| | Instead of our morning walk, we did a morning jog. It was really beautiful outside, and we just enjoyed the run. |

Back to the darkness. Wasn't really too bad. 5-6 am. Avg pace 8:58. Last mile I was going a little faster, and had a few times I was running at/over 8mm, and was pleased that I didn't have any problems with the back of my leg hurting.
Caught a little bitty glimpse of the sliver of a moon we had this morning. It was just coming up and I saw it through the trees a couple of times. Noticeable darker out this morning than it was 2 weeks ago when I was running in the full moon light.
Spring break was nice. Looking forward to summer vacation. |

Woke up a little earlier to get a few more miles in. Hoping to chase some stress away, but at my speed today, I wasn't chasing anything. More of just a continuous pounding of the pavement.
Avg pace was around 9:40. I was so slow getting up to speed today. I don't think I hit a 9:30 until mile 6. But I was enjoying the time outside and the crisp cool air. I'm wondering if the good stuff I'm smelling is the holly trees. I'll have to go back out when it's light outside and scope out the good smelling places on my route to figure out what it is.
Showered, ate & took a quick nap before getting ready for work. Woke up with a headache...what's up with that? Glad I didn't have it when I got up at 4, or I might not have run. I'm such a sucker for excuses :-)
The sky was beginning to lighten up as I was heading home. No sun to be seen, but a beautiful shade of blue in the eastern sky. No moon either. I think today is the new moon anyway. Reminds me of a good book I read.....
Speaking of good things: only 9 weeks of school left!!!! |

slept in..it was nice
did something like a tempo run. avg pace 8:39
ran & did bleachers after work. Tried sprinting on the run sections. Didn't have very much energy. Didn't stretch well afterwards.....got a rotten pain in one of my "weak spots" that I often have trouble with. Stretched before bed. Hoping for relief tomorrow. |

pain from bleachers still hanging on, so I just slept today and did my strengthening/stretching exercises.
I thought it was better to just let it rest and hopefully heal this morning. Going to try bleachers again today, but I'll be doing them really easy. Maybe walking them if I have to, because I'm determined to have my sore spot (under my butt/top of my leg) heal quickly.
PM- did a good warm up and slow, slow, slow bleachers. My mile paces were 3 minutes over the paces I did Wednesday. 2.1 miles total. Warming up and going easy were good...the pain didn't really bother me. Stretched after.
Went home and ran another 3.1 miles while the meatloaf baked in the oven. Went really slow. All miles were over 10mm pace, but it was nice to go slow and enjoy the sunshine outside. Mr. rode the bike while I ran so we got to visit and laugh about our day. It was nice. I should make meatloaf more often. |

Did warm ups this morning and headed out early for a longer run. I'm not sure I'll have time tomorrow for any kind of run at all, so I wanted to get some miles in today.
Started slow: 10:40, but picked up the pace because I wanted to get 9 miles in, and if I went slow all morning, I would have run out of time. Avg pace 9:10.
I had a scary dream last nigh about people trying to abduct me while I was running. In my dream I didn't have any pepper spray or a phone with me. So this morning....I was all stocked up on emergency supplies, just in case. Luckily, all was fine, and the scariest thing I ran into was a rabbit...and it was afraid of me!

Had a long day, but finally got out around 4 for my run. Ran for a while, then just ran some more to get rid of a few demons, then just ran because I wanted to get home.
A little too warm when I started, but it was nice day and I had a good run. Mr rode the bike & carried my water. He's a good water-boy! |
