4 miles w/ Sara, 10:30 pace.  It was SLOW, I had to remind myself that's what I needed to see how good I felt and if I could go harder or not the rest of the week. I felt pretty good on this run.  I think w/ some good food & sleep today I'll be ready for 5-6 mi. w/ strides tomorrow.  I'm running the Tuachan Duathlon 5K this Sat. My plan for week is: (my cold better cooperate!! so far it hasn't gotten any worse, still head conjestion and sore throat- just don't want it to move to chest as my colds usually do...)

Today- 4 mi. w/ Sara (2 more alone tonight)

Wed- 5-6 w/ at least 7 strides w/ Heather

Thurs- 4 w/ Sara (2 more alone at night)

Friday- 5 alone

Sat- race

I still want to get my 26 miles in for the week without making my cold worse and without tiring myself out for the 5k on Sat.  Any suggestions anyone? Maybe I could break up my runs and try to fit in a couple easy miles at night?

BTW- Sara is doing great! She ran her 1st 5k end of Oct. and averaged almost 12 min. miles.  Now she's running 4 miles in 10:30 w/ me! I think she'll be ready to go longer and faster soon- I just don't want to push her- want running to be fun for her.  She's lost almost 20 lbs since she started running- bravo!

What a great friend you are! I'm sure your motivation has helped her a ton! How are things going at the gym? What 5K are you doing this weekend? Sounds like fun, I would love to do a 5K right now, but under normal conditions I would even consider coming down to do one but my goal this month is to stay home!

Glad you are feeling a little better. What a great running plan for the week. You should have no problem reaching your goal of 26 for the week. Good luck in your race!

Thanks again for a great run on Saturday. I am glad that you are feeling better! I am impressed by your schedule - I never plan that far ahead. I could take a lesson or two.

Have a great week!

Yay!! I haven't checked your blog in a while and was pleasantly surprised to see a picture of you and your gorgeous family. You do not look anywhere near old enough to have a 10 year old!!

You guys are too nice! Michelle- I'm running the 5k portion of the Tuachan Duathlon. I think its going to be really small. But I had to sign up for SOMETHING to get me out of bed in the morning! Andee- thanks for the encouragement, sometimes I don't meet my goals, but I usually at least come close and do more work than I would have otherwise...Jody- don't let me fool you into thinking I plan ahead, I'm just blogging my plan here so I'll be accountable to all you guys- otherwise I slack (well, I slack anyway...) Sarah- What do I owe you for the comment about my pic?! BTW, you don't look old enough to have your big kids either! I used to hate when people said I looked young, now I love it!!
