9.5 treadmill miles at home.  I ran one minute at 10 mm and then one minute at 8 mm.  It helped to break up the boredom.  Average pace 9:00.

Met the BBK's at the Riverfront parking lot.  We warmed up for 4 miles.  Then we did the relays around the cemetary and 5 hill repeats with our partner.  My partner was Emily.  It was a great workout.  I was beat that night.

Met the BBK's at 10200 S. and 40th W.  My legs were tired and I have a 20 miler coming up so I decided to take it easy today.  After the warm up, we were supposed to run a 3 mile and then a 2 mile tempo run.  I ran the first 3 miles at 8:40, 8:40 and 8:37.  Then the last 2 miles were 7:44 and 7:38.   It was a beautiful morning.  There was snow on the grass but the road were dry.  I ran with Cheris, Jody and Kelli at different times.  They were great to run with.  Average pace 8:38.

Another great long run with the 3 Michelles, Jody, Cheris, Dean, Kris and Kimberly.  We start at Michelle M.'s house.  It was cold and windy from the North.   We ran the first 10 miles in 1:30 and the last 10 miles in 1:25.  Average pace 8:46.  I'm always glad to have the first 20 out of the way.

Met some of the BBK's at Dean and Kris' house for Dean's most amazing run ever.  It really was a great run.  We warmed up for 3 miles.  Then I waited for Michelle to use the bathroom.  We ran fast trying to catch up with the group.  They must've been moving faster, cuz we didn't catch them until the end of the trail where they were waiting with a trunk load of treats.   Dean told us it was time for the tempo run.  So we turned around and ran back to his house.  They had donuts waiting for us at the finish.   Mile splits were 9:20, 8:58, 8:45, 8:13, 8:13, 8:00, 8:06, 7:42, 7:29, 7:42, 8:15, 7:59, and 8:14.   Average pace 8:14.

I met the BBK's at the Riverfront parking lot.  We warmed up for 3.7 miles, average pace 9:17.  Then Peggy had us run a 1 miler, 3 miler and 2 miler around Parkway Palisades.  My splits for that part of the run were 7:50, 7:50, 8:00, 7:29, 8:22, 7:54, and 8:09 AP for the last .5.  I really liked this workout.

Met the 3 Michelles, Dean, Kris, Peggy, Jody, Mindi and Sean at Michelle M.'s house.  We ran the same 20 mile course as we did 2 weeks ago.  It was a great run.  We ran the first ten miles in 1:28 (just over 8:46 avg.) and the last 10 miles in 1:20 (8:00).  The hill up in front of the temple even seemed fairly easy today.  Michelle and Dean had water for us at miles 5.5, 11 and about 16.  I had a gu at each of these stops.  The weather was great.  It was windy from for the first 5 and last 2 miles.   After the race we had bagels and chocolate milk.  Thanks Michelle N. and M.  Average pace overall 8:26.

I finally felt good enough to run today. I ran 6 easy treadmill miles. I still don't have a lot of energy. I had planned on trying to run the 1/2 marathon tomorrow in about 1:45, but I don't think that is going to happen now. Oh well. I'm just hoping to be healthy enough to have good Boston and Odgen marathons.

After being sick this past week I wasn't sure what to expect today.  My goal was a 1:44 and I did it.  I decided to call my sister Angela last night to see if she would run with me.  She did and I was so happy to have her with me.  It was only 38 degrees and very windy at the start.  I felt pretty good until about mile 10 and then I could feel my lungs burning.  It was so windy today.  My visor blew off my head and I carried it for 10 miles.   Our running group did awesome.  Out of the top 11 women, 9 of them were from our group.  Walter was first place overall.  My mile splits were 8:00, 7:49, 8:04, 7:52, 7:52, 8:11, 8:03, 8:22, 7:50, 8:18, 7:51, 7:46, 7:37, and :48 for the last .1.

Last night was the 2nd night in a row that I have not been able to sleep.  I finally took some Nyquil  at 12:00 and was able to sleep for a few hours.  I was too tired to run 10 miles this morning.  I ran on the treadmill.  1.5 @ 9:13 pace and 3.5 @ 8:00. 

 PM:  My 10 year old son wants to start training for a 5k.  So we ran 1.2 easy miles.  He did great.

Met the BBK's at Bingham.  We warmed up 45 minutes until the track opened at 6:00.  Then Cheryl had great workout for us.  I just ran a pretty comfortable pace for most of the run.  The new track is so nice.  I enjoyed running with Kris and Lisa today.  Average pace 8:48.
