I have been sick and not feeling up to running but I tried anyway today. Maybe tomorrow I will be back up to some better mileage. |

| I went running on the river trail this morning. I had stayed out late with some gal pals the night before and didn't get to sleep until almost 2 am. I had a hard time getting up and got up a little later than I wanted. It was kinda too warm and windy but I pushed through. My first mile about killed me and it was about a 9:30 minute mile, but I ended up running fast enough the next 3.5 to bring my average speed up to 8:20 minute miles. I am crossing my fingers that I feel back to normal this week and run a lot more than I have these last two weeks. |

| Ran 7 on the TM this morning. I gotta get up earlier so I can go farther the rest of this week. Here's to hoping my husband quits shutting my alarm off. |

| It was a fun run this morning. I averaged 8:10 a mile. Lily found me about 1.5 miles before our runs were over. Nice way to end the run. |

| I had such a good time this morning. I ran the river trail then detoured through a nice neighborhood by mine to pick out which house I want to move into. Sadly, no one was standing outside ready to give me their house so I ran back across the bridge and I saw a familiar person about a half mile ahead of me. Lily! I ran hard trying to catch her for about a mile, but then realized that even if I caught her at that point I was so out of breath that I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation anyways, so I dropped back down and let 'er go. I was able to maintain a 7:47 minutes per mile pace for the whole 7.5 miles. I am so excited about it. I never thought this short stocky body would be able to do that!! My next goal is to try to do 13 miles at that pace. Maybe on Saturday, I will give it a try. |

| I went to the gym at 5:00, did the arktrainer/stairstepper thingamajig for 45 minutes while I visited with Kira, then I went to get on the treadmill and couldn't stand the thought of it, so I drove home and ran 4.50 miles around the nieghborhood/park area. I averaged 7.7 miles an hour again which is a 7:47 average. I am happy with it. |

| Ran 9.25 miles around the park neighborhood area. The last two miles felt like I was wading through quicksand. I felt so hungry that my stomach hurt. I either need to eat more dinner at night or pack a snack I guess. I was a lot slower than the last two days but I still maintained a pace that will get me the time I want for the marathon. Average pace: 8:10/mile |

11 miles outside today. I maintained a Boston qualifying pace throughout. I hope I can do that for 26.2 miles in September. |

| Ran 4 miles with the babe in the stroller and the hubster by my side. Pushing the stroller even if it is a jogging stroller is hard work, I say. |

Went to Good Ole Gold's this morning and did the elliptical for 45 minutes than ran on the treadmill for 2.5 while Lily walked and talked to me. She didn't want to run today in anticipation of her race tomorrow, but I she was sweet and kind enough to walk by me and chat to help the time pass quickly for me. What a friend! |

My inlaws were here to stay so Adam and I left the kids with them sleeping this morning and did a run together. It was so much fun to be together doing it. I am excited to do it more often some day. It was a miserable run other than that. My right butt cheek hurts so bad every time I run these days. I have a pulled muscle or something right where my legs connects to my bumtock. We run by the city center to watch the local yokel runners come through the finish line at the Speedy Spaniard. That was awesome. Good job Lily and Merri especially. I am proud that I can say I know them. |

| Ran almost 10 miles around the trail area and the neighborhood. I went earlier than usual and it sure was nice and cool. I saw no one on the trail this morning which was wierd. Maybe the dark rain clouds scared them off, but hah! I never got rained on once. |

I set a goal to get to 15 miles today at a 9:00 pace. I maintained 8:20 pace until 15 miles and then still felt so good that I did another 2 miles just for the heck. I feel ever so much better about the marathon now. I know I can do it!! |
