Wow, my legs were tired!  Not sure if it was the warmer weather or what but I just couldn't get in a groove for this easy 3 miler....

Nice, cool run tonight. Felt good! I'm really starting to feel like I'm coming along as a runner - every once in awhile I hit my stride and feel like I'm gliding along effortlessly. Last night I had quite a few of the moments but man oh man were my legs hurting during the night. They definitely got a workout!

2 easy miles in addition to step class.  Good news is that I'm finding that my 'easy' speed is faster than a few months ago.  Woo hoo!

1.5 miles before step class, 1.5 after.  He worked us during class and my legs were very heavy for the run afterwards.  Then a good session on the abs.  Over the winter I'm going to stop worrying about mileage and work on speed.  3 miles every run but pushing the speed a couple times a week.  I'd like to come out running a 5k in under 23 minutes by spring.....totally doable, I think!
