A VERY fun interval run on the TM, first TM work-out this winter, I guess I miss it a little, a nice change from hills.  Pretty much ran a 6 & 6.4 pace for 7 of the miles and a 7 pace the last three!  I've NEVER ran this fast :)

No morning run, a morning off to catch up at home after a weekend away, sometimes I wonder if it's worth all it, yikes!  

Four miles with the running group, they are ready to increase their mileage next week, I am so proud of all the runners, especially my Remi who only gets to run with us once a week but can still keep up! 

Planning on doing another LONG run with Janet tomorrow, I wonder where she'll take me, lol!

Perfect temp of 52 when Janet and I left, we ran up two major hills so I'm happy with the 8:49 pace, but now my legs feel like noodles :)

Running club today it was pretty warm (76 degrees) and I have a autistic student I'm running with so it was a SLOW run!  I let the girls go ahead of us not to slow them down as they've come so far this year.

Was able to run with Janet this morning for 1/2 of her run, already warm when we started at 57 degrees!  7:57 pace, very nice running a somewhat flatter route today!  A stretch work-out and upper body weights afterwards.

Since it was in the high 80's today, we ran and power walked today for running group.  I may have to switch our runs before school sooner than I thought.  The walking part was a great break for my legs today though :)

A short run so I'd have time for a longer weight workout and abs today before a busy school day.  A little warm at 66 degrees already but enjoyed an 8:15 pace :0)

 Planning on a longer run tomorrow morning before the temps creep up!

A good run in 64 degrees, overcast!  The side of my right knee really started bothering me at around mile 4, had to stop a few times to walk it out.  Not good! Wanted to go 10 miles this morning but didn't want to push my luck.

Took an evening walk to the fountain and back to stretch my hip which is hurting now for some reason.  Beautiful evening temps!
