    Racing the storm 5.4 mi 00:44 08:11 pace

    I thought it was going to rain the whole time I was running, but it never did. Started out right at target pace, but after the 3rd mile came in a bit faster than I wanted, felt the pressure to keep... read more

      I was just reading an article today about how this is a big mistake that runners make....always pushing hard and not allowing for recovery.

    Squeezing it in 4 mi 00:32 07:55 pace

    With the dicey weather this morning we decided to sleep in and forego the early morning miles. So, I had to squeeze then in midday. Despite the heat I felt ok. Progressive, I think.

    My husband is came home with the stomach flu last night. I don't have it (or at least not so far), but I'm pretty sure I'm fighting it. Rough morning.

    good First Speed of the Season 7.5 mi

    blah Hills for breakfast 5.5 mi 00:46 08:25 pace

    Rough one with Jeanne S. We were both exhausted and this just felt like torture. Pretty hilly route, but I'm shocked the pace was this fast. Had to push. A lot.

    I didn't have a lot of time, so had to move on this one.
