Hello

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill. Kids had a 2hr delay so I took advantage. Ran slow (9:13) for almost the whole mile and did 1 min strides each mile at an 8 pace with a total of 4. Felt good. It actually felt better to run the 8 pace then to run slower. Looks like my legs are coming back from my month off.

Well confirmed.....Broken Rib!!! Hurts like hell. Ran 3 miles this am before I knew it was broken. Started at a 9:40 pace for 1 mile, went to a 9:30, then a 9:22. The last 1/2 mile sped up to an 8:27 just to get done and the last 1/4 was a 7:30. It felt better to run faster. As soon as I stopped the pain set in again. We shall see how it goes. Leave it to me to break ribs!!!

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill (with broken ribs). Ran the first three at a 9:22 pace by the last mile felt good do ran 1 more at 9:10.

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill stated at 6.2 then increased for 3 min and decreased for 3 min and back and forth.....went from 6.2-7.0. Finished in 36:10. Looks like another treadmill day 18 inches of snow and counting. Supposed to get up to 3 feet!!!

Ran 7 miles on the treadmill. First two at 9:40, second two at 9:30, one at 9:13 then did halfs for 9:40, 9:30, 9:22, and last half at MP 8:34. Felt ok but was tired from last nights run. Blizzard today. Snow is over my kids heads. Cant wait to run on the trail again!
