3 treadmill miles on my new green Flows at recovery pace.  I really dragged my feet getting going this morning.  I had a dentist appointment at 8 and was wondering how much I could get away with doing beforehand.  The inner turmoil went on until the gym was no longer an option.  Soon I would be running out of time to run at home.  I went for it and ended up being 10 minutes late to the dentist with teeth not as clean as I would have liked.  

 (Going to the dentist is always like taking a final exam where I haven't done any of the homework.  This time I didn't even cram.  Every time I swear I'll do better and the next appointment will be different, but it never is.  My bedtime routine is almost always to brush as fast as I can and then floss tomorrow. Maybe I need a flossing blog so I can be held accountable somehow.  But who wants to read that?  Of course, who wants to read this?)

 Weighed in at 195.  Ate way too much this weekend.  Way too much.   I'm going in the wrong direction.

Lower body workout.  Left quads are stronger than right.  Is that because my left hamstring is tighter?  I need to stretch, but stretching seems to aggravate the hamstring thing--which seems to be getting better since I started running again.

Ran 5 miles on the treadmill.

Upper body workout in the morning, then I had to run up to Layton to watch Jane's cheer competition.  She was really good. 

I ran outside for the first time this year.  It is always a shock to run on the road after a month or so on the treadmill.  The sun was out.  It was nice.  I'm trying to keep my long runs at about a 10mm pace.  I ended up averaging about that, but my pace varied with the terrain.  I tried to focus on cadence.  It was more difficult to keep up than on the treadmill.

I don't know what the new shoes are doing to my feet, but my feet were sore and numb for the first 5 miles.  It is like they are ruining my older shoes.  I don't know if it is that my other shoes are worn out or something else.  I have run on shoes that were gone before and didn't have these kinds of problems.

The hamstring flared up more.  I think it was the strain of running outside and uphill more than the distance.  I ran farther last week on the treadmill without much trouble.  I expect this to be with me the whole time.  I was encouraged that it seemed to be getting better, but I'm not optimistic enough to think it will just go away.
