Once again, thanks for the encouragement through my downer week everybody! YOU are all the nicest people. ;)
Tuesday I ran 9 miles on the treadmill at the gym. I did a 3 mile warm up and then 5 miles of hills that simulated Boston's Newton Hills (at my hill tempo pace) and then a one mile cool down. It felt so good!
Wednesday I ran 4 easy miles and worked out with some fellow MOMS Club moms at our local track. It was so good to exercise with other people! I need to do that more often.
Yesterday I ran 11 miles on the treadmill again (poor air quality outside due to multiple forest fires in the surrounding areas). I ran 15 minutes warm up, 59:58 for 8 miles, then 13 minutes cool down. The middle 8 miles were 2 @ marathon goal pace (7:41s) then 4 @ tempo (2 @ 7:18 & 2 @ 7:13) then 2 @ marathon goal pace (7:35 & 7:30). It felt pretty good, but my legs were WORKING. So were my lungs. I talked to God a few times to help me through it! I felt lightheaded, as if I were going to pass out, between miles 4 & 5, but the feeling passed. Otherwise it went great! :)
Today is a complete rest day. I really like those!
Have a great weekend.

Wow, those are some great runs!! I'm glad you are back to feeling good, sometimes we just need a break! You are an amazing runner, but you are human!
I start my 12 week program for CIM on Monday- yay! I hope to meet up with you there, but in the meantime I'm looking forward to training "together." Keep up the good work!! :)
What a quality workout indoors!
So glad the week is turning out a bit more optimistic than earlier.
Recovery and rejuvenation is powerful.
Keep up the great work and living!
C'mon, You know you wanna LAUGH--
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ahhh that is great:-)
Hi Hun, Looks like ur back to ur awesome workouts!! Way to go!!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! Without those low times, I don't think we could fully appreciate the good times, so I guess they have their uses. Now it sounds like you've rebounded and you're on your way back up. :) Keep rockin'!
