Why I Oughta!!!

John invited me for a tempo run. I have been on a 3 day rest due to soreness and my back. Felt good to get out this morning and turn it up. I started with John the first half mile at a 5:45. I figured that was not my pace... yet! I wanted to push this run so I pushed at my 90% effort. I was only planning to push for 3 miles but I felt so good I added one more mile. The last 2 miles I pushed easy. Over-all a fantastic run! (6:31 ave pace) Splits: 6:25, 6:25, 6:18, 6:22, 6:46, 6:52. I have never ran a sub 20min 5k... today was a sub 20!! Also, this was my best 6 miler and if this had been a 10k time, also a pr.

Yoga class this evening

Ran with the crew today. We were planning on running easy with pick-me-ups since everyone is a little sore. But they got that competitive streak going and ran off. I eventually picked them all up again along the way. I did 3 reps at about 7:00 pace fo a quarter mile.  splits:8:25, 7:29, 7:25, 7:21, 7:39

Easy run with Cathy and her running group. I did a 1.5 mile fast pace to get to a bathroom. I still waited for them after I finished my business. I probably should have not run anyways... bad head cold! Felt dizzy a few times while running.

I went to yoga today too. Couldn't breath through my nose.

The boys and I ran the IM course today. I guess we needed a hill run! I'm still suffering from this head cold. I hope it goes away very soon. Splits: 8:40, 8:13, 8:28, 7:58, 8:08, 7:48, 7:34, 7:18
