I tried to do a tempo on the treadmill.  There is no cheating with a treadmill unless you jump to the side.  (I jumped to the side 3x b/c I felt the peanut butter starting to come up).  I'm not use to the treadmill but I'll give it another chance.

Can you believe I did 17 miles on a TREADMILL!!?  I didn't think it was possible.  It's amazing what you can do when you have no choice...weather, no running partner, bla, bla, bla.

I averaged 9 min pace for the first few miles.  i ran 1 mile up hill (7.0) at 10 min. pace.  I then ran at 8:30 pace.  I pushed it a little at the end 8:00 pace for a couple of miles.  Then my friend called to say they would be at our home in a few hours.  So I finished the last couple miles at 7:30 pace so I could get home faster to clean my house!

 Will I ever have time for stretching and strength training?

3.5 mile warm up outside.

10x800m on the treadmill at 3:20 (9.0).  

This was more mentally challenging for me than physically challenging.  Does anyone know any mind games to trick myself on how far I am actually running?

50:24. pace ave: 8:23.  Ran with Suz's Garmin for the first time.  It kept beeping at me.  I need to figure this watch out.  Thinking about the watch kept my mind off of running. :)

I LOVE TAPPERING!

I think I may have been a little too easy on myself today.  2 mile warm up.  6x400m hill repeats.  I cut 3 of the repeats short to 200m.  I didn't time my splits either. Oh well, it was GORGEOUS OUT and I could smell the fresh donuts from the cider mill!

ave pace 8:12 (I think.  The watch wasn't charged).  

 Today's "Preschool on the Go" was to the Lighthouse park.  I love including some of my favorite people in my workouts!

This was the first run I felt sick!  I was supposed to run 12 miles, but cut it short b/c I was so nauseated.  I came in for a bathroom break and never went back out to finish.  This was the first time I've felt this way the entire season.  Hopefully, I will be back to normal on Monday.

Ave pace: 9:09

Pushed the stroller (pace ave 11:00) after library class.  Preschool On The Go makes me really happy.  We ran through Cranbrook (AKA Hogwarts), up hills, through construction zones, saw animals, and trees.  This real world exposure is better than Montessori for the little ones and I get to run at the same time!

I felt a little rusty and sore today after pushing the strollers two days ago.  Pace Ave. 7:53 - a little slow for a tempo run.

I'm calling this 4 even though it was 2.29 miles to the cider mill where we took a nice long break and ate donuts and drank cider.  Then ran 2 miles back with a few other quick stops to fix the stroller and give the toddlers more snacks.  Aubree did most of the pushing.  Thanks Aub!
