| | One hour group power with Jordanne, sooo tired, going to be so sore. Planned on running but was too hungry, came home and made some delicious Vday coconut chicken, delightful! My evil husband gave me too much candy and we shared a whole box of chocolates! |

| | Day #45. So sore today, abs still killing me, hamstrings, arms, sore! 4 miles at the gym track, walk break after 2, second mile all fast, fourth mile 'speed-ups' 2 laps on 1 lap off. Both of these miles ended up being about exactly 8:14, which I thought was interesting. Walked until hit a walk mile afterwards. |

| | 5:30pm (my night class was canceled so I took advantage!), 5 lovely miles outside with Cooper (his first run of 2011 I think, poor little guy!). NO walk breaks! Started pushing around 1.5, pushed the rest of the 2nd mile, 3rd mile, and especially the 4th mile. Did 1 whole regular loop to try to add back in some hills, Lincoln City will be hilly and I need to be ready! Ran until it was completely dark out, lovely full moon, so cold I never even thought about taking my gloves off. With walking 5.4.
Splits: 9:48, 9:04, 8:31, 8:08, 9:08
Pleased with this run, I am!

36 minutes on the elliptical. Had already eaten these calories worth of the rest of my vday gummi bears, so I knew I had to make it to the gym! The gym makes me mad because there are 5 TV's but 3 of them are usually on the SAME basketball game. And you have to go ask some huge jock guy who really likes basketball to change it. But I sucked up my courage and got to watch Community.
Getting some wisdom extracted tomorrow...

Took a full sick day today, which allowed me to go do my data collection in the schools this morning (for my own research project) and get a lovely run with Cooper in in the middle of the day! 5 easy miles around the neighborhood, today was garbage day so it was annoying dodging all of the cans everywhere. Did I mention NO walk breaks again?! I am feeling better and better, hope it keeps up!
TT: 48:23 AP: 9:38
Splits: 10:14, 9:43, 9:29, 9:23, 9:10 Then went and got my wisdom tooth out (that's right, tooth not teeth), and it was sooo quick and easy I am so glad I decided to be awake. The worst part was the shot in the roof of the mouth and then sitting there listening to the sound of the saw. Now I just wish it would stop bleeding! In other nonrelated, yet bad news, my computer has decided to stop charging itself. So I can now only use it when its attached to the cord. That is going to be a HUGE inconvenience.

| | Woke up and it was SO BEAUTIFUL out this morning, gorgeous blue sky, no clouds, just lovely. So made some fabulous plans: tennis, dog park with Cooper, and golfing. Loaded up the car with Cooper and headed to play tennis. 5 minutes after starting to play we were back in the car. Although the temps were cold they weren't unbearable (about 42) but the wind was whipping and BITTERLY COLD. Horribly horribly cold. So there goes the whole day's plans. 30 laps at the pool later on (dragged myself there only for the streak!), 1500 yards. Today focused on sprints (100-150 yards at a time) instead of distance in a row. Heart rate was definitely at exploding levels. Felt good.
