    I arranged with a friend to meet up after work to run together for a little bit. She just started running again after more than 1 1/2 years off. I ran 1.8 miles to meet her (15:22, mile 1 was 8:23)... read more

    Stayed indoors to run in case my husband needing anything while he was making dinner and tending to the kids. Watched an episode of Revenge and now I just have the finale to catch up on!

      Thanks everyone! Christina - if you have an iPad or iPhone, or something with the ABC app, you can watch all shows. Or maybe on their website. There's no way I can stay up to watch it either! If you like Hayden, you'll like the show! : )

    Stony 3.5 mi 00:33 09:17 pace

    After the group run, I went back out for another 3.5 to give me 8 for the day. Finished this week with 20 miles, which I was happy with one week post-race! : ) Splits: 9:25, 9:32, 9:02, 4:33 last .5.

      Great job! 120 is a huge accomplishment - congrats! I can be a little OCD with my mileage too, but usually it's week to week. How does that massage stick work? I've heard about them but never used one!

      You guys are awesome! Thanks so much!! : )
      @Jill - I'm running the Detroit marathon in October! @Shannon - I LOVE the massage stick. I personally feel like it gets the kinks out of my legs better than the foam roller since you can roll it at all angles without being awkward and having to hold yourself up!

      Great last run, Jessica!! No matter what the outcome of the race this weekend, you will have completed another half and in the big picture - that's all that matters! But you have trained so well these past few months... I think I smell a PR =] Good luck Saturday and have fun!!!

      Great 5k! You did awesome with your splits, especially with the wind. I am glad you got outside for a little you time since it has been a rough day. I hope the wine hits the spot :-)
