Stopped to stretch after 2.2 mi.  Felt tight.  I tried after yesterday's run to be more conscientious about stretching, but I probably needed more stretching.  I will be stretching more throughout the day today so I can be ready tomorrow.

Ran another mile after that.  It was hot, but the run was okay.  Nice and slow.

I ran to drop off the power bill.  The run was longer than I intended, but it was fine.  It was much cooler this morning.  Right after I dropped off the bill, I stretched before running back home.

Altogether the run took me 35 min.  About 9:20 pace.  It felt nice and easy.

Did a tempo run.  Not sure exactly how far but 2.7 is about right.  Mapmyrun doesn't show the park I ran to.  I'll fix it if I go out in the car to clock it. 

Pace was about 8:40.

I ran and met everyone at Mary Alice park.  I planned my run beforehand so that I would pass the park once but continue on for another mile.  I was tempted to stop when I passed it the first time, but I kept going as planned.  Yay for me.

Took me 39:28.  A little less than 9:30 pace.  It felt easy.

This run was okay.  I wasn't feeling it during the last 1/2 mile, but I kept going depite that little voice that was telling me it would be okay to stop, that I'd done enough for the day.  That's the voice I'm worried about as I am slowly increasing mileage--the one that says, What the heck are you doing this for?  Why bother?  My problem is sometimes I am seduced by that voice... 

I left my watch at home because I wanted to just run without worrying how fast I was going.  It didn't do anything for me mentally, which was what I was hoping.  I feel better when I know my pace.

I was annoyed because my Nike + iPod thingie wasn't working.  I haven't used it since the fall and it never told me accurate distances anyway, but I wanted to use it for time so I could just hear the lady's voice tell me how much time had passed.

Ran at Lake of the Woods.  I ran most of it with Kelsey, Dr. Rose, and Coach DeWitt  When we started off, I felt it was a good pace, but it was a little fast.  Maybe it was the hills.  Maybe it was because I'm not used to talking so much while running.

It was nice to run with someone for a change, though!

I'm logging it as 4, but I'm not sure the exact distance--it was at least 4.
