Six very slow miles with Paula this morning.   My legs felt like lead!  This means I must have worked hard on Saturday which is a good thing (mostly).   

Interesting and challenging week ahead.   I travel, my husband travels - will do my best!

 20 - 25 min of yoga; to many interuptions helping my son with his homework.

Missed yesterday due to a day trip to Pasadena and had to be at the airport early.    Not sure if yesterday wore me out, the weekend trip to St. George, the trip last week to San Diego  or all three.  Probably all three plus I have not been sleeping well this week.  I woke up just fine but once I started to run, I was completely exhausted.  Took it extra easy but not sure if I will bounce back for tomorrow.

No run today :(   I was up most the night due to IT issues with my work that affects our India office (my responsibility) so the run was lost.  Not going to get it back.

Six miles with Paula.  Tried to push a little but it didn't really happen.  Felt good though.

Missed the BBK's again this week.  My husband is still out of town and my kids had stuff going on this morning, so no run for me.  I finally was able to get down on my treadmill about 7:30 tonight and ran while I watched the Miss America pagent with my girls.  They were very entertained - I was not.   This was also my first attempt at any speedwork since last September.   I warmed up for 3 miles and then did  1/2 mile repeats for 6 miles and then cooled down.  I ended up on 1/2 mile, off 1/2 mile.  The recovery was too long but I wanted to be conservative because this is my first speedwork  in forever and I was on a treadmill and my mechanics change.

 I was tired at the end and just wanted to be done but made myself cool down.  I remember why I hate the treadmill - too hard to run and make my kids mind ( they seem to think all rules and logic are out the window) and too many interuptions.  My mom called, my brother called....glad it is over. 

 25 min yoga afterwards
