February 24 - March 1

Monday: 6 miles outside (48:02).  windy and cold!  my slower miles were running into the wind.  it felt good to be outside though, and for a moment I could feel the sun on my face!
Ballet

Tuesday: 4 miles tempo - treadmill, squats, situps, then swim 650 meters (13 laps *50).
Ran 1 mile @ 8 min, then 2 @ 7:30, 800 @ 8, finished 800 @ 7:30 pace.
Maybe I should swim first on Tuesday's, the lanes were crazy.  But, I ended up talking to a nice old man.  When I got going again my feet started cramping, my arches have been cramping like crazy lately in dance!  I called it quits!  Good enough for today!

Wednesday: rest... I intended to run, but the day got away from me.  I wanted to swim only on my 'rest' day, but not this week.

Thursday: 3 easy treadmill @ 8/min.
Swim 1600 meters... that's a mile!  Swam next to a speed demon who wasn't even using his legs!  He did his whole workout with a foam thing between them and swam with his arms only!  Strong.

Friday: Nothing!  I really need to get my workout done early if I have other things during the day... it usually doesn't get done if I wait until later!

Saturday: 8 outside.  After our long stake rehearsal the sun had gone back behind the clouds, but it still felt great to get outside for a run.  Haven't gone 8 for a while.  Felt strong the first 4.  My posture was good, kept good pace, felt light.  Mile 4 always seems to be a hump for me.  Once I can get past it I'm ok, although my joints all felt tight the last few miles.  I did get a good stretch in.

November 4 - 9

Monday: It's getting cold outside!  First time of the season feeling the cold air in my lungs.  Feels good!  I felt like I had really good posture and form today.  Got some new running clothes for the colder weather.  My run felt easy today... kept a great pace!

Tuesday: rest... I guess!  The kids were home today.  I told myself I'd run on the treadmill, but worked all day.

Wednesday: 9 miles outside.  I thought I'd pressed start on the Garmin, but nope!  So I waited and started it where I thought mile 1 was.  I was wrong!  I know where mile 4 is so I stopped it there and began again for the last 5.  I know where my pace was mostly.

Thursday: 25 minutes cross train with weights and aerobic.

Friday: 6 on treadmill.  I felt tired and wanted to watch TV, so I ran on the treadmill.  An easy 8/mile pace @ 2 incline.

Saturday:  13 outside.  It was windy.  I wore my long pants, w/ compression sleeves under.  Nike, thicker top and beanie.  I was a little warm.  I could've gone with capri's or lighter top. 
I did a mid day run so of course my pooper was off.  I felt sickish around mile 5.  Had to stop and squeeze at 5.5!!!  I overcame though!  Mind over matter!  I didn't stop to go the whole time!  That is a big freaking deal to me!  I'm sure it affected my performance a little, and I was sick at home for a couple of hours, but I did it!
I contemplated doing 15, a few times, but didn't.  I'm not sure I'll reach my goal for this half.  I know I'll finish.  I don't know if I'll run it in 1:35, which I'd like to do. 
My goal for this run was to do 1M warm-up at 7:45, then run 2 @ 7:30 and 1 @ 7:15 ish... 4 times.  I actually did better than I felt I did.  I'm pretty close.  I just need to amp up my last 3 miles.  I think this week I'll run a 10 mile pace @ 7:30/mile instead of adding that speed mile in.  I may have more in the tank for the last 3 on race day. 
I am in the second coral, just after the seeded and elite runners!  I went back and forth in my brain my whole run... pressure, choking, why did I put down that time?  such nonsense!  I had to keep talking to myself... just run!  Just run!  I put 1:35 as a finish time because that is my goal!  Try to reach it!  Run hard!
