Let's do this!

8 miles in 57:58. My 8 mile timed is slowly dropping. I'm okay with the slowly part. Progress is progress. 

2 mile warm up. Paces 8:06, 8:00 7:56 7:50

had planned for 4 tempo miles, held it for 3 miles Splits were 6:39 6:35 6:30... stomach started hurting, and really thought I would puke. Decided I better to slow down and finished the last mile at a 7:25. 

25 minutes elliptical.

Tomorrow I will run easy. Thursday I will get outside and do some speed on off's. Suggestions of what I should for that anyone? Then next Tuesdays goal is to hold my tempo miles at nothing higher than a 6:39 for 4-5 miles. 

 Strength trained 25 minutes.

9.5 miles on the treadmill. Just an easy recovery pace watching Dr Oz. I think it's time to tack on a couple more miles each day to build up my base. I need a bigger base!

My older sister is a Pulmonologist, I called and asked her if it's okay to be running outside during this inversion. Her reply was never even in your dreams. It's doing more harm than good. I am not trying to sway anyone on the blog at all. I am just saying I won't be running in it until it clears up some....which should be tomorrow morning. I am so out there you guys, and stoked!

8 miles outside. Left at 5 am. Did 15x1 min on/offs. It was 23 degrees when I left. 23 degrees never felt so warm :) I had to shed my second pair of gloves. I definitely need to do more running outside. I could tell. I have no idea my paces. It was too dark and my headlamp batteries were dying 2 minute into the run. I ran without any light. I felt empowered being out there though.

Went to the gym afterwards and did 32 min of elliptical hell. My fav~ 

I was on a hot date last night. So out kind of late and went to bed kind of late (10:45 is late to me). So I was slow to get up this morning and feeling a tad sluggish running today.

I felt like I needed to get my strength training in so I lifted for about 25 minutes. Then 21 minutes elliptical.

Was going to run outside but I checked the roads and they were all iced over. Ran 6.25 miles on the dready.

avg pace 7:25. 

It's Friday!  

12 Miles at a 6:50 pace throughout. Lately I get sick after long runs and the harder tempos. This never used to happen. Its weird to me.
