| | 3.35 good feeling miles. :-) I can't believe I went all last week without running, haven't done that in over a year! I did work out some, but to not run?? Wow. Not going to beat myself up though, I think I needed the mental break. I'm feeling very refreshed now and ready to start my 1/2 marathon training plan. Here I go! |

| | What a beautiful evening - 65 in MN, in MARCH! Yeah! First run of the season with the kids along. Daughter in stroller, boys on their bikes. My daughter has definitely gained weight since last summer - legs are feeling the weight I was pushing. Well, that will help my solo runs feel all that much better! |

| | Did the loop around my house; actually started out much too fast for me - sub 8 min mile. Ended up running 3.12 in 26.30. Even walked for about 30 seconds due to the fast start. It just felt so good! But I really need to figure out a way to pick a pace I can stick with and not start so fast. Or, maybe I should have just done intervals tonight....now to prep myself for a 7 miler tomorrow. Completely doable, just haven't done it for a long time! |

| | 7.0 miles at 10:13 pace, 70 degrees, wind was 22mph. I was doing a good job holding back to a 10 min mile pace and then the wind started getting to me and I didn't have to hold back anymore, I was tired. Lost a bit of time on the last 1.5 miles. First time I've done that distance in awhile though so I'm happy. Week one of 1/2 marathon training - DONE! |

4.2 miles, 72 degrees, wind 6mph nw, 49% humidity.
Tried out new saucony triumph 9's; 8mm heel drop. Calves could definitely feel the difference. I also tried runnning a 180/min cadence - wow, that's hard! Am I really supposed to be able to do that or is that something a professional/experienced runner does? I could not maintain that cadence so I turned it into more of an interval training. My hamstrings were definitely getting tired, I also tried to use those more and keep my feet right under me rather than over-striding. On the plus side, my IT band is not bothering me after this run like it has on other runs lately. |

| | 8.0 miles, 55 degrees, 9mph ne wind. Run felt awesome - I loved the extra energy I got around 5.5 miles. I actually finished the run stronger than I started and had a great boost of confidence knowing that I could have done more miles if I needed. I did have one first, ahem how to say this delicately......runners trots? I actually had to stop and sit on the curb under the guise of a leg cramp because I thought I was going to lose control. Luckily I didn't but my family was wondering why I busted through the house and straight to the bathroom afterwards! :-) If anyone actually reads this, do you have any advice? |

3.2 miles, 66 degrees, wind 25 mph sw w/ gusts up to 40 mph. This certainly wasn't a fast run with the wind as strong as it was but it was a strength building run. Running into that wind has made my legs a little sore and they wouldn't normally be after a short run like this! :-) |
