplets, and went right back inside--the last thing I need right now is a cold! DH started last night with the stomach bug our kids had last week, so it's been a long day. Just glad I got my run in so I could quit worrying about it.

29.1 for the week; 131.74 for the month; 393.74 YTD.

4/29

8 hilly miles with the jogging stroller and Nathan this morning. 50 degrees and windy; hard to believe the forecast for the Mini! I kept my LS shirt on the whole time--every time I started to feel warm enough to take it off, the wind picked up. 10:29/mile; the jogging stroller is obviously a good tool to keep my pace down where it ought to be. ;-)

4/28

Woke up this morning feeling like I'd been hit by a truck. All the exhaustion of sick kids/end of semester craziness/tons of church responsibilities this week seem to have hit at once. So glad it's a SRD--yoga and that's it for me today.

4/27

Jules threw up most of the night, so planned outside run with Nate in the stroller turned into 5 inside on the TM. Ran intervals; avg pace 10:09. Comfortably hard.
