May 13-18
Mon: 5 tml. M1: 7.5 mph, M2: 8, M3: 4 and 6 incline half mile each, M4: 4 incline, M5: 8mph
Tue: 10.05 outside. This is E's last week in preschool. I cherish this couple of hours to run by myself... and I don't have to get up early! I started thinking I was going to do a ladder, but you can see my first 2 miles are minimally slower than my next 2. After I ran a mile a bit slower, then sped up for the next 2. This split was for the 4 miles though... remember no Garmin for me, so I have to go by memory of where my miles are.
1:15:31- total (7:31), 14:59 (first 2 7:29) 14:39 (next 2 7:19) 29:47 (next 4 7:26) 16:04 (last 2 cool down 7:50) I am a little surprised at myself. I did feel tired at the end, but that is great! I'm very happy with this performance. I'm still figuring out my pooper! I've felt really good thus far this season, paying attention to what I eat so I'm good the next day. Today was off though. I totally cramped up at mile 5... crazy! Maybe it was the fiber for bfast? Who knows!
Wed: 4 tml. Nice and easy recovery run. No swimming today. Photo shoot tonight.
Thurs: xtrain for 35 minutes. Not dancing as much this year has really done a number on my abs. I've lost them! Working on strengthening my legs and arms.
Fri: 6 tml. Was going to get up early... just couldn't! I'm so glad I have a treadmill!
Sat: 16. First 6 on tml. 8/mile. Next 8 still @ 8/mile. Last 2 were 9/mile slowed for Q riding her bike. It's OOOOKKKK! More important to get the miles on my legs than break records right? Loved having her with me!

May 6-11
Mon: 5 outside early morning run. Very nice! I do enjoy a quiet run in the morning, as it warms up. 37:26 (7:29 pace)
Tue: 7 outside (7:27)
Wed: 5 hill repeats. Got up early and went to run hill repeats on Youngs. The hill is about .30 miles, so I just counted each as .25 mile. Up/down 4x = 1 mile. My legs hurt by the end!
Swam 1000 m
Thur: rest
Fri: 5 tml. Was supposed to go 7 or 8, but I felt tired! Worried about running 15 the next day. I'm sure I would've been fine. The 5 felt good and easy.
Sat: 15 miles. Ran on tml actually! I started so early and it was rainy I stayed in. I thought I'd go out half way through, but I didn't. I ran @ 7.5 = 8 pace. Ate Gatorade shot blocks. Haven't tried those for a couple of years, didn't make me sick. I was hungry @15. Ate late last night so did stop for a potty break too. Not too bad at all. Sometimes as I creep up in these #'s I get anxious before I even start, even though I'm in shape, and have run them before... reassuring that it was just fine!

April 29 - May 4
We are back from the DR. It was such a great/needed vacation!
Mon: Ran 5 w/ Cand. We ran around the resort then out to the beach. We walked a little, but still hit 5.
Tue: Swam 1400 prior to leaving. Glad I worked out before we left, relieved anxiety. Loved swimming laps in the sunshine, outside. Not positive of the pool length, but it's fine!
Wed: so much to catch up on, plus fighting some depression coming home! Although it's sunny here, and nice! SO glad for that! Rest day!
Thur: 8 M outside. First 4 30:36 (7:39). Last 4 30:15 (7:33) Total: 1:0:51 (7:36) Felt good today. It's warm outside, I love it! I felt strong. While on vacation read RW, an article about our minds. Needed that. Feeling like I need to change thinking. Today was mentally good.
Fri: 6 tml. Speed workout. 46 min
Sat: 12 miles 1:35 (7:55 pace) Wow. I'm pretty surprised at this time. This was a tough run for me. My legs were tired even before I started. Good w/o for my brain! Drank G, ate one pumpkin. Felt in my tummy but went away. Have felt good w/ my digestion so far this season. Haven't had to stop to go at all yet! :) Ran Casey/Youngs route.
