8 miles on the tm in the morning (last 2 I walked just to be safe and not get reinjured.)

3 more this glorious afternoon.

That makes today DDD- Double Digit Day which I haven't reached in a long long time! 

Woohoo for being pain free!

Today is going to be a good day.  I got to run by Merri Merri for 2 miles, then finished up a few more by myself.  Switched to the elliptical for 20 minutes.  One of my miles was an 8:00 mile just to see how my butt felt and there was and still is no pain.  Maybe it really is gone for good.

Ran fast and hard today. I was a disgusting pile of sweat, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do :)

 

Ran 3 more tonight around the 'hood.  8:20 average and I felt like it was a 7:00 pace, but I will get used to it here soon. :)

1 mile warm-up, 2 miles just under a 8:00 pace.  I had a one-upper guy on the tm next to me. Boy, that bugs me.  My buttock felt tight again so I did the elliptical for 40 minutes.  I usually keep the resistance around a 13 and the speed at about 6.5 miles/hr.  Today I kept that same resistance, but got my speed to stay around 9/hr.  It's amazing how much better I feel when I am not living in pain. Woohoo!

Not the best workout this morning.  Two of my kids were up all night puking so I was so very tired.  I also felt  nauseous, but I think it was just in my mind because I had been around it so much lately.

10 miles out and about all over town wherever my little heart and big feet felt like taking me.  It was utterly and completely fabulous!  And no pain anywhere!

It might be 8 miles I ran or it might be 9 miles.  I lost track but it is somewhere in that range.  Nothing too exciting about it but I got 'er done.

One of the first in the door at the gym this morning at 4:30.  I lifted weights, ran 5 miles until it got light then headed home and ran another 5.5 on the river trail. I am feeling sore from re-introducing weight training, but other than that there is no sign of my old injury and this is the first time I have been able to get this many miles in in a week.  Hope it lasts all summer long :)

I went running in the drizzle this morning. At about mile 3, I saw Lily walking so I turned around and walked a couple miles with her. By the time, we got back to our houses it was a downpour so I finished up a few more miles on the tm at home.

Started at 4:45 this morning at Gold's lifting a few weights, then I ran 4 miles, tried to leave when it got light outside so I could run a few more on the river trail, but the wind was so cold that I turned around and went back into Gold's and did the elliptical for 45 minutes.  It's all good because.........

I ran 5 on the river trail this afternoon.  It was hoooottttt, but I wanted to try to keep a consistent pace because that is something I struggle with badly.  My splits were 8:40, 8:35, 8:23, 8:52 (my daughter called me during this mile), and 8:10.  So they were a little off, but much better than I have been doing so I am happy  :) :0 :) ;)
