Ran a 5K with my son today.  I had a ton of fun, and I think it was a PR I will have to look at my report from last year to make sure.  I saw Andy, his two daughters and ex-wife.  Andy ran with Gracie. She said she wanted to puke at the end, so she must have ran a great race.  My son dressed up and just ran for fun but still had a great race.  If I can I will add a picture of how he was dressed.  

Splits : 8:01, 7:57, 7:48

over all time 24:48 - I just looked and this time is 9 seconds slower than last year - Oh well, I wonder if I knew how fast I had run this last year if I could have pushed it faster this year.  Really though this race is just for fun so why push it!  I did have to stop and tie my shoe, maybe that is where I lost the 9 seconds!

Really I love being with my grandson though!

5 total miles 3% decline 4 at 8:57 .9 at 8:34 and.1 at 6:40

Lifted hard for legs because I missed Monday

Spin - WORST class ever!  Sub was late, music was bad, she couldn't cue us right so everyone was lost...what a waist of an hour. If I had dared I would have walked out!  I did do my own thing for the last 20 minutes so I guess it was not a total waist.

Five marathon pace miles today!  They were VERY hard.  My plan is to lift really hard on Wednesdays and then run pace miles on most Thursdays.  The hope is that my body will learn to run pace miles on tired legs and make me faster during the last part of the marathon.  I guess we will see how this works in 18 weeks!

Splits: 8:45, 8:40, 8:50 (hill), 8:42, 8:35

The effort felt like I was running an 8:15 so these times were a little slower than I wanted. 

I ran with no music to test the Ragnar no head phones rule...I think I will be heading out today to buy me safety speakers that clip to your shirt.  Running with no music is hard!

Pass the Marinara sauce my legs are NOODLES! 

I am having a hard time even walking right now.  I did 6 miles on the elliptical 3 miles at 11% resistance and 3 at 9% resistance in 45:45

Lifted for legs - Really hard again

Yoga - Ahhhhhhh!

So this is my disclaimer if Kim beats me in the 5K tomorrow it is because I thrashed my legs today!

What a day!  Saw a ton of friends, spent the day with family and came home with hardware!

I wanted to run this race fast but I knew with all the lifting I have been doing my legs may not cooperate.  I was going to try to break 24 minutes but I didn't even come close with a time of 24:50 (garmin) but it was good enough to take third in my division.  I guess it pays to be an old lady.  My mom took first in her division, so did her friend and my neighbors also both took first.  My neighbors had to leave early so they asked if I would pick up their awards.  My daughter picked up one and Kimmy picked up the other.  Because of their awards everyone I was sitting with got to go up and get an award, I think the people behind us were getting tired of our cheering!

Splits: 8:17, 8:18 (hill), 7:35

Totally a fun day!

Slick did you figure out how to use your itouch yet? (lucky guy!!!!!)
