| After a day of non-stop eating yesterday, I'm surprised that this run was pretty good. I just ran at an easy pace in the dreary wetness of today. I got a nap today while my youngest was sleeping and my oldest and my nephew played quietly in a bedroom. They left me undisturbed for a good 2 hours. This was a historic moment.

| I did 3 miles at 9:05 pace and then 2 miles at 8:49 pace. All on treadmill--it was cold, windy, and I didn't run until later than normal. The run itself was fine, but I'm having stomach issues. I don't know if anyone else is like this, but if I have a significant change in diet, even if it's just one meal (like on Easter I ate some richer foods that I don't normally eat) my stomach bothers me for days. It's quite annoying. So I really wanted to stop running from mile 1 on, just because I was uncomfortable, but it was only slightly so I finished my run. I hope this subsides today before I go running, otherwise I'll just do another easy paced run. Something in my chest has also been bothering me for the last 2 weeks or so, but I can't pinpoint the location. Sometimes it feels like my chest but other times it feels like my back. It's probably a ligament or something? I've had this feeling before. I should probably schedule a doctor's visit, but I probably will just wait it out.

| I didn't feel too slow yesterday, but I did have to stop for about a minute after 4.5 miles while a stomach cramp subsided. But I forced myself to continue, even though I wasn't feeling it so much.
I don't have a game plan for the short-term yet as far as running is concerned (besides a 5K next weekend and a 10K the weekend after that). I'm thinking another 1/2 marathon this summer, but I don't know when. My brother is doing a triathlon at the end of August--I'm thinking about that, but I don't know how that'll fit in with my fall schedule. Lots of life-changing choices need to be made in the next month. One is deciding whether I can balance school, work and coaching all at once. I hate making decisions.

| Hubby was late, dinner was late, bath and bedtime were late, this workout was late. Bah.

| This was a tempo run. I ran out to meet Chuck and the kids at the Knights' park (via Murray Road and the Cemetery Road). It was nice to run on some hills for a change. Sorry to all the people out west who are getting snow, but it was 74 and sunny here. This was our first real spring day, but it isn't supposed to last--next week it'll be in the 50s.
