I haven't been logging the miles in lately. They have been on the tm and slow so I haven't been very motivated.  Today I did a Spin class and it was awesome.  I love that and am so glad to be back doing it.  I already feel skinnier and more toned.

7 miles in 55 minutes on the tm at Gold's.  I finally felt back to normal and didn't hurt at all.

Did another 4.5 on the river trail this pm.

Last night at Macey's a guy accidentally bumped into my cart and rolled it over my toe! OUCH.  It immediately turned purple under the nail and started to throb. It swelled up and kind of reminded me of a lightbulb shape. It would wake me up during the night whenever the covers touched it wrong. Anyways, my point being is that I am back to hardly running for a few days AGAIN.  What luck.

I elliptizised for 75 minutes and then walked 1.5 miles just so I could talk to Monica for a bit.

My husband slyly turned the alarm off last night so that I would sleep in.  I know he does this out of concern because I haven't been feeling well, but it made me feel like I am running behind the whole day now. I got the gym about 9 and ran 7 on the tm. Downside-I am now not feeling very productive with my day. Upside-There was some entertaining things on the tv and I got to see people I haven't seen in a while.

 

I ran 4 more tonight on the river trail with the baby, my hubby, and our eight year old on his bike.  Admist all this we maintained a 9 minute mile average which I think is good with kids along.

Did the elliptical for 75 minutes with Lily.  I hope to get out tonight and do at least 3 fast miles.

I ran 10.5 on the river trail this mid morning.  I finally feel like I am kicking that cold crud to the curb and getting better so I thought I would try being outside and quit babying myself with my 10 minute miles. I borrowed Lily's Garmin and I hope I didn't put it into shock.  I know it's never seen anything but 7 minute miles or less and I showed it it's first 8ish minute miles today (with one 12, had a sideache.)  Anyhoo, I am definately not in my best shape ever after taking time off for hurt feet and the sickies.   A little disappointing but expected.  At least I know I can get faster.

Ran 7.5 miles on the tm. Pretty sure I was in a coma for most of it. I stayed out way to late with the girls last night and then had to take out the trash at midnight.

12 miles on the tm at good ole Golds.  Lily helped me through some speedwork. Feels good to hit a 50 mile week again.

I hit the gym and did the elliptical for 25 minutes then when a good treadmill came open I did some running.  My splits were 9:14, 7:37, 7:30, 6:53, and 4:50 for the last half mile.  I felt really good.
