Ran the Masefield out and back with Mary.  Productive and sad conversation about moving.  AP 8:50.  Feeling a bit tired with lack of sleep.  Good sleep is my new goal. Even on the weekends:) 

Short term plan: start 12 week training for Des News Marathon July 24th.

Ran 1 mile with Addy in AM. She's starting her training for the mile run at school next week:)

pace 10:10

 

Ran 8 with Mary in her neighborhood.  To echo out and back.  Franklin loop. AP 8:36.  Felt dizzy and lightheaded first half.  Drank a lot after 3.6 miles and felt much better.  We are not used to hot humid weather! What a contrast from the winter. Leaves are budding on trees.  The world here has transformed into a bright, green, warm, colorful place!  

Thanks Mark and Steven for watching 3 little boyzzz!

Ran Hickory Grove all the way to Target.  Crossed Woodward and Telegraph.  Almost got hit by a guy turninig right on Telegraph, got my adrenaline going.  I don't think I'll do that course at same time of day again.  

Love my new Garmin!  I accdentally ended the run at .73 mi (ap 9:10).  The last 3.47 was ap 7:55.  Beautiful humid day:)

Mary did the long run with me today since I'll be out of town on the weekend.  It started out pouring rain.  We were soaked, sloshing, and squeaking in our running shoes.  Took a little break after 7.9, then the last 4 pretty speedy--under 8s.  

AP 8:30

Debating between the Des News 1/2 and full.....

Arrived in Orlando at 10 am, checked in hotel and changed for a run.  Ran along the resort brick path--not the best terrain, but the scenery was lovely.  So happy to be on vacation!

Ran back and forth on the JW Marriott path with Craig.  Gorgeous day in paradise.  Read the entire Hansons half marathon method yesterday.  I really like the philosophy and will try to implement. Tried to make this run truly easy. AP 9:26

I call todays run the 'double-bob-dandilion-hop-overgrown-grassy-field-hill-repeat-playground-obstacle' workout.

Running with 2 wild boys makes things interesting.  Im actually shocked that I got 6 miles in!

I did a warm up pushing the bob around my old neighborhood.  I did 12 repeats of the Hickory Grove field/hill--having to do high knees over the dandilion field then tried to sprint up the hill.  The distance per repeat was about .08.  I didn't really track my time. Then I did a recovery loop around the playground, down the hill and back across the field.  

Cooled down playing tag with the boys on the playground :)

Did the tempo/pace run today.  Neighbor hood loop/Walther out and back. Set my virtual pacer to 7:15 and it kept me on track--I averaged 7:17 for the 5 miles.  Felt awesome today.  Running at that pace with some good music creates a perfect storm, aka runners high.  :)

Ran to Mary's and back.  Beautiful, beautiful day.  Great company with @marymary and @khumba.  Both our Garmins died halfway through the run. Guessing our pace was low-mid 9's.

Speed work ladders with marymary and khumba @ Lahser track 

1 mile warm up, then 400-600-800-600-400 X2 with 1/2 lap recovery in between

400 splits 1:30, 1:26, 1:25, 1:31

600 splits 2:19, 2:19, 2:15, 2:19

800 splits 3:03, 3:14

Felt nauseaus on the 2nd set.   I felt like I slowed down considerably, but my second set splits aren't as slow as I thought

New motto for speed work from @wecanallbehealthy: sweat, SMILE, and repeat.

It's going to be a great Tuesday!

Out and back neighborhood route.  Calves and achilles are tight and a little sore from yesterday. I finished the run just before the rain started coming down.  Listened to my old nano ipod with music that hasn't been changed since 07.  Trip down memory lane. Sure going to miss this green scenery.

AP 8:47
