| I was able to run at the gym this morning, which was pretty decent considering how the past week has gone. I felt pretty good and was able to get back to my normal pace. |

| I decided to enjoy the weather and run outside. It was slow, but decent. I felt alright completing my mileage. It was nice knowing that I did not have to get 10 in today as I can finally do my long run next Saturday. |

| I had a lousy run today. My legs were so tired. I definitely did my share of walking, especially up the hills. I did everything I could to get through it. My guess is that the fatigue is due to the constant pacing that I had to do since our standardized testing began at school today. |

| I was back at the gym this morning. My legs felt better than they did yesterday afternoon, but I was still tired. The first four miles were slower than normal. By mile 5, I was finally able to get up to a 10:00 minute mile. For mile 6, I pushed the pace up every .2 of a mile so that I could get done, since I was running a tad late (no pun intended). |

| I ran with my track and field kids this afternoon. My goal was to motivate the slower kids around a .8 mile route around the local high school. It felt good to be out there. I needed it. |

| I ran at the gym this morning. It was a bit of a rough morning due a work related issue. I got through my run without any issues, which was a good thing. I needed it, big time. |

| I finally had the opportunity to run with my friends again. It was so nice to see them again. I had a lot of venting to do and so did my main running buddy. It was a much needed run for both of us.

| Today's run was fairly awful. It was nice out, although a tad warm, believe it or not. I knew that I was in trouble when I started taking walk breaks during the first mile. I did make it through 7 miles, but chose not to look at my final time. |

| Due to a track meet after school, I chose to run in the morning. I felt alright, although my run did start out a tad slow. I got through it of course and was happy to be done. |

| I was back at the gym this morning. Even with the sleep deprivation, my run went alright. I felt decent, but did take a quick walk break every mile. |

| My plan was to run 6 miles this morning, but I felt as though I needed the time at home to make sure that I was ready for work and especially my trip to New York to see my family. I decided to cap today's effort at 5 miles so that I would relieve some stress. Everything went better than expected considering the lousy night's sleep and the congestion that I had. |

| After an exhausting day yesterday, which was a combination of work and travel, I had to get up by 7:20 so that my parent's cleaning ladies could get started on the house. I ran out in cold and blah weather. Fortunately, the running was better than the weather. I felt decent considering the fact that I was feeling a bit sick yesterday. I have also been quite congested. Needless to say, the cold air took care of that issue. I wasn't the prettiest site out there, but I did run farther than I anticipated. |

| After a nice, but exhausting day yesterday, I slept in this morning, before going for my run. It was definitely nicer out than it was yesterday. There was a bit more traffic as I expected, but it wasn't bad at all. Since I went to bed so early, I was able to get the same 8:00 am start as I did yesterday. The bed that I sleep in at my parent's house is quite comfy. |

| I was back out running by my parents house this morning. I was out there later than i have been the past couple of days. It was colder than I anticipated, but once I got out there, I was fine. I felt pretty good, even though my time was still slow. Today is also my first day of spring break. It was so nice to sleep in this morning. |

| Talk about a lousy run. My legs were like jello and I had a mild headache. This run took slow to a whole new level. I capped it at 5 1/2 only because I had an appointment to get to. I should have easily completed 6 - 7 miles this morning. I will try again tomorrow and hope that it will be a better morning for a run. |

| My run today was better than it was yesterday. It wasn't much faster, but it was better and I am trying to be positive. I also completed my minimum goal, which was to complete 6 miles. Mission accomplished! |

| This run was better than the one the day before. I am hopefully improving again. My mind was a bit clearer this morning. I didn't feel the anger and sadness regarding work as I have the past couple of days. I stopped when I did since my husband and I are on our way out of town late this morning. |

| It was once again nice to run after having a good, long night's sleep. The only negative is that it was quite warm by the time I made it out for my run. When I ran past the bank sign at just shy of my 3 mile mark it was already 84 degrees. I will say that this was the best that I had felt in days. I ran the "other" course that I run, although I had not run this one in quite a while and needed to. This run is harder aka hillier and was much needed. My time wasn't completely embarrassing as it has been. I stopped at 6 just because it was quite toasty out. |

| I was back to work today and slept in so that I could get some work done. In doing so, I chose to run after work. I was out of there on time and was able to get home and get out the door fairly quickly. It was warm out, but fortunately, there was cloud cover and a bit of a breeze. My legs were tired, therefore my pace once again, was slow. My legs were close to feeling like dead weight, but I did complete my run, which in my mind is always a step in the right direction. |

| I was back at the gym this morning after about a week and a half away from it. It was good for me to go as running on the treadmill will force me to pick the pace up. I was definitely slower than i have been on the treadmill, but ran faster than I have been outside. It definitely took me a while to get up to my 10:00 minute/ mile pace, but I did get there. |

I was back at the gym this morning after a couple of day's rest from running. My legs felt better, which was good. I was able to run faster than I have been outside, which was also a positive.

| I was able to run with my friends this morning. It was nice and cool outside, with temperatures in the low 50's when we began. I was able to run 7.75 with my friend, who needed to stop at that point. I decided to continue on and run an additional 2.25 so that I could hit 10 miles. It was a nice, relaxing run. No worries about time or pace. When my run was over, I felt really good. |
