| | Weights for 45 minutes and then a nice 3 mile run on the TM. Started at a 9:30 pace and slowly bumped it up over the first mile. Ended my run at 8:15 pace! Whoo hoo--Haven't ever been that speedy! |

| | Started out with the intention of doing 10 miles, 3 miles at 9:30, 5 miles at 9:00 and the last 2 at 9:30. Sadly, I was sidelined at mile 6 with vein pain in my quad. I walked for a bit and limped thru the last 2 miles to the car. Average pace was 9:25 for the 8 mi. Not bad, but super frustrated that my mind, lungs and muscles are ready and the leg pain--which is a few years old now--says no. Dang. |

| | Started with ambitions of 7 miles. Leg hurt at 3 1/2 miles. Walked/ran at a snails pace home. So, so frustrating! Shamrock Run next Sunday is not looking good. :-(

| | Well, not a 9 mile run.....but a 9 mile bike ride. Can I log that here?! Feel like I should be tracking what I am doing even if it isn't a run--keeps me motivated! I also did 45 minutes of weights. Taking it easy this week with hopes of being able to complete Shamrock Run on Sunday. |

5 more miles on the bike. Still trying to rest the leg for the race on Sunday, but also get some cardio in. I also did 40 minutes of weights. Sadly, it is hurting tonight from my everyday activities. Dang it!!!! All I did was rode the bike, took my dog for a walk and weeded my yard. Hmmmm. Sunday is not looking schwell. :-(

| | Wow. Feeling oh so happy to have completed this race with the leg issues that have been plaguing me. It is was sllloowwww and steady on the hilly course. It was a pitiful pace but just so happy not to come home broken and unable to function. My goal was to complete this race without too much pain and I succeeded! Yippee! |
