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.

Tue: 5 outside
Wed: flew to DR!!! Yea! Planned to run 5 miles each day... nope! Rest!

April 15 - 20
Mon: 5 miles tml. Hill w/o. 39 min. Warm up 2 incline @ 7.5. M2 3 & 4 incline. M3 5-8. M4 8 incline. M5 4 & 2. Last bit up to 8 and 8.5 mph.
Tue: 7.08 outside. New shoes! Forget how good they feel! Ran M1 @ 7:05. Didn't get rained on until the end. Wore running shorts... chafed! 52:26 (7:24). Boom! That feels good! Was going to go 8, however my inner thighs were on fire!
Wed: swim only. 1800 m. this is a good week for me! this is the fastest I've swam. I did this in about the same time I normally do 1400. I'm trying to not stop in between laps. I don't do kick turns or anything fancy. The stopping to turn around is not like continuous swim in a lake! I'm trying to do better at no breaks in between. It's challenging to try to slow my pace down in the water. If I go too fast for myself I can't breathe and that is a challenge when your face is in the water!!! This was a good week though...
Thurs: 4 outside. My legs are a little fatigued. 4 was fine for today! 30:06 (7:31) Again M1 was 7min. Again w/ the wind, BUUUUUT it felt like spring today... finally!
Fri: Wanted to run, but needed a rest. Ideally I will get a run and a swim in on Wed, so I can rest Thurs. I like to run the day before my long runs. Not this week though.
Sat: 13 miles. Did 10 outside in the yuck wind and cold. Last 3 on treadmill so M could take G to baseball. Since it was only 3 I pushed my time on the treadmill. I ran M1 @ 7.7, M2 @ 8, M3 moving up to 9.3mph. My tml time was 22:19 for the 3 miles (7:26). My first 4 were 31:46 min (7:56). My next 4 were 31:35 (7:53). My next 2.13 were 17:07 (8:02) Overall time outside 1:20:29 (7:56)

Friday: 5 mi outside. Kids home, Q bbsat. So nice to get outside. 38 min.
Sat: 10 miles 1:19 (7:54 pace). Same loop as couple of weeks ago. I kept good time, but it felt like I was running through water, hard!
