| I woke up feeling pretty good this morning. By the time I actually got up, I realized that it was wet and cold outside and would take myself to the gym. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, I wasn't feeling as great as when I first woke up. I got in 4 miles and was happy about it. I allowed myself to take a walk break about every 1/2 a mile. Once again, I am just happy to be back running that I don't mind any walk breaks that I feel are necessary. |

| I started out running this morning, but unfortunately, had some unexpected pain/ cramping. By the time I finished my 2nd mile, I knew that I was better off just walking. I finished under an hour, which was fine considering. |

| It was cold this morning with temperatures in the mid-20's. I ran with my friend and her daughter for the first 4 miles (her 18 year old daughter kept me going during miles 3 and 4). After they left, I grabbed my music and went back the same way (forgot my watch at home so I wanted to go where I knew the mileage). I felt a bit tired and realized that it may have had something to do with the first 4 miles. I have been taking walk breaks during each mile for the last week, and didn't do so to start. I made up for it while I was on my own, but overall, did run the majority of the time. |

Unfortunately, I was not too pumped to get outside today and run (it took me too long to get out the door). Thankfully, I got myself out there and got moving. I was able to run most of the first 4 miles, but definitely did my share of walking during the last mile. My goal this morning was 5 miles and I completed it. I am not going to worry about time until my health is completely back to normal. I am just happy to be running. |

| I decided to head over to the gym this morning since it was early, dark and cold. I felt pretty good. I did opt to walk after each mile to allow myself to catch my breath. |

| I went over to the gym this morning for my run. I was able to pick up the pace just a tad and only dropped down to a walk at each mile. I found that I didn't rest for nearly as long as I have been. |

| Some milder weather swept in which allowed us to run in shorts this morning. It felt a bit weird as I am used to being in layers this time of year. My friend and I were both feeling a bit sluggish this morning. We ran most of the distance, but did do some walking at times. This is always a great way to start the day. |

| It is so nice to be able to get a full night's sleep and then run. I am still better off running as soon as I wake up, but realized that my time was best spent staying in with my husband. By the time we got up and walked the dogs, I was finally out the door. It took a bit to get going, but I did alright. For the first time in quite a while, I hit 6 miles on a Sunday. |

| For the first time in quite a while, I ran 5 miles at the gym prior to work. I reminded myself that I really did have the time to complete my run (even though I am definitely running slower than I used to) and still get home, shower, dry the hair and go. I felt good, although I did allow myself to take a short walk break after each mile. |

| I was back at the gym this morning, but chose to only run 4 miles as I had a lot to do at work today. It went fine. |

I got up this morning as I usually do on Saturday to run with my friends. After last weeks unusually warm temperatures it was back to freezing again. I ran the first 6 1/4 miles with my friend and then the last 1 3/4 on my own as she had to leave. The run was on the slower side, but that was fine. I am still happy just to be out there and moving. |

| After getting a full nights sleep, I was able to get myself out the door for my morning run. It wound up being a beautiful morning for a run. It was cold, but not where I felt the need for the earband and the gloves, although the nose was definitely running with me. I didn't push myself as my goal was just to complete at least 6 miles and run the majority of it, which I did. |

| I had the opportunity to sleep in today due to MLK Day. That allowed me to get 6 miles in outside. My pace is still slow, but I did run a bit faster than I did yesterday, even running up some of the hills. |

| I got up early and went to the gym for my morning run. I made sure that I got at least 5 miles in. It was a bit slow-mving for the first couple of miles, but I eventually got into a groove. |

After attending my friend's daughter's wedding, I decided to sleep in a bit later and then go for my run. It was a smart idea. I was still tired when I got up, but I was able to go about my routine and was running as the sun came up. I never had to run alone in the dark and just enjoyed my music. I ran the majority of the time and had one of my better runs since I had to take off. |

| I went over to the gym this morning for my morning run. I felt tired at first, but wound up feeling pretty comfortable on the treadmill. I was able to finally pick up the pace a bit and felt as though I made some progress. |
