Pretty uneventful run on a treadmill.  Pushed the pace for a few miles at a 7:12 pace.  Forgot my water bottle so by the end of the run I had cotton mouth.  Av pace 7:46.

Five miles on the treadmill, about all I could take today.  I think I would have preferred running in the snow storm.  At least its done.

Finally had a run that felt easy all the way through.  I think my marathon recovery is now complete.  I'll start adding long runs next week and in a couple of weeks start adding tempo runs.

Other than that I ended up running from one store to next, Smiths, Target, Wal-Mart...looking for a indian costume for my 12 year old girl.  Why to we always wait to the last minute?  No luck so that means Lorena gets to sew one...

Got a chance to run with an old friend, not that she's old, but we've been friends since college.  She is new to running and was really down about her performance.  She is terribly competitive and gets frustrated each time someone passes her.  I tried to explain to her that her attitude will make her burn out.  She needs to make running her own thing and not worry about anyone else.  The main objective should be enjoy it and the rest will come naturally.  I invited to join the blog.  Hopefully she'll join.

Too cold today but at least it beats the TM.  Did some fartlek through out the last five miles.

No run today.  Suppose to be my day off but still have too much energy to burn.  Swam 2 miles at the rec center.  First mile pushed the pace and did it in 24:36 (about 2 minutes slower than my training pace when I was doing tris regularly).  Second mile I put myself into cruise control and did in in 31:06. 

You don't get a "runner's high" from swimming obviously but it has its own attraction.  I think part of the attraction is you really turn off the world around you, kind of like sensory deprevation.  You don't hear anything but a little splashing and all you see is the blue water.  Very relaxing.
