I went running on the river trail this morning.  I had stayed out late with some gal pals the night before and didn't get to sleep until almost 2 am.  I had a hard time getting up and got up a little later than I wanted.  It was kinda too warm and windy but I pushed through. My first mile about killed me and it was about a 9:30 minute mile, but I ended up running fast enough the next 3.5 to bring my average speed up to 8:20 minute miles. I am crossing my fingers that I feel back to normal this week and run a lot more than I have these last two weeks.

Ran 7 on the TM this morning. I gotta get up earlier so I can go farther the rest of this week. Here's to hoping my husband quits shutting my alarm off.

It was a fun run this morning.  I averaged 8:10 a mile.  Lily found me about 1.5 miles before our runs were over. Nice way to end the run.

I had such a good time this morning.  I ran the river trail then detoured through a nice neighborhood by mine to pick out which house I want to move into.  Sadly, no one was standing outside ready to give me their house so I ran back across the bridge and I saw a familiar person about a half mile ahead of me. Lily!  I ran hard trying to catch her for about a mile, but then realized that even if I caught her at that point I was so out of breath that I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation anyways, so I dropped back down and let 'er go. I was able to maintain a 7:47 minutes per mile pace for the whole 7.5 miles. I am so excited about it.  I never thought this short stocky body would be able to do that!! My next goal is to try to do 13 miles at that pace.  Maybe on Saturday, I will give it a try.

I went to the gym at 5:00, did the arktrainer/stairstepper thingamajig for 45 minutes while I visited with Kira, then I went to get on the treadmill and couldn't stand the thought of it, so I drove home and ran 4.50 miles around the nieghborhood/park area. I averaged 7.7 miles an hour again which is a 7:47 average. I am happy with it.

Ran 9.25 miles around the park neighborhood area.  The last two miles felt like I was wading through quicksand.  I felt so hungry that my stomach hurt.  I either need to eat more dinner at night or pack a snack I guess.  I was a lot slower than the last two days but I still maintained a pace that will get me the time I want for the marathon.  Average pace:  8:10/mile
