You never slow down, you never grow old

10.8 miles in 1:32:58 [8:36 pace]

Almost quit after 1 loop around Fresh Pond.  Did my first 2 miles just under 8:00 each but then I just didn't want to run anymore.  Slowed my pace a bit and told myself I had to do a loop around the pond before I could go home.  After that loop I loosened up and decided to do another, then another before heading back to Watertown.  Glad I didn't quit.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TOMORROW!!!!  I'll be up around Heartbreak Hill cheering everyone on!!!!

Man....I love Marathon Monday!!!!

Walked the 2.5 miles from my house up to Comm Ave. right at the 20 mile marker just before Heartbreak Hill.  Got there with a bit to spare before the elite women and then men came through... wow!  Hung around to see my amazing Hannah fly through the Newton hills!  She looked fantastic and finished in an insane 3:13!!  She is my hero!  Anyway then walked up the hill to BC to get a bite to eat then walked back home.  Usually I walk from Heartbreak Hill to the finish line area but this year I just didn't feel like fighting the crowds.  Another amazing day in Boston..... so proud of everyone out there who gave it their all!  Congrats!!!!!

Total walking today 7.0 miles (I'll count that as my recovery 'run' for today and put 1/2 the mileage in my count for the week....)

Also congrats to Benn and Emma on their amazing finishes in the 6 hour ultra in the horrid weather yesterday in Buffalo!  You guys rock! <3

coed 4's volleyball... except once again we only had 3 players.  We went 6-2 against teams with 4 players and only lost to the team in 1st place.  We played awesome!  Our defense was nasty tonight!!!  Nice job Team Tony!!!!

Also nice job to my CELTICS!!!  2 down 2 to go baby!!!

7.0 on the treadmill in about an hour

first 4 miles were first 0.75 miles at 8:34 pace then last 0.25 miles at 7:03 pace for each mile (felt really strong during the whole stretch, and the speed part didn't even seem that fast so I will probably bump that up to sub 7:00 pace next time)

then walked 0.25 miles at 14:00 pace

then finished with 2.25 miles at 8:34 pace and walked out the last 0.5 miles to cool down

my left calf is super tight, I tried the foam roller after stretching but I just can't get it......

Got my prize today for being the 1st to register for the Josh Billings RunAGround triathlon!  Woohoo!

Took about a 2 mile walk on my lunch break to get some air and try to get rid of some work frustration.  Run and volleyball later tonight...

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill at 8:34 pace, first 2 miles at level 5 hills and the last 2 just flat.  That pace is a bit too slow for me, but for some strange reason I am scared to make it faster.... I run faster than that outside, why do I think I can't on the treadmill?  Anyway... then I walked a cool down mile before stretching and going to volleyball.  Coed 4s 4 x 30 minute matches and we went 7-1 overall!!

So I can't decide if I should count walking miles (like walking at lunch and my cool downs) in my total mileage.  I feel like that is for running miles only.... any thoughts?
