  • 1 hour cardio DVD at home
  • 2.2 mile run outside in the sun (3 mins running/1 min walking)

It didn't take long for me to learn that I have to save my running for last otherwise it's all I will do because it's what I like the best!  Like feeding a baby the veggies before the fruit, you know?

Wow do I have a long way to go to get back to where I was in December.  **Don't think about that - don't think about that - don't think about that**

  • First time in 2 months that I don't have to go to school or work at some point during a 24 hour period (and yes, that has included all weekends and holidays)
  • Already have my 3 twelve hr shifts done for the week
  • Homework is almost done for the day
  • Just got back from a 3.3 mile zoo loop run that felt excellent (avg pace 10:25/mile; walked for 1 min every 4 mins and also walked the steepest parts of 3 hills)

  • 2 mile run outside, walked about every 4 minutes, 10:32 avg pace

The first thing I do when I wake up is flex my left foot to see if there's tightness in my achilles.  (In fact, I've had a couple dreams where I feel tightness and pain and I wake up feeling sad until I realize that there is indeed...no tightness. :) ).  Anyway, not a stitch this morning, so I went for an easy 2 mile jog today.  It gave me a little lip around 2 miles, so I walked the last mile home.  It's understandable considering I did a lot yesterday, so I'm not worried.  I'll rest it tomorrow and then do 2-3 on Saturday.  I'm in a awkward phase right now because I don't want to do much x-training, but I'm not running a lot either.  It seems like the x-training loads it too much and I want to just see what it does with running.  It feels so good to get out there and run!!

  • 10 miles on the elliptical (tempo 2 miles/slow 1 mile X 3)
  • 3 miles running on the TM (walking every 5 minutes)

I changed my mind, I wanted to do some cross training today. =0)  Achilles feels great!  A little niggley, but feels fine after stretching.
