| It was another cold Saturday morning. I met up with my running buddy for a nice, casual long run. We are assuming that we got about 9 miles in as not one, but both of our watches stopped working while we were out there. I have recognized that it is time for me to purchase a new running watch. Happy Saturday!

| It was so nice to sleep in this morning. I had th opportunity to try out my new running watch this morning. I finally broke down and bought one, since the battery in my previous one was on its way out. I decided to go beyond my normal 6 since I had the time and energy and was able to get 8 in and feel really good. So far, I am digging the watch since my overall average pace was about a 10:00 minute mile. My first two miles were over 10, but the last 6 were under, which I was very happy about. The weather was at least in the mid-40's which felt mild in comparison to what it has been. This run was a really nice way to start the day.

| I was up early to head to the gym and fortunately it didn't feel that bad. I felt good throughout my run.

| My plan was to run after work today so that I didn't have to get up early in the morning. Fortunately, I was able to leave work a little after 4:00 and get home to change, walk the dogs and run before the sun went down. My legs felt a bit heavy at first, but once I got going I felt fine.

| My friend was out of town, so I chose to get an extra hour of sleep and then run from my home. I was able to get out the door as the sun was coming up. I put on my music and had a really nice run, finishing in just over 1:43. I ran my new hilly run and felt good the entire time.

| Once we got up and walked the dogs, I was finally able to get out the door. It was a bit of a struggle, but I promised myself that I would run at least 6 miles. I was happy that I was able to push myself to 7 miles.

| I was back to the gym early this morning. It felt way too early when I got up, but once I got myself going I was alright. My run felt fine and I was able to maintain my typical pace.

| Due to the inclement weather, I was off from school and was able to sleep in and get to the gym before the weather worsened. I was going to run outside, but the rain started getting heavier. Thankfully, their was no ice on the road. I felt good during the entire run and added just a bit more incline than normal.

| Today was my first run since Stormapolocolypse 2014 hit. What a crazy week ass we had freezing rain, sleet, snow and then an earthquake to top of the week. Fortunately, I got a lot of rest as school was closed most of the week, we never lost power and the earthquake was listed as a 4.1 and just freaked people out a bit. It was cold, upper 30's, but not bad. I ran with my running buddy, which was nice. I ran about 7 with her and then completed the last two on my own. Only downside was that the pace was slow. Happy Saturday.

| After a decent night's sleep and a walking of the dogs, I finally got myself on the road for my morning run. I felt fine, but my pace was slow. I ran my typical run from my house, which is a bit hilly at times during the first couple of miles. This was one of those mornings where I remind myself that at least I got out there.

| I ran a double today so that I can sleep in tomorrow. I ran my morning 6 at the gym. I definitely felt tired when I got up, but fortunately woke up soon after that and was ready to run. I ran my second 6 from home, making sure that I left work on time. My legs felt tired at first, but did alright once I got in a couple of miles.

| I managed to leave work a little after 4:30 and got myself home for an afternoon run so that I would not have to get up early Thursday morning. My legs were a bit tired at first, but once I got into a groove, I felt fine.

| It was a bit cool this morning in comparison to the past few days. I met my running buddy, but while out there, tripped and fell during mile 3. I scraped both knees and bruised my leg. I could feel each scrape and bruise for the duration of our run and chose to walk mile 10.

| I slept in, walked the dogs and then went for my run. My pace wasn't so great as I could feel the bruise that I received during my run yesterday. I am happy that I was able to get over 6 miles in.

| I chose to run early and outside this morning. I am very stressed about work these days and made myself get up and run for my sanity and did so outside because I needed to get to work. It was slow, but this workout is a bit hilly as I run near our home. I was glad that I completed my goal when I was done.

| I got myself up this morning and went to the gym. I felt pretty good for not getting much sleep. Outside of the huge bruise on my leg, which I really felt during the 1st mile, I felt good.
