4 terrible, hungover miles around Las Vegas. I'm an idiot! Pina Coladas, while delicious, do not make a good runner. Like 9:45 min/miles.

| | Only half of this, like 2.5 miles, were running. I SUCK. I am starting to be TERRIFIED that the last week, including the weekend in Vegas of too much bad food, pina coladas, not running my long run, and inhaling disgusting smoke in the casinos has ruined me for next weekend's half marathon. I could barely run today. I have to get in a bunch of miles this week and a semi-long-run this weekend. HAVE TO. I cant believe I ran less than 20 miles last week, what with finals and the trip and everything. UGH, I'm disgusted in myself. On the upside, Justin's sister had her baby today! A brand new baby boy nephew - 8 pounds, 6 ounces. :-)

ALL of these miles are actually running, yippee. Not a trick like usual. :-) Feeling good today like maybe I didn't ruin myself over the weekend in Vegas. Ran first 5 miles at 6.5 (9:13), then started a mini speed workout, ran .1, .1, .2, .3 at 8.0 (7:30) with .1 miles at 6.8 in between. Then took a .5 break at 7.0 , then started again with 3 more .1 at 8.0 with .1 in between at 7.0. That was confusing, but mini speed workout. My speed bursts probably need to be getting faster than 8.0 at this point. Just happy to get some miles in. Did it in about 63 minutes. It'd be nice to do it in less than 60.
Now wondering what my long run should be this weekend. Had planned to do 14 last weekend and a shorter, taperer (word? ha) run this weekend of 8 or 10 before next weekend's half marathon. Now I have skipped that 14er, and not sure what I should do this weekend to keep up the mileage for the marathon training but still be in more peak form for the half.

Ran OUTSIDE!!!!!! It is a miracle! It WASN"T raining for the first day in FOREVER. On top of that, I went out at 7:00.. .PM! Can't believe it. Was racing to get to 5 miles before it was dark though. I tried to run pretty fast, tried to do a tempo run, and it felt a lot harder than it should have I think. Not sure what the average is, will update after the Garmin, but did it in 43 minutes. Is it spring finally???? Splits: 9:10, 8:51, 8:51, 8:48, 8:34, 8:15 Avg: 8:44, Total Ascent: 746
