Ran with Gunner.  He didn't pull as many times.  I'm not sure my pace but felt strong and faster than last Saturday.  Sunny & perfect running temp around 55 degrees- capri and long sleeve weather.

Started Kirkway loop but then had to turn around for emergency bathroom stop.  Finished with Franklin loop.  Wow, it is so different running in warm, humid weather!  Pace Ave 8:36 (not including stop)

Stephen and Mark were so nice to watch Aubree's boys! :)

Fun Friday - What do you call a group of runners after Taco Tuesday?  Answer: Fartleks

Kate and I had a sleep over at Aubree while Mark and David went to the Father and Son's Campout that was cancelled.  (They made their own campout at the farm).  Anyway, I had a little girl time last night.  

Aubree and I got up at 5:00am ate 1/2 orange and water then ran down Lasher to Maple to my house (6 miles) for a bathroom break.  Then Franklin Loop (4 miles). Back to my house for another bathroom/ food break.  FOOD:  lemon water, wheat toast, PB, honey, and banana.  I started to get a little too comfortable on this break and new it was time to run again when I started putting the dishes away.  Then up Echo/Franklin back to Aubree's.  I like being exact and stopped at 15.75 because I didn't want to go over my weekly milage.  (I'm counting that .25 with my dog, Gunner from earlier in the week).

Pace Ave - 8:59 (not including our two stops).

Beautiful morning.  The trees grew leaves over night and the birds chirpped happily as we ran. :)

Post run Breakfast: Craig makes a mean breakfast burrito- corn tortilla, egg mixed with Pace and cheese -top with hot sauce.  and a few grapes on the side.

Aubree and I found an 800m loop around my neighborhood.  It was so much harder than going on a track!  More variables - elevation, cars, dogs, mud, gravel, etc.  At least we had shade in some parts.  It was hot - 70 degrees!

Ran the first 6 miles in rain!  The rain cleared a little from drizzly to stopping by the end.  I'm totally soaked.  My shoes sounded like those baby skeaky shoes the whole way.

Kirkway loop with Mark at 2pm in the afternoon.  I was really hot in a long-sleeved t but didn't feel like taking it off.  Beautiful day though sunny and breezy with shade. Pace Ave- 9:12

I really don't know what my VO2 max is.  All I know is that the alarm on my heart rate beeped a few times so I'm giving myself 1 mile credit @ VO2 max for all those beeps.

Tried to do 800s around the neighborhood again.  My times are slower this week.  It is not as accurate and is harder on the street.  I know, excuses again...blah, blah, blah...  At least I got out there.  Mom and Dad were shocked that I would go to Costco in running clothes.  Didn't have time to change and shower but at least I got my run in!  I didn't get my 400 split.  Here are my 800 splits.  Better N' Nutt'n!   

1.  3.26

2.  3.32

3.  3.29

Mark, Aubree and I ran from Aubree's house to my house and back to Aubres's  I think it is about 12.  Not sure exactly both my watch and Aubree's watch batteries ran out.

Beautiful mroning.  Left knee and right shin a little tender.

Ran 7 miles in the heat of the afternoon around 3pm.  Would have gone earlier but Mark and I went back to sleep after putting the flags out at 5am.  pace ave (9:24).  I took a couples breaks because I kept "running" into people.  I first stopped to talk to Mr. & Mrs. Anders for a few minutes.  I saw another couple while running and the man said "Nice stride!,  Seriously!"  It made me feel pretty good.  I passed theses people 2 other times and by the last time, I felt like we were friends.  The last words of encouragement  - "You are the Energizer Bunny."  I also stopped once at home to go to the bathroom and measure a space for a new bathroom.  I love and appreciate every sunny Spring day!

1 mile warm up.  400, 600, 800, 600, 400 with 200 recovery X 2.  I had to go to the bathroom before the 800 in the second set.  My next two splits were a little slower.  Overall a great workout.  I liked the variety of this ladder.

I didn't get my run in.  I wore my running shoes, running clothes, and tank all day.  I finally had to shower before scouts.  At least I intended on running today.  argh!!

nice and easy run this morning.  I don't know any of my stats because my new watch isn't sinking with Garmin Connect.  

It's been a crazy week!  End of school stuff.  Still 2 more weeks of school.  When days are busy, I can't hesistate when it comes to running because then I miss my window and can't get it back. Hopefully I can plan better next week.
