My first tempo run.  I was pleasantly surprised - I ran my middle fast miles at a 7:37 pace!  Got to cut that down some more and increase the distance though!

Ran with new running clothes! Score!

Today is my running day with my jogging buddy.  She runs a little slower than me, but for long days... who cares?

62:01 = 8:09 pace

First off, I was so excited about running this morning that I couldn't sleep last night.  I decided to go to Forest Park and run the big circuit, by myself, before class.  This is a first for all three of those things with a longer run.  Got to the park at 6:40AM and it was light outside!!! LOVING THE TIME CHANGE! :)

This was my first longer run by myself.  I definitely was missing a running partner at about mile 4.5.  Had trouble staying on pace - crossed 4 miles at a 7:30 pace and I was aiming for 8.  Probably why I started hurting after the 4 mile mark...  Pace was also hurt by my "passer" mentality this morning... I kept having the urge to catch up to and pass every person ahead of me (and i did... probably not the best idea for a longer run). 

Slowed it down on the second half.  Really wanted to hold about a 7:50-8:00 pace for the whole thing, so kind of disappointed that the second half was so much slower. 

But. I finished. Did not stop. Ran faster than previous long runs.  All pluses.

 Hills tomorrow - so got to eat right and sleep tonight!

Hill workout

1/2 mile hill at about a 5% incline the first 400m and 10% incline the last 400m (yep it was awful! lol). Made a circuit out of it with a .6 mile cool down in between each hill.  4 repeats.  Wanted to do 5 but ran out of time this morning - have Evidence at 9!  Hopefully I can do 6 or 7 repeats next time!

 2nd workout today - easy 3 with Anya and my husband

Didn't get to run today. Major sad face.  I stayed up doing homework till midnight last night, so running this morning wasn't really an option.  But today was a recovery day anyways.  Tomorrow I have a tempo run! Getting motivated now!

5k run/walk as running buddy volunteer for Girls on the Run.  Not counting that in my weekly mileage, but had to burn a few calories!

3.5 mile recovery run with Anya.  She was a little rowdy today, had to stop 3 times for disciplinary reasons... she still has a lot of puppy in her.  Dropped 25 degrees from yesterday here in the Lou.  I think yesterday was my last shorts and sports bra running day for a long while. :( man do i love summer. 

time - 30:41 - not bad for stopping 3 times.

on a side note, saw minneapolis was suppose to get some serious snow today... probably moving up there after law school (going up there this summer for sure)... How does a runner survive when it snows so much??

recovery run with anya. 8:00 avg pace Anya did awesome until mile 3.  She definitely struggled with mile 4.  It was a pretty fast pace for her, which is too bad b/c i was ready to really kick the last mile!

But a tired dog is a happy dog.
