6 miles in 7:06 pace with Miss Renee.  Legs were pretty soar, did a few strides to loosen up.

A.M. 12 miles

Met RRBers at FAC for hills repeats up and down Lehigh Street.  Legs felt pretty flat so I took it a little easier than usual.  I was averaging around 5:40-5:50 pace for the up/down intervals. 5X4 minutes (2 min. up, 2 min. down) and 5X2 minutes (1 min. up, 1 min. down, last one 4:42 down.) 

P.M. Easy 4 miles and weights

Happy St. Patty's Day, people! 

A.M. 6 miles in 6:58 pace

Shorts and t-shirt run!  

P.M. 4 miles in 7:10 pace

Was going to head out for my second run around 4 p.m. but I hit a wall and decided to put the kids in front of a show and take a nap instead.  Woke up 45 minutes later feeling much refreshed.  Stretched for a while, jumped on the trampoline with the girls and made dinner.  Green waffles, green eggs, green spinach and fruit slush, green key lime pie yogurt as a topping on the waffles. Dished up dinner to the kiddos and headed out for my second run. Passed at least eight bikers wearing green jerseys.  Also passed some green runners.  The mandolin, banjo, and folk singing of a band I've really been digging lately, Mumford & Sons put me in a happy Irish mood (see below.)  Now I'm eating green food and considering watching part of Robin Hood tonight while I fold laundry after the kids are in bed.  I don't even remember the last time I watched a movie.  Short on leisure time these days.

A.M. Met Matt and Katie B. at Fairview track.  20 min. warm up, stretching, strides.  

Coach D. timed us for 4X (800M w/1 min rest, 2400M w/3 min. rest)

My times were

1) 2:48/8:46
2) 2:43/8:38
3) 2:40/8:25
4) 2:36/8:09

For those of you (myself included) who think that looks like a bunch of meaningless numbers, basically my half mile intervals started at 5:36 pace and progressed to 5:12 pace and my 1.5 mile intervals started out at 5:50 pace and progressed to 5:26 pace.  I ended up with 8 miles of interval running and 13 miles total for the morning.  And I was tired.

P.M. 4 miles in 7:21 pace.  Tired.

18 miles in 7:15 pace.

I want to say these were easy miles, but they weren't exactly easy.  I was tired.  My legs were trashed.  Could have something to do with the fact that I just completed my biggest week ever on tired legs after just running a huge PR in the 15K last weekend.

We had a birthday party for Breanne this afternoon and it was a BLAST!!  Lots of friends came and brought side dish to share so we had a large smorgasbord of food to enjoy.  With church friends, running friends, and reading class friends, the house and yard was full of awesome people.  Aaron put together a scavenger hunt with clues leading the 15+ kids all around the house and yard to find "treasure boxes" (shoe boxes) full of loot!  The kids all got to fill goody bags with fun little toys and candies as a reward for their hunting.  Nothing like a crew of little pirates scavenging around your house for clues and treasures...so cute!  They also got to enjoy jumping on the trampoline, playing on the play-set, and stuffing their faces with cake and ice cream. Good times!  After everyone left, Sara Vaughn stayed a while longer so Kiki and Bre could play and I put my feet up and enjoyed catching up with Sara.  Then I took an hour and a half nap while Aaron cleaned up the mess.  What a champ!
