Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.00	5.00	10.00

5 miles TM. Really tired legs.

Ab class

5 more mile on TM with tread class. There was a girl next to me that I was being a little too competitive with. I had to remind myself that these were suppose to be EASY miles.

I registered for TOU marathon today, I am official.... No SGM for me :(

45 minutes of weights. A lady at the gym stopped and asked me if she saw me that morning. I replied, "yes that was me, and yes I am crazy." Then she asked, "Oh I see, you must be a runner." I nodded, laughed, and was happy that I had earned the title of "runner."

1 hour power yoga. I think it wasted my legs for my Thursday run.

Bec!!!

I still think you should try and get into SGM. Either way you will smoke whatever course you run!

Yeah ... I'd say you are competitive!!!

I also have a hard time letting someone on the TM next to me go faster than me.

TOU is a beautiful course. Good Luck!

So glad I'm not in your TM class. I'd be so humiliated. :)

Isn't there a way you can beg and beg and beg your way into SGM?

GOOD JOB!

Thanks for your comments ladies.

Smooth, I really disagree with you about the TM... You would fit in with these ladies, they are so sweet! I think you should come down to the L Center and try it out once. The class is Mons, Weds, Fri at 9:30. I know it does start late in the morning, but it's fun.

About SGM, I have a family wedding that day that I better go to... I just want to put my focus toward TOU and call it good!

Oh darn, now we can't compete with each other : D I so don't like competition with friends. I usually "let" them win. Really TOU should be a blast especially at the finish line. You'll do great!! PS don't tell me you were running 10 mph on the TM while also trying to read ?? : D

Good luck with the training for TOU.

From Leandra on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 12:32:55 from 71.213.98.188

TOU is not going to know what hit it! Good luck with your training and I know you'll do great in the marathon.

Julie,

You are not competitive? I should race with you all the time, that is if you let me pass you :). I can barely keep up with you! No, I did not run on the TM on a 10. I still don't know how Melanie can read and run. I did see her at the gym. looking like herself, "effortless."

From JulieC on Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 14:38:49 from 168.103.187.35

Bec- I wrote "let" because really the other person is faster and I can't keep up mentally/physically. This is all from a dark deep track team memory. I can still see my girlfriend pass me the second lap (she ALWAYS did) anytime I run an 800 on the track. I wasn't very good in track compared to others. I just ran it cause my friends did. I don't know how I ever ran a 2:39 800, my fastest, then. But hey today if I challenged her I should most probably finally win...she is pregnant with her sixth baby. She lives in New Hampshire and we just reconnected on facebook. She no longer runs : D I am mentally stronger now. Speed coming along in spurts. PS I am glad I don't TM run but rarely. I think I too would "compete" there. But not if someone was doing a TM speed of 10 and reading. I would have to "let" her win.
