Today was a little tough.  It was a 6 min run/1 min walk ratio.  I went with Jenny.  Our avg pace was 12:56.  It was fun using the Garmin for the first time really.  We just kind of wound our way through the neighborhoods until we met our set reps.  I felt good afterwards.

Muscle up day.  Tough workout with the bar.  I'm paying for it now - quads are very sore.

Today's run was good.  We ran it in 40:49 with an average pace of 12:43.  It was me, Jenny and Desiree.  We did the little 5K route I discovered running with Paul on Memorial Day.  It's a good route.  I'm very sore now (from Muscle up) and I'm hoping I'm doing much better on Friday for our 9 miler.

Our group had decided to do a power walk today in preparation for our long run tomorrow.  It was raining so we went inside on the track :(  It's been a long time since I went on the track and I definitely prefer being outside. 

We walked for 37 minutes and did some good stretching at the end.  I took the opportunity to play with my Garmin a little and figured out how to work the interval timer on it.

What an AWESOME long run today.  Our group of 5 set out about 5:00 am.  We ran a beautiful route and ended up at Mimi's for breakfast.

Stats from today's run:  9:04 miles, 1:47:52, avg pace 11:56!!  That beat our previous avg pace by 30 seconds.  Amazing.  Desiree set a great pace for today.  I kept up with her the first 2 miles and then moved to the back of the pack.  I feel like I'm the slowest one in the group - which is okay but I want to work on increasing my pace.

I felt a lot better today than the 8 miler.  My knees didn't hurt as much.  I took 2 Motrin before we left and it wasn't quite as big of a downhill run.
