After a complete waste of a week last week I'm starting this week on the right foot.  I was unmotivated during the week and the weekend was completely consumed by my and my sister's graduation.  But I guess that's ok since I should have been recovering from my half anyways.

 AM run:  7 miles at 7:30 pace from home to school to get my car.  My lower abdomen still has this weird diffuse pain that started like a month ago and running always hurts it.  Luckily I'm going to get it checked out with the doc at the beginning of June,  we'll have to see what it is.

 

PM run: 4 miles at 7:45 pace.  I had the small car so I had to run down to get the dogs from doggie daycare and ran them home.  That extra 2 miles at the end of a long day makes them extra tired

Checkers Practice #7 4x400 x2 at mile pace

Tough track practice
2 mile warm up
4x400 at rep pace(<80sec) with 1 min rest. Then jog 10 min and repeat
2.3 mile cool down

Repeats were 79, 78, 76, 78, 80, 76, 76, 72!!

Feeling a lot stronger after 2 months of practice. Plus our group is very motivating so it makes hitting goals easier
