12 miles. Two mile warm up and then a tempo workout. I'm working to be able to complete 3x 3k, 2k, 1k, at marathon, half marathon, 10k pace with one minute recovery. I have only completed two sets. Today, I made two sets, and then had a short bathroom break. I got a little more recovery, so I finished with a 2k, and 1k. So, it went 3k, 2k, 1k, 3k, 2k, 1k, 2k, 1k, at 6:15, 6:00, 5:45, 6:15, 6:00, 5:45, 6:00, 5:45 paces. I didn't have time for a cooldown. 15k worth of work, up from 12k.

AM: I got up before five so I could get a longer workout in, but spent 45 minutes cleaning up an overflowing toilet. It's still not unclogged. So, change of plans. I decided to get out for a short run, and try to fit in a double today. I will save my workout for tomorrow. So, six miles this morning. 7:23 average. I feel ready for a harder effort. Now to find a sitter for this afternoon.

I warmed up twenty minutes and ran 4 x 1,2,3,2,1 minute repeats, with 1,1,2,1,1 minute recovery. This is the first time I have run four sets. The last set got tough. I tried out my new DS racers. LOVE! They match Jenny's Punky Brewsters. Twins!

6:47 average for workout. I will hit 70 this week, and then I need to get serious about building the mileage if I'm going to run Grandma's. Only 13 weeks.

Planned 18-20. I didn't want Devra to feel alone after falling this week, so I fell hardat 5.5 miles to keep her company. It hurt so bad! I ripped the tops offmy fingers, and my knee kills. I limped over to the Maverik to use their phone, but my husband didn't answer. I ran the three miles home on adrenaline. My knee is killing, now. Hope it's not serious. 7:06 average. Uggh. My training!!!!!
