Ran my sprints on the treadmill this morning.  Trying to run out all that's on my mind :)  Got pretty tired around 20 minutes, not sure why, I got plenty of sleep last night.  But, managed to finish up okay.  Tomorrow is easy day - yeah!

3 easy on the treadmill this morning.  Stayed up a little later than normal last night, plus still a lot on my mind, so dragging this morning.  Finished up with Jillian.

Tempo workout again this morning.  Debated about getting up early or just doing it after the kids went to school, but dragged my sorry butt out of bed early.  Glad I did, too, a lot to do this morning.  It's my oldest boy's birthday today so I'm going to eat all the calories I burned off this morning :)

On a side note, learned something interesting today.   My younger sis has been having trouble with her knees while running.  It's gotten so bad she hasn't been able to run lately, so she decided to go see a sports medicine doctor.  The first question he asked her was what side of the road she ran on.  Apparently, you should switch it up.  Did not know that.  I always just run against traffic, for safety reasons.  Because she always ran on the same side of the road, her hips were out of balance which has caused her knee problems.  So, all she needs is a little PT to fix her problem, thank goodness, and the rest of us can learn from this. So, glad to know this!

3 easy today and that was it.  Had to help at the school this morning so no time for Jillian.  :(  Hope she forgives me next week ;)

Decided to up the distance for today.  Luckily, the weather held off on the rain until the last mile.  Unluckily, I had a sinus headache the WHOLE 12.5 miles!!  Not cool.  We walked every 2 miles, and that felt better, but the whole running thing with the pounding just caused my head to pound more.  And, my body just felt heavy this morning.  Don't know if that was because of the head or if I was just tired.  I'll blame it on the head.  Needless to say, it was not a very speedy workout (not that it is supposed to be), but it was very slow for us.  Took 2 hours to complete.  The last 1/2 mile we actually walked.  Hope my head gets better soon.  Supposed to be taking a trip next weekend which will not feel great on an airplane if it's not better.  Gotta figure out a running course or something for next weekend, too.  Any great running courses north of Houston?
