Great hilly route with two covered bridges. Surprising how 35 degrees feels good at this point. Solid avg pace and pushed through the hills.
Thanks for the tour of some Lancaster countryside, Todd.

Hope everyone had a great Friday so far.

A bit chilly this morning even at 7:30am (17 degrees) but the run felt great. A nice new loop combining some old regular routes. Minimal traffic with changing landscape and scenery in beautiful Lancaster County.
Completed my Squat and AB challenges (Day 2) as well. Trying to build some other muscles, shed some weight and build muscle for my first Marathon in May.

Have a great everyone.

Great early morning workout with the group. A quick 3 plus miles to get the day started. Negative splits, hills, cold and skunk smell.
Marathon and Keys100 training is going well so far but it will be getting tougher real quick.
It's great having friends who help keep you motivated and support you.

Have great day everyone.

Great morning run. A few icy spots and a couple flurries. Legs felt great and bounced back well after Saturday's 14. Pushed the last mile today and eased the first three. Great to have Larisa back running regular. Next up - getting Megan back in action. Injuries suck!!

I am exhausted. First half was good, after the half I started feeling my hip more, so the last 5 was really painful. I pushed as much as my legs would go...then sometime during the last 2 I put my big girl pants on and pushed. Oh my, oh my. Done and done! #runchat  #FindYourStrong @Oaklandmarathon #trainingneverends

Struggled the whole way, took breaks at the lights and when pup needed breaks. Probably should have pushed harder, but apparently the humidity had me struggling. Oh wheeee!! Ready for my long run tomorrow! #runchat #runwithpurpose  #FindYourStrong #happyrunnergirl

Knocked off about a minute from my previous best on this course. It's not a difficult course but it has my number. Today I was sore and tight from all the miles this weekend.
Race #8 of 2014 is in the books and my monthly goal 100 miles is on pace. Marathon training starts in 2 weeks.

I aimed for a 9:30 w/ a negative split. My abs are hurting from Gracie's 200 a Day Ab Challenge 2014, but it's so worth it!! Today was my 3rd day of the challenge, and I'm on the 2nd week of training...and this did feel easy! The hard part was reeling in Jersey when he was distracted. It also helped that I'm breaking in new shoes, and I didn't need much to break them in. So happy! #runchat #happylegs  #FindYourStrong #trainingneverends

Race # 3 of 2014 was a success in 13 degree temps. I have only ever run 3 other races at this distance and this was a PR by about 2.5 minutes. Great to so many others out today for the 1 miler and 8K race in such conditions.

Tomorrow's race looks iffy with the weather forecast and warnings for freezing rain.

2014 is starting to be a great running year so far.

I really struggled on this run. I could tell that I had not eaten the best this week. I got it done. I covered the miles and I ran the prescribed distance/pace... but oh it was NOT easy. #LessonLearned  #FindYourStrong

1 Mile Warm Up (10:30), 3 x 1600 (8:27 pace/RI was SLOW (3ish speed) to get my heart rate down), 1.25 Mile Cool Down (10/10:30)...Nailing the miles was HUGE for me today, after a diet of cookies/booze/ham it just shows me I can be even faster if I clean up my eating...  #FindYourStrong
