Splits: 9:40, 9:39, 9:42, 9:40, 9:36... we are very very consistent today!

Got up early to run 4 miles on the TM before work since we're going to a movie with a friend tonight.  Man I am NOT a morning person.  I finally feel good after I shower, eat, dry hair, get dressed.  Seems stupid to do all that before I work out though!  :-)  So I just feel so blah and sluggish.  Oh well, now I feel great, now that it's done!  All at 10:54 (5.5) pace except the last .25. 

My new shoes finally came so I tried breaking them in.  They feel cushy but so stiff.  This is going to be an expensive year shoe wise but I am not getting over 300 miles on one shoe, the old ones are getting up there with 284 or so. 

21 days in a row of working out!

Ran 4 miles on the TM before work again this morning.  My parents are coming in this afternoon so I probably won't get a chance to work out later on.  10:54 (5.5) pace.

Ran 4 miles with Lisa today at a horrible location I picked!  Whoops.  We almost got ran over by some buses.  Felt sluggish today. 

23 days in a row!

7 miles today!  Yippee, a new record in my comeback.  It was drizzling the whole time, so Cooper and I were soaked by the end.  Cooper kept looking longingly at the house everytime we passed (just did 10 loops in the neighborhood route, in case I wanted to stop early or the rain got worse), he was tired of the run I think!
