Will and I were back at the indoor track. There were thunder storms all morning. Will cried the last five laps. He kept saying, "Water! Please! Please! Water!" We had already stopped at the drinking fountain three times. (I forgot to bring his water.) And the last stop was with six laps to go. I sang a couple songs, but that didn't distract him at all. Neither one of us enjoyed those last five laps. Finally, we were done and I headed straight for the drinking fountain. After I unbuckled him, he headed for the stairs! He didn't want water. He was looking for a way to get out of the jogging stroller.
I did the six strides again. | | Add Comment |

| I ran slow and easy pace the whole time. It was enjoyable, but the last mile felt very long. | | Add Comment |

| Will and I ran to and through the park today. We saw seven dogs, four bicycles, and lots of walkers and runners. My right hip bothered me a bit today, but for most of my runs it's been feeling great. | | Add Comment |

Will and I took on the hilly Camp Cardinal Route. We paused to look a couple stakes that were spray painted pink and crossed to look like a "x". After I pointed it out, Will said "y". So the rest of the run we said, "X, Y, Z!!!" Will mostly said "x" and "z". I would slip in the "y".

My two mile warm up felt fine, even kind of quick. But, my tempo run started so slow. Here are the splits.
8:36--I felt so slow and felt that I couldn't go any faster. I told myself it was okay. During recent training, I had some miles under my pace range (8:00 to 8:30). So I told myself it was probably normal to have some miles over the range.
However, I got slower.
almost 9:00--I wanted to turn off my watch. But, somehow I talked myself into keeping my feet moving.
I felt tight in my shoulders. I tried to relax and forget about my watch. And it worked.
8:10 ish--My quarters were closer to two minutes.
8:06 ish
I don't remember what my last split was and I don't want to figure it out. (I want to go to bed.) Total time for the five mile tempo run was 42:12. I was very pleased that I kept with it and that I was able to relax and run normal. | | Comments(1) |

| I ran with my friend, Erin, for the first time. I ran to her house, we are three miles together, and then I ran home. Our pace was perfect for me and it seemed perfect for her, too. We want to run together every Saturday, but next Saturday is my race. So in two weeks, we'll run again and Erin said she'd like to try 4 miles. | | Comments(1) |
