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!
