Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Went to the Pleasant Grove rec center with my sister and we both signed up for passes.  Tonights workout was a fun change from the boring TM in the garage routine.  They have a decent gym there and an indoor track.  Did 20 minutes on the elliptical then 3 miles on the track.  Felt a little strange running on the track.  I have been on the TM exclusively for almost 2 months or more so this was a very fun and freeing sorta run.  But at the same time I feel like my fitness is not at the same place it was in Nov, so I guess I have a lot of work to do.

23 min on the elliptical, tried for a little more intensity then last time.

Ran 3 miles on the indoor track on tired legs.  This felt like a tough workout and I ran kinda slow.  Guess some days you just have it and some you don't.

25 min on the Elliptical.  From what I learned on the blog, if it does not feel like hell then I'm not doing it right.  So I tried to shoot for that.  Then four miles on the indoor track.  Pace started out slow then got progressively faster.  

I just found out tonight that they only switch the indoor track direction every week.  So you have to run the same direction for a whole week.  I don't really like that, can't wait to get outdoors.  Please can it get warmer already.

2 miles slow on the indoor track.  5 min on some weird lateral machine, no idea what it really does.  But it felt like it was working some stuff that needed to be worked.  20 min elliptical.  Then 1 more mile around the track fast, well fast for me. :)

This weeks mileage was not as much as I would have liked, but it was the best I could do with some of the issues I'm having with my right leg.  I hope that by adding in the elliptical it will help replace the miles that I can't do right now.
