This was my first run in a while. I've been fighting allergies and multiple sinus infections, so I haven't put on my running shoes in awhile. We just did a short distance outside and I did a little... read more

great walk around the neighborhood 1.5 mi
Too lazy to run. Too nice outside not to do anything, so we went for a stroll right before naptime.

great 3M Half Marathon 13.1 mi 02:29 11:22 pace
Awesome. Considering I have been sick and have only run once this past month, have a 7 month old and only got 2 1/2 hours of sleep last night, I think I did pretty darn well. While my race time is ... read more

tired 10 mile run with Ann 10 mi 02:03 12:19 pace
I figured if I could do a 10-miler before 3m, that I would be able to do the half next weekend. I still have this cold and it seemed to flare up today (so I'm thinking it may be cedar allergies now... read more

Good for you, Melissa! This cedar just isn't right this season. I'm taking 2 allergy and 2 asthma meds right now and they work for the most part. That's pretty amazing to run 10 miles when you aren't feeling well and haven't run that distance in a long time. You'll do just fine at the 3M half!

I hope the cedar scales back in the next week. It's absolutely killing people this year! Nice job getting out there for ten, Melissa! Hope we see you next weekend!

Thanks for the support! I was very proud of that run. Still not sure if it's cedar, since my husband is still coughing from it occasionally and he has no allergies. Either way, not fun and can only take a limited amount of meds for it (feeding baby), but I plan on slogging it out for the 3M, since my muscles/legs/etc feel great afterwards.

tired Around the neighborhood 2 mi
After my first cold and sinus infection, I caught another cold while on vacation. It's ending now, so we went out for a short, short run.

I'm at least a week into this cold now and think it's turned into a sinus infection. Boo! Alex caught the cold but seems to be better after a few days. The baby is coughing and has watery eyes but ... read more

Since Alexis is now sitting up on her own, I decided to take her (and my husband) out for a run with our jogging stroller. She seemed to like it until about 2.5 miles and then started crying. Let m... read more

Great stroller run, I foresee you getting a lot of miles on that particular piece of equipment. Maybe you should add it as DailyMile equipment & then you can track how far Alexis has rolled! Nice run Melissa!

That's pretty neat. I didn't know that you could do that for tracking gear. I have no doubt I will get plenty of use.

great 3x1600 5 mi 00:53 10:31 pace
This 3x1600 workout was sooo much easier than last week's 4x800, but I am pretty sure that it's because I wore normal running shoes this time instead of my Vibrams. I still like the toe shoes a lot... read more

Do you do your intervals on a track?

I've done them on the track at Austin High School in the past, but I've been doing them lately at home on my treadmill lately. My run schedule is extremely sporadic lately due to our new baby, so I usually wind up being able to run when it's dark outside so its easier to do at home right now, just not as fun.
