Personal: I've been running since high school (mid-1990s) and do pretty well when I'm focused on a goal. My main problem is running consistently when I'm NOT training for something specific. I'm an attorney, and I've been married to my husband, also a runner, for 5 1/2 years. We live in Phoenix, Arizona. We had a beautiful baby girl, Caroline, in August 2009. |

| I ran outside in the Phoenix heat tonight. It was muggy! I ran on a dirt path near my house when it was getting dark, so I had to avoid potholes, etc. My pace has been averaging around 9:00 per mile lately, so I was very happy with my performance. I stopped at stoplights to catch my breath, and I stopped one other time. It was a great run! | | Add Comment |

| Well, tonight was a different story. It was warmer than last night, 93 degrees, which is actually very cool for a Phoenix summer night. So my husband and I decided to run outside again. I kept the 9:00 pace for the first half, but barely. Then I had to WALK. Hubby had the watch, so I don't know my exact time, but I ended up walking about a mile. Back to the treadmill!! | | Add Comment |

| It poured outside today, so the temp was down to the mid-80s, but it actually felt a little cooler, so I was able to run outside! I did 5 miles in 45:20, a 9:04 pace. I'm finally getting back down to my "in-shape training pace." I always try to run the second half faster than the first half. Tonight I ran my first half in 22:18 (first mile in 8:30) and the second half in 23:02. The first half felt really easy, even though I seem to be running faster now, which is good, I guess. I need to work on staying strong for the second half. My heart rate came down fairly quickly. I was down to 120 bpm after about 6 minutes. I'm always going for 5 minutes. Overall, I'm very happy with my progress lately. | | Comments(3) |

Well, it's been an interesting weekend. I didn't run on Thursday because I had something to do after work (I need to be a morning person!!). Friday my husband and I traveled to Colorado intending to do a long run in the mountains on Saturday. Our flight was cancelled, they lost our luggage, and we didn't get to CO until midday Saturday. Our luggage arrived Saturday night, so we had no running shoes or clothes until then.
We were finally able to go today. We went hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Forest with family members who don't run. We had intended to do about 6 miles, but it started POURING on us. I ran back down the mountain. Once I got going, my body heated up enough to where I wasn't cold, even though I was soaked. It was actually very liberating. | | Add Comment |

Back to Phoenix today, with the intention of lots of running this week to prepare for our trail 10K this weekend in northern AZ (and burn off all the junk food from the family reunion!).
It was frustrating to not be able to run, especially because it was out of our hands! Next time I fly, I'm carrying on my running shoes and clothes!
Thanks to those of you who posted comments.

We ran 1.1 miles outside and decided to complete our run in the gym because a HUGE storm was coming. It ended up being a good decision. The outside portion of the run went fine, but once we got to the gym, I felt awful. I did some pushups, ab exercises, and squats at the end.
Pace: 1.1 miles outside: 8:21. 1.6 miles inside: 9:06. Average pace: 8:47
