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. |

Chicago lakefront; nothing is tight, pulling, or overly sore after yesterday's run! I just have slight general leg fatigue. I think the soft surface of the snow gave my tissue a much needed break from impact. It was a gorgeous, frigid run with a friend today. 4.14 miles in 37:32, 9:04 min/mi AP

Cambridge is one sheet of black ice, thus, treadmill at 1% incline. wu at 9:13 min/mi AP then mile @ 7:35 min/mi, 1000 @ 7:13 min/mi, 800 @ 6:53 min/mi, 400 @ 6:44 min/mi, 200 @ 6:44 min/mi. I had to walk before the last 200 for my recovery. My legs felt dead from running last night and probably from running in the snow Sat. Hip felt great! 6.5 mi in 55:45

Through Boston in the snow wearing yak trax; 5.24 mi in 50:25, 9:37 min/mi AP. Legs felt dead but that could have been because the snow was pretty deep. Nothing felt sore or tight.
My confidence is severely lacking for Saturday's 5k after how dead my legs have felt all week and my lack of energy. Stupid head games!

| Tampa, FL; 70F and 88% humidity; 1.01 mi wu with a couple of strides, then 5k in 21:03 chasing a bunch of middle schoolers. Splits were: 6:42, 6:52, 7:07. I blame the slow last split on having to run around the 1 mile walkers then 5k walkers. Only 30 sec off my 5k PR!! 1.11 mi cd. Did not add extra mileage because the weather was just too hot and humid and figured my body could use a cut back week in mileage. 5.18 miles total.
