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. |

| OFF or 30 - 35 mins easy
Charles River with my husband; 2.8 mi in 35:03. I unexpectedly lost one of my best friends last night. Haven't eaten or slept. My husband never runs, but knew I needed him today.

| 40-45 mins easy with 4-6x100m strides
Charles River. It took about 4 hours to muster up the motivation to get out and run today. I just tried to focus on one foot in front of the other. When my heart started hurting, I pushed my legs a little harder to flush out the pain. Somehow the Titanium by David Guetta and Sia helped lift my heart a little. I need to make a playlist to play that song over and over again. I know I need to run, I just need someone to hold me accountable to get out there right now. Tempo on Thursday and 16-17 miles on Saturday is so daunting right now.
First 3.92 miles were at 9:34 min/mi AP then strides were at 5:22 min/mi AP.

Cambridge and Boston; 6.21 mi in 53:56, 8:41 min/mi AP. I ran with girls from my group who were doing an easy run. They run faster than I like for easy but it was a nice distraction and made me get out to meet them for a run.

| 15 min w.u. 3-4 mile tempo between HMP and MP, 3 mins rest 8 x 30 secs on, 1 min off 10 min c.d.
Hit the treadmill because I didn't want to think about pace - entire run at 1% incline. 15 min wu at 6.4 mph, then 4 mile tempo: 0.5 mi @ 7.6 mph, 1.5 mi @ 7.7 mph, 1 mi @ 7.8 mph, 1 mi @ 7.9 mph so AP was 7:43 min/mi, then on's were: 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.9, 10, 10, 10, 10 MPH so AP 6:06 min/mi, 10 min cd @ 6.8 mph. 8.9 mi in 1:13:13. I cried during the wu, then the tempo began feeling easier than expected, I kept running into the handle bars so kept dropping the pace. I was really surprised how easy the 30 sec ons were, I think bc of doing strides every week. I finished feeling like I could have run the whole workout faster, which was nice. I am very happy about this run.
