Running Accomplishments:

Kinda consistently running since 07 

Short-Term Running Goals:

5k in 18:00; 10k in 40:00

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

Felt easy, and probably didn't burn off the calories from Nick's famous bacon-wrapped cream cheese and chicken stuffed jalapenos.  Darn your tasty treats to heck, Nick!

Skipped my run - ate buffalo wings instead - and I don't feel guilty.

The wind felt nice and cool, but I decided against doing speedwork.

How much does weather affect your times?  Should I do speedwork in an air-conditioned room on a treadmill so I can run faster and work on turnover?  I'm getting my heartrate up to 85%, but am I training my body to run slow?  Or is just getting my heartrate up good enough?

Woke up early to run.  Garmin died after a half mile, but I wasn't going to have time at night to run and if I waited for it to charge then it would have been too hot.  I ran to where I know it's about 2.7 miles and turned around planning on going out and back twice for about 11 miles or so.  I ran some parts pretty fast or I put some effort into some stretches as there was a 5k going on and crowds make me push myself harder.  I do prefer being by myself and not pushing it though.  I ran a little extra to hang out with a friend running the race.

p90x - Yoga, chest arms
