3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) Personal: I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races. |

| Trail run. Super slow pace. My knee was tight and slightly achy before my run. I took this run super easy and my knee loosened up. It's nice to use a run to shake out the tightness! :) AP: 9:56 min/mi. |

| Trying to increase my weekly mileage. This is what's lacking from my training, so I'm going to work on building more base mileage. Then, I'll start adding speed. This run was in FL again, hot again, 82F at the finish. I ran 8 miles on a pretty flat bike path (AP: 8:52 min/mi). Then wanted to see what the elevation of the Ringling Bridge is for future hill training runs (AP: 9.08 min/mi). |

| 7 easy miles for my last day in FL this trip. :( It was hot and muggy. I wonder what it'll be like to run in the 50's again?! I'll find out tomorrow. :) AP: 9:58 min/mi. |

| My MCL has been achy now for a few days...just minor ache. I decided to try a speed run because I was wondering if running a slow gait to up my mileage was the culprit. Well, it was a good idea! My legs got the stretch they needed, and I'm pain free now. Haha. What an incentive to run faster!!! So, I did 1 mile at a 7:43 min/mi pace, then 5x0.5 mi repeats (7:11/7:07/7:21/6:37/7:31 min/mi) with 0.1 mi walking recovery. I wanted to get a sub-7 repeat in there, 6:37 min/mi is my fastest yet!!! Then I did 4x0.1 mi striders (6:01/5:48/5:26/5:13 min/mi). Nothing like negative splits to end a speed workout; oh, and the last pace was my fastest yet as well! Then 45 min of weight lifting!! :) |

| Easy run. 9:02 min/mi average pace enjoying the perfect, sunny Chicago weather! I wish my run were longer, but my legs will be happier tomorrow during my long run that it wasn't. :) |

12 miles shooting for an 8:30 AP with my running group (well, I run alone because the rest of the group is either a lot faster or a lot slower). The site director asked if I wanted to be the 8:30 pace leader for the summer. I was planning on jumping from the 9:30 to the 8:30 this summer, but I don't know if I can be a group leader! It could be a good thing. It'll probably force me to stick with the 8:30s!! Haven't made up my mind yet...AP for this run: 8:26. My fastest for 12 miles yet. :) P.S. This is one my longest mileage week since I started running 2.5 years ago!! Upping the ante...finally... |
