Let's do this!

Ran 7.5 miles this morning. I hit the alarm button and shut it off at 4:40. I fell back asleep for 25 minutes and woke up at 5:05. So I got to the gym late, but I did run 7.5 in 55 minutes. I am such a sleepy girl sometimes. Usually Mondays, I run for 4 miles and then go to spin for 35-40 minutes. But, I was to late and the bike I like to ride was already taken when I got there. That's okay, I like running anyways. I'm thinking I may do a quick 3 mile PM run this evening around 8ish. Question: should I do the speedy spaniard?

I was soooo tired this morning. I went to bed last night at 11:20 and woke up at 4:50. Very tempted to sleep in. But alas, I got up. I ran 8 miles in 1 hr and 7 minutes. I did a bunch of speed work during the middle of my run while Merri was there. Good times running at an insanely fast pace. On another note, I have lost 8 lbs. since January 1st. And before Jan 1st, I had lost about 6. So since last August I have lost nearly 15 lbs.I am so glad. I got a little chunky this last pregnancy with Brooks-not my normal physique and it was hard to deal with at times. But hey, hard work is paying off. Now I just need to maintain. I have to stay away from the good stuff most of the time, but not all the time. Because we all know that never works  :)

*****Update****  I am now registered for the speedy spaniard 10k. My goal is to do it in under 45 minutes. Totally doable.

No running today at all. Nada. I forgot to set my alarm and woke up at 7. Shawn leaves for work at that time so I was out of luck. Oh well.

Got up at 4:45 and ran 8.30 in an hour and 8 minutes. It felt good to go far. I was sluggish the first 3 miles but after that I hit a spurt and ran my little heart out and fast. Julie H. came and I can always go farther when she is around. :) I need to lift, it's been about a week since I have. My bad. 

I had so much fun running this distance (7.25) with Merri and Lynsey today. It is so much better when you are running with someone. The weather was perfect and we kicked some arse :)    Avg. pace: 8:05

I ran myself a 10k today to see where I am at time wise. I finished in 46.40. I am going to be training my rear off for the next month to try and get my time below 45 minutes. I know I can do this! My legs were a wee bit sore yesterday from my outdoor run. I need to train outside more.
