| 10 miles on the TM. I did one segment of .05-15% incline running. 30 seconds at each incline all the way up to 15% and then each incline for 30 seconds all the way back down. No repeat on that one today. |

| 8 EZ miles with the Mr. I didn't complain and we had a pleasant run. We ran out to the poop pond adding enough millage, we didn't have to run out to the West Gate (this is a good thing). |

| I thought I was out for an EZ run. I think I put more effort into this run than I wanted. 8 miles at 8mm, out and back on the base. |

| 3.35 miles on the TM early in the morning. I could just not get running out of me in the early AM hours. Went into the weight room instead. 1 mile of Natural Running drills 2 mile run with Ian Adamson. He told me I needed to pick up the cadence pace of my legs. |

| 4 miles with Ian Adamson and other runners on base. I ran in Newtons for the four miles which they tell you not to do. They felt rather natural to my feet and I want to invest in a pair for my next running shoe. 5 miles on my own later. |

Ian Adamson (7x World Champion of Adventure Racing, Bad Water Masters division winner, 200 x triathlon pro athlete) came to little old Laughlin Airforce Base to give a FREE running clinic this past week. I had the opportunity to listen to him lecture about everything running for two days. His main focus was to teach about Natural Running and Newton shoes. I think I am baptized to the forefoot shoes that he had us train in and buy if we wanted to. www.formartz.com/Pages/adventure.html (Just a link about Ian). Such an amazing experience to run with a world class athlete and have him analyze my gait. I am thinking about becoming a Newton coach as well. I am also ready to throw all of my shoes away that are not close to zero drop. ;)

| Today was one of those days I just couldn't do what I wanted to do. 12 not 18. Oh well, life will go on. This was suppose to be "easy week" for me anyway. 4 weeks until the marathon. |

| Five slow miles around the neighborhood. Wicked wind from the west! 40 minutes on the stairmaster. Did this to get the kinks and tightness out. Plankage. Anyone out there like to watch Biggest Loser??? I like that show too much I think. |

I got a few in on the TM. Needless to say it was really hot and I will be going back later to finish my workout. Felt pretty gross. Went back to the gym... 1 mile WU. 1 mile repeats 5X @ 7:00 mm, last mile around 6:40 1 mile cool down. I felt good about this workout. If my long run goes as planned, I think I will pull this marathon off. I think my goal is just to BQ. |

I was suppose to go slow on this run. Maybe I just wanted the darn thing to be over with. 5 around the base. Not the usual 5... Out to the poop pond and back. Got my body fat % today in the BodPod. :( 8 weeks to bring that number down!

| LSD in Del Rio. AP: 8:43 Started out at my house and ran toward the West gate of the base. The West gate closes at 8 a.m. and I barely made it before the gate closed. Ran down to the highway where my running journey would continue. Yes, I ran on the shoulder of the highway for 12 miles. Ran North toward Del Rio (6 miles). At mile 6, I stopped to GU and someone actually pulled over to see if I was OK. Texans are sweet, even though the fellow frightened me a bit. I ran along side a border road (where boarder patrol catches illegals),and hoped they wouldn't get mad at me. Made it to Del Rio city and stopped at a gas station to fill my water bottle. Continued East on the highway that goes to San Antonio. The entire 6 miles was in a head wind, nothing new to me. Scenery was ugly. I watched airplanes in the sky wondering if my husband was flying one. Made it back to the base (Main entrance), and the guard asked for my ID and how far I had ran. I told him I was at mile 14, he about passed out. The other guard mentioned he saw me earlier at the West gate. They were both amazed. Last happy two miles on base. :) No running companions this morning. My friend Elyse wanted me to do 3 miles with her and when I got to her house there was no answer. People do not understand the run! |

| 3 EZ miles on the TM. Some strange muscle pain is going on around the outside of my left ankle. I will be sure to baby the thing! I thought I have been really careful with miles lately. 30 minutes on the stair beast. 3 more EZ miles. |

| 7 miles alone. Picked up Jill and Elyse at the gym. Ran 3 really slow miles with Elyse and dropped her off. Wanted to run 7 more with Jill but I just could not manage it. Guess I will take 15 poopy miles for the day. Weather was INCREDIBLY humid. My skirt has never been so soaked, not even in a marathon. |

| Ran with David and his friend Jeff 10 miles around the base. Humidity was only 30%, not 70% like it was on Thursday. This run felt so nice and easy. AP: 8:20. David kept telling me to slow down. 12 mile bike ride with David, Jeff, and Joe. They completely smoked me on the bike and took off at an easy pace. This was discouraging because David kept asking me what was wrong and why I couldn't keep up. Just told him they were too fast. I am doing something wrong on my bike. |
