Did a track workout today... I wasn't sure how fresh my legs would be from my 19 miler on Saturday-but they actually felt better than I would have thought.. Did 3x1 miles and 1x800 with 400 jog (3:00) in between. Splits were 5:49,5:50,5:49 and my 800 was 2:45.. Pretty happy with today's splits-. Went to the Dr after to get more blood work done to test my thyroid levels and found out I have fluid in my middle ears that hasn't drained from my cold that I have had for 4 weeks now...That explains why I feel like I can't hear very well and my ears won't pop.. He put me on Zyrtec D-to try and dry me up-and if that doesn't work he has a stronger perscription he wrote for me..Hopefully it does the job!!! I just want to be completely back to normal and healthy! (I have never in my life had a cold last as long as this one! lol!)

7.25 ez on the mill today...

Got up and did a long fartlek of 2x2.5 miles with .5 jog in between followed by 1x2 mile and 1x400. Splits on first 2.5 were 6:39 (uphill and major headwind) 6:07, and 2:59. (6:18 avg pace) 2nd one was 5:59, 6:14, 2:50. (6:01 avg pace-this set was mostly downhill) and 2 mile was 5:52, 6:24. (6:08 avg pace) Final 400 was 1:21...Felt great today for once!!! (It's been a while) Yeay! I think fartleks are my favorite type of run..  

5 super ez miles on the mill

Got up extremely early this morning to do my long run of 20 miles before hubby left for work...Avg pace for the whole run was 7:15...(2 short stops for water) Tried to keep it relaxed today...Felt really great until the last 1.5 miles which was uphill and my legs were definitely feeling the burn..Other than that I felt really strong...Yeay! (50 miles for the week as of Today-woohoo-this is one of my highest) I'm happy with my workouts this week and how good I have felt..

3 miles super easy...legs were really fatigued from the 20 miler yesterday
