5.5 miles - Treadmill

I set the treadmill up in front of the computer so I could watch some marathon footage from the 2012 London Olympics.  Both of my girls have been under the weather this week and it has really thrown off everyone's schedule.   Maggie my 9yr old missed her indoor soccer game this morning :(  I'm a co-coach and I feel for the other coach, as it is quite a task to get all the substitutions running smoothly even with two people working together.  No one ever wants to play goalie either..... what's up with that?

5.13 miles - outside!

My wife came home from work and it gave me the chance to get out for another five.  Running outside is so much more rewarding.

My computer has been down for the past two days.  It turns out our modem was fried.  Not having the computer @ home and having blog related websites restricted at work....... I was jonesing big time for some fastrunning blog action!  Ha ha.

Tired legs.  9 weeks of no running will do it to you I guess.....  It was more windy than my mother-in-law after a plate of beans on this run :)

I have 30 minutes for lunch and really have to squeeze this run in before I'm late.

3 miles @ home (garage treadmill) - slow

Did this one after dinner at Johnny Rockets.  Houston burger, Chili fries & a chocolate shake..... OH MY!  I wonder why I was having cramps on the treadmill?

Nothing to exciting, although the treadmill decided to shut down halfway through the run.  I was like WTF? you stupid treadmill!

It was dark by the time I went out and the streets are much narrower after the snowstorm.  I felt like I needed a break from the treadmill though.

I thought of bagging this run a couple of times in the first few miles, but then things started to feel better after a while.

9 miles - gym treadmill - 7:16 avg.

I felt good about this effort.  I started out at an 8:00 min. pace and kept bumping up the speed every mile.  I even ran the last .10 miles at a 5:02 pace.  (Jake Krong's HM pace)  I'm convinced that dude is an Alien from the planet "Endurance".
