  1. RUN
    tired 3.57 mi 00:39 10:59 pace

    Got home, and my dog was EXPLODING when he saw my running clothing; it's been a week of limited walks for him, with me away, so I decided to take him on a run/walk, jogging until my heart rate... read more

    alright 3.06 mi 00:59 19:11 pace

    Walked with Judi at running club. After another week in the hospital, and with a latest HgB reading of 8.4, I was really torn on whether to walk, run, or a combination, but I decided to opt for a c... read more

      Not really. I was bleeding again, apparently, but stabilized before they could visualize it. So I'm home, though low again. :(

  3. RUN
    tired 4 mi 00:37 09:15 pace

    Done at the gym, combination of treadmill and track. Coach just wanted miles, slow, as recovery. My heart was nuts and I couldn't catch my breath at all.

    I sort of knew then that I'd be ... read more

  4. RUN
    tired 9.04 mi 01:23 09:13 pace

    Very tired, presumably from yesterday's speedwork. Had trouble getting started; the first mile was slowest by far. Settled in a bit after that, but never felt great - always a little sluggish.... read more

  5. RUN
    good 5 mi 00:41 08:09 pace

    Speed workout. Did the first 5 minutes as warm-up, then two more miles around 8:30, increasing at the end, for about 2.5 miles total. Then coach and I did two miles with intervals - 2 laps easy, 2 ... read more

  6. FIT
    good Abs and Toning 01:00

    I commented to the coach (who also teaches these classes) that there's something slightly off about doing our running workouts - especially the speed ones - after knocking out an hour of hard ... read more

    alright Boot Camp 01:00

    Lots of leg work, it felt like; doing long stretches of lunges after running stairs is hard!

  8. RUN
    alright 2.25 mi 00:21 09:08 pace

    Meant to be easy two; coach said nothing under 9-minute-mile pace. Air was cooler and easier to breathe, though my legs felt a bit dead.

  9. RUN
    tired 3.21 mi 00:27 08:17 pace

    Was feeling very heavy-legged and crampy from the get-go, but was determined to do the best I could. Splits: 8:29, 8:21, 8:10, 7:45 (for the last bit). Lungs and throat felt parched and painful. Gl... read more

  10. FIT
    tired Abs and Toning 01:00

    Felt tired but optimistic when I arrived, but my optimism quickly evaporated when I attempted to work out at my usual level of intensity and found out just how tired I was. Ugh! By the time we did ... read more

    great Boot Camp 01:00

    Boot Camp ended with a variety of Dodge Ball today. :-) I...suck at Dodge Ball.

  12. RUN
    good 4.2 mi 00:38 08:59 pace

    Belly full of pork ribs. :-) No help for it; they had to roast all day, which meant I didn't get to leave the house to run until after they were done. And consumed. *Urp.* Surprisingly, they d... read more

    good Abs and Toning 01:00

    Good class! My arms got so completely wiped when we stacked the upper body exercises - awesome.

  14. RUN
    good 5.12 mi 00:43 08:22 pace

    Okay, this run was technically bisected, with an Abs class in the middle; I didn't have time to get the whole thing in before class, so I finished up afterward. Felt pretty good throughout.

  15. RUN
    alright 4.92 mi 00:43 08:43 pace

    We shortened yesterday's run a bit in exchange for tacking on a shorter run on today (usually a rest day). The first half was so much harder than the second; took a long time for lunch to sett... read more

  16. RUN
    alright 7.12 mi 01:04 08:58 pace

    That toothache turned out to be a sinus infection AND a need for a root canal. This year sucks and is fired. I had the root canal and got antibiotics, but it still hurts when I bounce.

  17. RUN
    alright 3.02 mi 00:25 08:23 pace

    Progressive run on the treadmill. My tooth has been bothering me for a while, but I think it's just a sinus infection (lingering cough, etc.), so I just ran through it. Interestingly, running ... read more

    alright Abs and Toning 01:00

    Feeling a little better today; Thursday's hematologist appointment showed I was extremely low on iron, so I got an infusion, which made me feel more alive. Hemo was up, thankfully!

    blah Boot Camp 01:00

    Hit it as hard as I could; thankfully, there was less jumping and running than we often get.

  20. RUN
    tired 2.63 mi 00:23 08:40 pace

    Okay, so this was *meant* to be a three mile tempo run, first mile slower and latter two at a faster pace. Unfortunately, the cough wouldn't quit, and I kept wheezing hard. Coach called it ear... read more
