Can't call this a full runch since I ran and walked this one for 4 miles while reading my book. Really tried not to sweat but alas, I am a sweaty betty. Ran until I felt the perspiration and... read more

great Neighborhood loop 4.5 mi 00:40 08:53 pace
Well it was cool and blustery this morning in Chicago after the storms came through yesterday and last night. A nice 53 made for good running - except for the wind. We were a little fast today as... read more

Great blustery run in the morning Kelly, walking in heels for 2.5 miles doesn't sound good for the legs and feet :)

I was always a heels girl. Real heels of at least 4inches but since my surgeries and needed to wear flats even a couple of hour without walking hurts. I'm impressed you were able to pull off a solid session. Well done.

good Long run 12.5 mi 01:51 08:53 pace
I was all over the board mentally with this run. Whenever I run by myself I tend to push myself even when I don't intend or want to. The first 2 miles I felt like I was working hard and was ... read more

When I run by myself if I am not completely spaced out and locked into a pace I do the same thing as you - chase down runners or keep up with them and my pace zig-zags. It's kind of a fun game to pass the time though! :) Your long run pace is quite incredible, even if you were slightly pushing it a bit. Hey, and lakefront alone is much better than a treadmill any day!!

good Just a run 5.51 mi 00:47 08:35 pace
Gorgeous day today in Chicago. A little toasty when I started running but I tried to find a shady route. Nice to just run and not have to do a workout or planned pace. Admittedly, I went faster ... read more

Always an adjustment, whether it's the warm or the cold eh? Love it. :) Looks like a really nice run though, great job!

Nice Job:
Fantastic effort Kelly, I once read an article that said that there's nothing in the running rule book that says you cannot stop for a break if you need to and try not to make your runs feel like its a chore that must be done, enjoy them.

blah 5k pace intervals 5.5 mi 00:50 09:09 pace
Plan called for 6X800 at 5k pace - 6 seconds. There was a little debate if it intended -6 sec per 800 or just steady -6 over all intervals. Based on the fact that I feel like my head is going to ... read more

Awesome job. Sorry about the allergies, I know what that's like. I'm glad they haven't hit me yet. Soon I'm sure. Great work on the intervals. I'm really looking forward to running those again. You kicked butt! 87? Guess it's cooler by the lake, I'm seeing only 82, only. lol.

Well, it's not that impressive since I was on the treadmill so hitting the pace required only hitting the arrow up button until I reached it. Maintaining the pace for the entire 800, well, that's a different story...

Sang needs to go back to 3rd grade. He he he. :) 6 x 4 is twenty-four! I always remembered that one because it rhymed. Great job Kelly, it sounds like your plan now has given you a bit of focus and touches upon all of the good stuff that will really make you a stronger runner. Plus it changes things up a bit. I approve!! :D

Ahh, just think about how you get to rest tomorrow now that this is done :)
