1:29:13 Thanks to the great company (Amy, Mark, Brad, and Steve) the slushy/muddy conditions were barely noticeable. The Hammy was just okay. OUr course was very rolling. so that aggravated it a bit. Overall a decent run, although it felt like a lot more than 13 miles. We started out attempting the trail, and our first mile was like 9min. That skewed our overall time. we had several miles at 6;40ish pace, and 3 sub 6:30's... We had to have averaged 6:30 something for miles 2-12! Check amy's log for the actual stats.

BTW... I'm despite the rumors on Drudge Report (teehee) I'm not dead, slacking, or on the campaign trail!  I'm lazy, and was "let go off" on Monday....So now I am a stay at home mom...

Overall time= 57:17 warm up and cool down (30 min total) included in over all time.

5 min on 2 off
5x 2min on 1min off
5 min on

27:00 min for fartlek 4.8 miles covered =5:37 pace

felt pretty good. I felt like I didn't push hard enough, like I was just coasting. I do so much better when I do these with someone else. It pisses me off when I just settle in like that! I was pretty surprised, when I did the map of this run, to discover the distances. I think I underestimate myself a lot of the time. Maybe that's why I coast? However, I must say it is nice to be running this fast no matter what! And this was a short fartlek!

1:03:33 Felt nice. Piriformis is much better.

Fartlek today.  7.8 miles in 45 min.  (5:46 permile) on the treadmil this time.  extremely boring, but incredibly accurate.  When there's 9 inches of snow on the ground and no seems to shovel, and every road is well traveled, well what else can you do?  this is my new 10k pr. haha.  all the Chocolate Chip cookies I pigged out on decided to stay put in my intestines which was nice of them.  What great little helpers!

Lake Forest Lake Bluff running club dinner tonight..

ran with Mr. Rob Wiley and Ms. Amy Haney.  we finished in 1:11:30 6:48 pace.  very snowy and yucky
