Treadmill again.  Warm up. 8 x 2 minutes on/off and 5 x 1 minute on/off.  Definitely not in great shape.  I'm trying to get back, though. Cool down to 65 minutes.

Enough to get 42 this week.  I wanted 10 this morning, but overslept.  Still, it's a victory. I almost didn't go run at all.  Best week in a long time.  Fingers crossed for building momentum.

Cali has been a pain at night.  Not falling asleep until after nine and waking up at 2:30 and not going back to sleep. I probably would have skipped again, except Cole needed a running partner.  I felt surprisingly good considering I only had 4 hours of sleep.  4.3 at 7:31 average with Cole.  Another 4.1 by myself at 6:49 average.  It's going to be a really rough day for everyone.

Took to the roads after my voice lesson, since I was already near Murray Park.  Ran Murray Park to Wheeler Farm.  Let go of all my stress and centered myself for Producer Preview and Opening Night for Into the Woods.  Funny how running has turned more into a de-stresser rather than something I do competitively.

Exhausted from last week.  Trying to hop back on the running wagon.  Met Becca, Tee, and Aimee this morning for a run. 8 miles with my friends and then accompanied Cole on his workout.  We warmed up and he ran 4 x .25 meter hills with jogging recovery.  Then we ran a cooldown. I just ran the warm up and cool down for 2.5 more miles.

I planned on a longer and harder effort today, but I only slept a few hours last night.  Darn insomnia.  I just ran with the kids.  Better than nothing.  It might put me a couple of miles short of my mileage goal this week.

90 minute run.  I was supposed to meet Tee and Devra.  I went to Murray Park instead of Liberty Park where we were supposed to meet.  So, I drove home and ran solo.  It always seems to take so much longer alone! Harder effort long run.  6:48 average.

I was super lazy this morning and didn't want to run in the freezing cold.  I only ran with the Race Cats. I paced Group 2 on 7 x 400.  Mostly around 1:30.  Last one in 1:21.  All on grass

AM:  Shortened run from what I had planned.  20 minute warm up. Plan was 2 x 5-3-2 minute pushes with 2 minute recovery in between.  I got a text after the first set about subbing today.  So, I did one more five minute push home, so I could make plans for the day.  I will get some more speed work at Race Cats practice tonight. Maybe. 6.2 miles 

PM: I made up for my shortened run this morning. 1 mile warm up. 4 x 600/200 with 200 meter recovery between intervals.  Kids ran great!
