| I was back at the gym this morning. I took up the incline just a bit for either a mile or two (I can't remember how long) to get my legs ready for the 5k this Saturday. I felt fine during the whole thing. |

| I felt pretty good considering the lack of sleep. I was able to maintain my regular pace. I will say that my legs did feel a bit tired when I was done. |

| I don't know what the real breakdown was, but I can tell you that this was a hilly 5K. My legs were definitely tired. I ran the first mile in 8:00, mile 2 in 8:25 and finished the last 1 + in 10:07. I will say that my Garmin watch had a final distance of 3.26. A friend of mine said that her watch also recorded the same distance. I finished in the top 30%. I was fine with the results and surprised by the 1st place finish.

| Even though my legs were sore, I pushed myself out the door so that my schedule for the week wouldn't be thrown off. I took it slow and tried to avoid some of the hillier spots. |

| Even though I was running on 5 hours of sleep, I felt good. It probably had something to do with my Giants winning the Super Bowl last night (GO G-MEN!). SportsCenter was great. |

| I was definitely starting to feel the fatigue today. I thought for a short while that I would need to cut back to 5 miles, but I was able to get my 6 in. |

| It was nice running with friends again after running the 5K last weekend. It was one of those days where the temperature was actually slowly dropping throughout, therefore I was happy we ran when we did. We ran the first 10 miles and walked the last mile. |

| There is nothing like running after a full night's sleep. Once we walked the dogs, I was able to hit the streets. It was quite cold, with temperatures were in the 20's. I put on my music and just tried to enjoy myself. I was very happy that I felt good enough to hit 8 miles.

| Since we are furloughed from work today, I was able to sleep in and then go for my run. It was quite cold out, but thankfully, it did warm up a tad as I was running. It was sunny out and I just enjoyed the run with some music. My minimum goal was six miles, so I am happy that I felt good enough to run the extra 1.2 miles.

| After a lack of sleep, but run at the gym wasn't too bad. I felt fine when I started, but mentally, I wasn't sure if I would get through all 6 miles. Fortunately, I toughed it out and finished strong. |

| My regular running buddy couldn't join me this morning, so I ran with some of the others. At times I was able to maintain thier pace, but I did fall behind on occasion. I believe that I was under a 10 minute mile for the majority of our run. |

| It was a wet run this morning, with temps around 50 degrees. I was able to get out the door by 7:45, mainly because I couldn't sleep (a lot is going at work). I decided just to get up, eat and go. It rained on me the entire team. It was misty when I started, but turned into showers on multiple occasions. Overall, I didn't mind it. I was glad that I finished when I did, because I was really starting to feel my wet clothes. |

| I felt a bit sleepier than I normally do for a Monday. I was at the gym as I usually am on Monday when I am working. I was able to complete my goal of 6 miles. |

| I was back at the gym this morning and felt wiped out. I worked until about 10:00 pm after being at work until 6:00pm. I also didn't eat the proper mix of vegetables and carbohydrates that led to G.I. issues. I was happy to make it through my six miles. |

| I felt better today than I did yesterday. This made my run much easier. I was able to pick up the pace as I normally do, but ran even faster for the last mile. |

| I was back running with my friend this morning. It was so nice to be able to talk/ vent for the duration. Our pace was a bit slower than normal, but I was happy to get the distance in. I can always run faster on the other days. This is the only day that I get to run with friends.

| With my mother-in-law coming into town for a visit, I was short on time this morning. I made it back just in time for a shower and to get dressed before her arrival. I felt fine after my 10 miles the previous day.

| I didn't feel too tired this morning, which is always good. I was able to run my 6 on the treadmill and even took it up for that last mile, getting down to an 8:30 pace for a brief time. |
