Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.34	0.00	6.34

Ran with Paula this morning. I had every intention of taking it easy today but when she suggested a tougher route I let her push me to do better. The first two miles were flat and then mile three is all up hill. The hill actually felt really good I pushed right along. Mile 4 is all flat and it zipped right along and then we had a long wait at a light at the start of mile 5. I had the hardest time getting back going and struggled through mile 5. Mile 6 is down hill and the pace picked up pretty good to the end. Not to bad, but my legs really felt it. My quads were pretty tired from Saturday so I scrapped yesterday and will add additional stretching sessions this week.

WOW I think we did great. I for one am going to take the rest of the day off. I need to let my kids know and hopefully they will comply. YEAH right. Have a great day, after that great start.

Super job today! Why to push yourself.

Okay. I AM still here...just figuring out how to post/reply to your comments. Hope I am doing it right? Good grief, I am an idiot sometimes. I replied from my email last time and then got the notice that it failed to send, etc. etc. ANYWAY, way to go with your 6.34 miles. You gals are awesome. I need to start pushing myself a little more. How did the Sat race go, BTW? I'd love to do the midnight race again with you guys. WAY fun!
