Got a head cold. I hope that I am better by Saturday because I really want to run a better race on this course than I did last time. I ran a race there in August and the course owned me!!!!

Not much better. It does'nt look like that I will make my 5k tomorrow. :(

I have not run in 4 days, but the good news is that my head and chest is starting to loosen up.(if you know what I mean)

Finally feeling well enough to run again.I kept it slow and easy because my legs felt like noodles.Still quite a bit of drainage which was kind of gross.I am glad that I was by myself.

It still felt good to be outside on the road.

3.26 miles @ 8:45/pace

Feeling better again today. It felt wonderful to get out and stretch my legs!The temperature was probably 60 degrees, the only draw back was that the wind was gusting 35 - 40 mph.The head wind was rough but the tail wind was fast and furious.I am starting to get back to normal. :)

I went for a run this morning after carrying the kids to school.

I am confused, Yesterday I ran 4 miles and it felt like my fitness had melted away.I struggled to finish.

Today I ran 5.53 miles in 43:53 @ 7:55/pace and it felt comfortable.???? I haven't got this figured out yet.

Update** I felt so good today that I went back out this afternoon and ran again.I did'nt warm up I just took off.

3.1 miles in 23:26 @ a 7:33/pace This would be a new pr by 28 seconds if I were running a 5k. I dont want this day to end.

I went for a run today in the afternoon hoping it would warm up a little.Today something was different , I felt really good.

I started off at a 8:45/pace and worked quickly down to a 7:45. I tried to keep it around a 7:55-8:00/pace but my legs wanted to go faster. So...why argue with them right?? I threw in some strides at a 6:40/pace during the run which helped out on the average pace.

6.30 miles in 47:47 @ a 7:34/pace.

A great day of running for me.

I cut my run a little short today because my legs were sore from yesterdays run. It took me a little while to get on pace today.

4.09 miles in 31:49 @ a 7:46/pace.

I felt better towards the end.Stretched for about 15 minutes after the run.

My run before the intervals was easy mile @ a 8:24/pace and then 2.3 miles @ a 7:27/pace.

The intervals were 8 x 200 in .39 @ a 5:16/pace.

Jogged back home and took a nap.

I ran a easy 6.61 miles today because of sore hips and legs. I guess because of the speed work yesterday???
