Don't Sacrifice the Gift.

AM: Bloomington North Park, 7.5-  I was excited to be able to run with the team again.  Not having work today helped with that.  I felt really good today.  Legs were a little tired at the beginning of the run, but loosened up the farther into it we got.  towards the end, my body was starting to feel tired and I was glad we finished when we did.

PM: Hospital/Treadmill, 7-  Ran down to the hospital and back this afternoon.  It was very hot.  Legs felt fairly good, a little tired feeling but nothing bad.  on the way back, my lunch decided that it didn't want to agree with me and i got a pretty bad side ache.  After walking for a couple minutes, it went away and i continued running home.  Afterwards, I did a few miles on the Tready to get the milage in while staying out of the heat.  

AM: River Trail, 7-  Got up early before work and ran down river road, connected to the trail and came back up 2450 E. on to home.  I was wanting to add another mile or two, but realized that I didn't have enough time if I wanted to still get to work on time.  Legs felt really good this morning!  Im not a huge fan of running alone, but this morning wasn't too bad.  I felt great and the temperature was nice.  Overall, a great run.

PM: Treadmill, 5-  Rather than face the heat, Although it hasn't been as bad the last couple days...  I decided to hit the Tready again.  just an easy 5.  Not to fast, not to slow.  It felt good to just take an easy day.  I used to hate running on treadmills, and while I still am not a fan, I like them more than I used to.  

PM: Downtown, 5.75-  Ran with Andrew toward the temple.  We didn't quite make it all the way before we needed to turn around.  We had a pretty good pace going and my legs felt great until about a mile left to go.  After that, I got this really bad side ache and a not too pleasant heart burn.  But other than that, it was a great run. Nice to be able to run with someone again and talk with Andrew.  

PM: Treadmill, 5- Today felt really good.  At first the legs were tired, but only becasue of the mondayness of the day.  With how much I used to hate running on treadmills, I am surprised with how much I enjoy them.  Still would much rather not run on the tready though.  I guess the fact that I can watch a movie at the same time helps...

PM: Treadmill, 5.5- I felt really good today.  Legs felt fresh.  I was only planning on five miles, but I felt so good that I would have gone a few more miles had I not have had to leave.  I was sad to have missed practice today.  

AM: Wash Elm, 1.5-  Not much today.  I woke up late and was only able to put in a few minutes before practice and then I had to leave to work before we had started the workout.  I was hoping to be able to get an afternoon run in but unfortunately I had a lot of things that had to get done today and they all took longer than I had anticipated.
