| I'm back!! After a three week hiatus due to weddings, travel, weather and illness, I am getting back into the swing of things. I am excited to get back into race shape and see what everyone else is up to. 6 x 800 with the track club. Not as bad as I thought. Started around 3:27, last one was 3:07. It's nice to be back to my Tuesday night routine of intervals, a protein shake and a new episode of 90210 :) And the bunny and turtle seem happy to be settled back in too. I am not certain on my exact goals yet. I plan to run a 5k either January 31st or February 7th, depending on how quickly I feel like I'm coming back. Hope everyone is doing great! |

| 6 hilly miles at San Luis. Longest run since the marathon. Felt pretty good, hopefully that means I'll whip back into shape pretty fast. I can't help but laugh at my big 15 miles this week. |

| 4 moderately hard at San Luis What was supposed to be an easy run turned into a tempo run of sorts, because there was a fast girl on the trails that my pride couldn't let get too far away. |

| In the morning I volunteered at the local 30k race and froze for a good 4 hours (24 degrees at the start- brrrr). It was definitely some good motivation to get back into shape though, and I enjoyed ringing my cowbell and cheering people in. Not to mention the free shirt and chili :) After a good nap and cup of coffee I went out on my run. (I waited til it was a beautiful 55 degrees). I needed to do 7 and decided it would be really good if I added a 3 mile tempo in the middle. I think I was overestimating my abilities and only did 1.5 tempo, but it was still a decent run and on a mega-hilly course. 3 miles easy, 1.5 @ 15k pace (10:40), 2.5 @ marathon pace = 58:46 (avg. 8:23) |

| My heart just broke watching the Ravens lose. I actually had a Super Bowl ticket (I bought it from a place that gives me most of my money back if they lose). It really stinks when I think about the opportunity that I almost got to experience. Well at least I have money to eat now. | | Comments(2) |

| I realized today that my GPS watch can do harm. I tried running way too fast on a day that is supposed to be really easy. And it doesn't help that I am out of shape, so I can't run at the pace I could two months ago but I try to anyway. So this is the second run in a row that I let my watch get me to run too fast. Neither of these work outs were what they were supposed to be. So for now on I will be smarter about what days I wear the watch, and need to listen to my body more than the pace written on the watch. |

| It was so cold (hey, 35 is cold to Floridians) that the guy in charge of intervals had us do a 3 mile acceleration tempo instead of stopping in between intervals and getting cold. I am pretty happy with my times and it felt really good. Mile 1: 8:12 Mile 2: 7:35 Mile 3: 6:42 (I think, need to check in my watch later) |

Ran 7 easy miles around town with a friend who is running the marathon next weekend and finished up with a nice 6:40 mile on my own... I put that one in fast miles :) Felt really good. My new race season starts in 2 weeks with a 5k, I am getting excited! Cracked 20 miles this week. I'm getting there. |

Happy birthday Jason!! The big 2-6. I can't wait to dive into the cake I made this morning :)
San Luis, 8:35/mile Felt great, wanted to go further but don't want to do add too much too fast. It felt really hot and muggy so I came back and checked the weather. 66 with 90% humidity. Exact same conditions as my marathon but 2 degrees cooler. Makes me think about how miserable that day was. Super gross. Saturday I want to do 15k, with a 5k warm up, 5k tempo and 5k cool down. I put that here to make myself feel more obligated.

Since I can't go to intervals tonight, I did the same workout as last week on my own. Except for the fact that it was 50 seconds faster!! 1 mile warm up (with Jason. he finished his first complete mile! baby steps.) 3 mile accelerated tempo- 8:08, 7:12, 6:28 (that last one was pretty tough) 1 mile cool down

Perfect running day- dry and 55 degrees. Since I committed myself to doing a 15k with a 5k tempo today, I was forced to do it. I didn't want to have to deal with the wrath of Kelli! :) 5k warm up- 27:48 (8:58/mile) 5k tempo- 21:02 (6:47/mile)!!! I am really excited about this. Stuck around 6:20 during the flat areas but slowed to 7:20s during the uphill. Don't get me wrong, it was really hard, but I think I am getting close to a 20 flat. Next week I will start around 6:30 pace and go from there, hoping for under 20:30. I didn't expect to be running this fast so soon, so I am really happy. 5k cool down- 26:48 (8:39/mile) 15k total- 1:15:38, avg 8:08/mile There are a few more things I want to take from this work out. One is that I should not skimp on the warm up for 5ks, and now I see that an easy three mile warm up or so does not hurt me, and probably helps me. Also, I want to get more comfortable with the idea of running miles under 7 rather than thinking it's fast. I think I have some good times in me, and hope I stay healthy to see some of them this year. |
