Time 46:24 AP 9:16

Did Bryan Kest Power Yoga first today-52 minutes (no yoga all last week, blah!)

Treadmill run. Will be doing a lot of those this week because I have to be at the school every morning at 7 for choir practice in prep for the performance. It'll all be over thurs.

So, ran a 6.0-6.5 to warm up for first .50 and then ran @ 6.5 the rest of the time with 5 minutes of TUT (total uphill time) 10% incline. Did a hill every mile and didn't slow down. Man it seemed like it took me forever to recover each time. I have a really hard time eating "clean" while on vacation (all last week) and I too much Easter candy yesterday.

I miss the sun and the 80 degrees:( At least it's nice and green here.

Time 1:14:53 AP 9:21 Recovery run

7am school choir+cold and snow=another afternoon treadmill run

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1-52minutes

Jillian Michaels Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism-50 minutes

Just read a list of 5 things to do to tone your legs. Interesting that the first thing on the list is:

1. EAT WELL 2.squats 3.lunges 4.step ups 5.wall sits

I've done all these exercises and they are awesome! I'm just realizing more and more that I can exercise till the cows come home but if I don't eat "clean" I won't reach the goals I'm striving for.

It's almost warm outside today when the wind isn't blowing.

Time 54:58 AP 9:10

5:15am outside progressive tempo run

Haven't been up and out this early in a while. Had to cause today is one of the busiest days of my life! The weather was great. Smelled like spring. The moon was a bright clipped thumbnail and I could barley make out some light behind the mountains. The birds were singing loudly! Legs were a bit tired from yesterdays cross training.

WU 9:51, 9:40, 9:39, 8:55, 8:30, 8:25

Was supposed to leave @ 7am to run with friends but there was a FOOT of SNOW on the ground this morning. I was completely shocked! Had no idea it would snow that much. I texted them to go without me cause I didn't want to do another long run with wet feet.

So...10 mile TM run this morning in 1:37:30 AP 9:45. Longest TM ever but ya do what ya have to do.

Next 10 miles in the late afternoon with my husband. There was some blue sky out west and very dark, stormy clouds east. We ran right into a snow storm with a head wind. It didn't last long thanks goodness and the blue sky reappeared. Later it got quite warm and sunny and gorgeous! The trees are so pretty with the blossoms. It was cold and windy one more time for a while and then cleared up. CRAZY weather!!!!

So the second 10 took 1:35:27 in 9:33. Splits= 9:22, 9:44, 10:15, 8:48, 10:25(huge hill), 9:12, 9:44, 9:55, 8:59, 9:04

Last long run before the marathon. Next week's 14. I don't know if I'll do another spring marathon. This winter training is killer.
