Slow & Steady Wins the Race :-)

Did 5 miles at Des Moines Creek Park with the running ladies, but only about 2.5 of that was actually running.  Had a nice surprise that the park ran into the beach, which was so beautiful! 

Then did homework homework homework all day and wanted to watch some tv but the only other tv (that's not being monopolized by football ALL DAY on Sunday) is in front of the treadmill so I walked 4 more miles.

This week's miles (Mon-Sun): 27.68 miles, but only 8.93 running miles.  If I still feel fine next week I've got to get the running number above 10.

Ran 3 miles with Cooper. For the first time I am starting to feel good! I am still cautious/worried about my ankle, but the last loop of the neighborhood I actually started to lengthen my stride and go a bit faster, instead of being so worried about landing all my weight on my left foot. Yay! Maybe I'm finally getting healed?  I hope so.

Splits: 10:31, 10:19, 9:31

Yep, that's right, a mile in 9:31, I am HAPPY about that. Granted, my lungs actually felt challenged for the first time, but still.  That familiar feeling of pushing yourself that I love came back - why I love running!  Please please please let my injury be better.

Got up early so did 3 miles on the treadmill, 1 walking and 2 running at 11:30 pace.

after class walked 4 miles on the treadmill.

2 miles on the treadmill.  The Office wedding today!  I LOVE Jim & Pam!

4 miles RUNNING outside!  That's right, a new record.  Ha, that's funny my long run for the week is 4 miles. Took Cooper, he was TIRED, as was I. :-)  Very consistent, splits were: 10:40, 10:36, 10:42, 10:36.
