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) |
