Up with a congested baby through most of the night, so headed to the gym this morning. 10 minute warm up then tempo. 7 x 3minutes at 6:20, 3 minutes at 6:10, and 3 minutes at 6:00. Up from 5 sets last time I ran this workout. Cooled down to 12.

AM: Planned on a midweek midlong, but felt terrible this morning. I'm getting the kids' chest cold. I couldn't face 12 miles this morning. So, double run today. 8 miles at 7:37 average.

PM: Snuck out for four more. I owe Cole five bucks.

So, I had to press the running re-set button. I overdid it. I was really sick and run down last week. Actually, the last month has been a continuous cycle of recurring illness and constant stress. I couldn't sleep, and dropped weight because of loss of appetite. I can't run well in this condition, so I pulled the plug on the Phoenix Marathon and took about ten days completely off.

I'm trying to find a healthier balance in my life.

It felt good to get back out there today.

Really dark run through the park this morning, followed by Zumba. Flailing my arm around in class made my elbow sore.

Huge snow dump last night.  So, tempo workout  on the treadmill because  I  am wimpy like that. 20 minute warm up. 3 mile, 2 mile, 1 mile intervals with half mile recovery. Short cool down to give me 50 for the week.

3 mile: 18:36 (6:12 average)

2 mile: 11:55 (5:57 average)

1 mile: 5:41

Warmish windy morning.  I  met Becca for a nice easy 10 miler.  I'm glad she showed up. While I  was waiting  for her to get to our meeting spot, I had just about convinced myself to run back home and go back to bed. 7:23 average.

Didn't  want to run by myself outside, so I ran on the treadmill. My ear buds were falling out of my ears and were annoying me. Teren bought me Bluetooth headphones  for Christmas, but they won't  stay put!

7th  West run with Becca. Warmer this morning. After running I took Zumba and the new Strong class.  I  thought it would  be harder.

I met Tee and Becca  for mile repeats. Since I  haven't  been  on the track forever, I just ran Tee's pace.  We took turns leading. 6:03, 5:57, 5:59, 5:54. felt completely  under control . Becca had two more because  she's  an animal.  Warm up 2.5. Cool down 2.5
