| Eh. This morning didn't go so well. I ran at the Oval for some turnover. My goal was 20 x 1 minute on/off. I swear the Oval is an injury just waiting to happen. I warmed up 15 minutes and then started my workout. After about ten my hip and hamstring got progressively tighter. It felt like it might tear if I pushed too hard. I changed back into my trainers from my flats and finished 15. I could feel myself favoring on the fast parts. I couldn't get any push off. Hence, my fast workout was not as fast as I would like it. After 15 I cooled down for 15 more minutes. Hopefully some good stretching will help. I think I was still feeling some fatigue from last week. My plan has been to stay off of speedwork until March and just rely on tempo and fartlek efforts. There's no point in pushing things. I'll have to be careful running at the Oval, and possibly just stay away altogether.
It's supposed to be a nasty week weatherwise. Lovely.

| Icy roads this morning. I ran on the treadmill. I started at 8.0 mph and increased .1 at the end of every song on my ipod. I ran for 70 minutes, which was 18 and a half songs. I was shooting for twenty, but I was getting pretty tired at about nine miles. I came home and spent some time stretching my hips out. They are definitely tight. They feel a little better now.

| No good excuse for missing today. I slept in and then felt crappy and unmotivated all day. I need to turn my negative attitude around.

| Still not feeling too great. I've been pretty off all week. I think my body's hormones are readjusting as I try to wean Myles. It's so fun being a girl. Well, at least I got out and got it done this morning. I ran 4800 S to Murray Park, around the park and back. I like this route, but got a little nervous when I ran past the guy having a very loud argument with himself. I crossed to the other side of the street. Plus, I had my trusty pepper spray.
On a lighter note, I had to laugh at the car parked at the 7-11 that was blasting "I've Had the Time of My Life." Nobody puts Baby in the corner! (If you don't get the reference you are WAY too young!)

| I warmed up three miles and then ran a 30 minute tempo run. 5.1 miles in thirty minutes. 5:55 average pace. Cooled down 15 minutes. That is all.

| It was a surprisingly nice morning for a long run. I expected a downpour, so I was very happy with 43 degrees and drizzly. That's almost spring-ish weather. I had planned on 16 with Jenny, but knew she would want 16.6 to give her 60 for the week. 60 sounds so much better than 59.4. Well, 16 turned into 18 when our last little loop ended up being longer than planned. I whined a lot the last couple miles. But, I'm glad that I did it. Marathon training made my body more amenable to long runs. They are much easier physically and mentally than they used to be. Our run was a nice rambling tour of Murray/Holladay. 7:19 average, which is pretty good considering our first three miles averaged out to about 7:50. It' s so hard to get the body moving.
