Let's do this!

This morning I ran 6 on the dreadmill, speed intervals 7:40 pace to a 6:22 pace. Boy did that feel good! I had a lot of energy this morning. Then I crunched my core and came home and ran 4.5 more on the river trail, and some on the high school track. My outside pace was a consistent 7:25 pace on the roads. On the track I was able to speed up more and was hitting a 6:40 pace. I love running fast! 

I am currently getting texts tracking Kara Goucher and Nan Kennard at Boston.

*4 pm miles*

1 hr elliptical. Only 2 miles running to let my legs get some recovery.

Lots of weights.

*2 pm miles

8 outside. I have some foot pain going on right now -just haven't mentioned it. I'll probably get to a Dr. soon, to be safe.

30 minutes of elliptical hell. 4 miles on the dreadmill, then 3.5 outside on the river trail. It was worm suicide out there this morning. SICK!

Going to start running in my axioms everyday and see if my foot pain goes away. If it does, I'll know it was all my other neutral shoes hurting me. I trained in axioms all last spring and summer. Brooks Axioms are for pronators. Went to the Dr yesterday and he thinks it may be a fascia problem. But not plantar, another part of the fascia up close near the big toe. If I do better in my axioms, then I'll know I was misdiagnosed as a neutral shoe wearer. Then somebody at runners corner is in trouble with me!

by the way, the river trail has crested its banks under the bridge. Kind of scary! I hope it doesn't flood the whole trail. Then I can't run there for awhile

*2 pm miles

10.25 on the tm with Meeerrriii! :) About 3.5 into my run, I doubled over in pain. I had some sharp pains and cramping in my upper abdominal/ribs area, OUCH! I went and sat down (doubled over) for about 10 minutes in the weights section. Roids (roy) and Dr jimmy Brown thought it would be funny to offer me a drink, and then try to squirt it on me. What the? You don't pick on a girl who's doubled over in pain. It's okay, I got them back! I told them they looked gay  :)

side note: the tm said i did 11, but I rounded down because I jumped off the tm a few times to dry the mass sweat off. No worries, it's nothing like Burts  daily waterfall.

Yesterday I was going through pictures in my picasa, and I realized I never posted any pictures from my TOU experience. So I'll throw these in just for fun. Let me know if you can't see these mmmk?

10 miles. Speed intervals from miles 3.5 to 8- 7:40 pace to a 6:18 pace. Miles 9 and 10 were  7:03 tempo miles.Long hard run.
