| Way, way too much fun last night. Dancing fun. I LOVE to dance, and am unable to stop until the band stops playing. So, on top of a few running miles yesterday, there were a lot of dancin' miles added on there, and I was grateful that the schedule called for a recovery 90 minute bike ride. My feet were hurting ): I was not very grateful that it was pouring rain (again!). It is JUNE, for heavens sake! Anyway, I used the trainer in the basement for the "recovery", but I don't feel at all recovered. Lack of sleep maybe? |

| Tempo run. Light rain, 62 degrees, extremely humid. Humidity like this just saps my strength, and I was not feeling particularly motivated this morning. I started out slow in my warm up, just cruising away from town on the interurban trail. Tempo intervals were 5 minutes, and I did four, with a target of 7:38/mile. Actual paces on the intervals were: 7:37, 7:42, 7:22, and 7:56. Felt really tired on the last one, and actually cut it 30 seconds short because sometimes I can't read my watch so well. I did 1:15 in between each interval at a jog. Cd and then straight to yoga. |

| Muddy run in the mountains on very steep technical trails. Sunshine today! Here are my splits: 13:06, 14:21, 12:52, 11:47, 11:26, 10:01, 11:04, 13:09 (.42). You can see that it was very steep and technical by the slowness. Really beautiful and muddy; I had a fall and got a bit bloody. We have a scoring system for falls up here, and I received the highest score, a 5. Just as we were descending the final switchbacks back to the road, a large group of robins started making a whole lot of noise, and we saw that they were attacking (or trying to attack) an owl. The owl just sat in a tree near the trail and stared at us, with robins flying all around him and swarming him. I think the owl was more concerned about us and the dog. |

| Thirty minutes at easy in the lightly raining morning, followed by yoga. Then a meeting and a 90 minute bike ride. Ate lunch on the bike. I have a lot of work to do today, and I've used up practically the whole day working out. Got to take my daughter to the Community College for a test, then the day will be over! So stressful! |

Eight full hours of sleep last night! I feel absolutely like Tigger this morning! A day off from running, yoga is allowed. But I think I will learn to swim instead - in my driveway if this rain doesn't let up. Yesterday was my last meeting with my third grade running group before their big 5K on Saturday! Yippee! This will be so much fun. We played some fun sprinting games yesterday, and discussed the run on Saturday. We talked about what to wear! When I have a day off, I begin to question whether I have run enough miles. I KNOW this is completely stupid, and I WILL STOP!
