| I had a decent run from home this morning. It was cool, but not cold out, therefore it was comfortable. I brought my music with me and just let the miles pass by. I felt fine, but moved a bit slower than I wanted to for today. I still felt good when I was done.

| Things did not start out as smoothly as I planned as my watch disconnected at some point and had a very low battery. Fortunately, the Nike GPS on my iPod worked in its place. My run felt a tad slow, although it was quite nice out. I guess I was a bit sluggish, not counting the times I was running into the wind. I didn't think I would make it to 10 as I was getting tired. Then my iPod's battery decided to hit a low point. I managed to push through and make it to 10 miles, prior to my iPod ceasing on me.

| I ran a double today, completing the first 6 miles this morning at the gym and the final five near our home. I was tired this morning, but was able to get moving after a couple of miles. This afternoon's run was pretty good, although I had watch problems right from the start. I ran a course that I knew wass at least 5 miles.

| I was back at the gym this morning for my run. I was tired, but after the first mile or so, I was able to get into a decent groove.

| I ran this afternoon after work since I will be working at our school's 5k this Saturday and won't be able to run beforehand. I was tired and it was warm out, but I made it through. The pace was slower than I would have liked, but I was able to step it up by the end.

| I was able to get in my 10 miles after not knowing if I'd make it past 8 +, therefore, I was so happy to get my 10 completed. I was a little tired, but finally got into a groove after about the first 4-5 miles.

| I ran a double today, 5 miles at the gym this morning and 5 more this afternoon from home.
My run on the treadmill was a bit different as the tv signal wasn't working. Instead, I listened to music through my iPod and ran through New Zealand via the courses on the treadmill. It wasn't a bad change of scenery.
I thought that my second run would leave me soaked , but I lucked out, only being rained on just a bit. Even though I do not know my official pace, I can tell you that it was slow.

| I was able to get up this morning and feel alright even though I did not got enough sleep. My plan was to run 5 miles, but added one more so that I could catch something on SportsCenter. I also felt a bit shlubby after eating out last night (it was really good, though).

| I was finally able to join my running buddy this morning. We ran the first 8 + miles together and then I finished the final 1+ on my own. It was very mild out and fortunately we finished before the rain started up again.

| Due to the chance of heavy rains this morning, I chose to go to the gym after sleeping in and walking my dogs. I was concerned about this run as running 10 miles at the gym can feel very long. Fortunately, it went quite well as I ran the first 6 in just under an hour and the final 4.1 in just over 38 minutes.

| I ran a double today, completing 6.1 miles this morning at the gym and 5 miles this afternoon from home. My run this morning was alright, a little tired at first, but then got into a groove. My run this afternoon was a bit sluggish as my legs were tired. I was also trying to avoid a rain storm that was coming our way. I felt a few sprinkles at the end, but other than that, I stayed fairly dry.

| Since it was pouring when I initially planned on getting up, I slept in and wound up going to the gym. I don't love doing a long run on the treadmill, but I have gotten used to it and didn't mind it so much yesterday. My average pace for the first 6 miles was 9:56/ mile, while my pace for the final four was 9:34/ mile. Not too shabby for me and a great way to start the weekend.

| After sleeping in again, I woke up to some beautiful, mild weather. I walked my dogs, ate and went for my run. My legs were a bit tired, but once I got into a groove I felt alright as my music kept me company. My pace was much slower than yesterday as I finished with an average pace of 10:53/ mile.

| I ran my typical double today, completing 5.1 this morning at the gym and the other 5 after work from home. The am run went fairly welll, but the afternoon run was not so pretty as the legs were quite tired.

| I went to the gym this morning to knock out my 5 miles. I was a bit slow moving for awhile as I was tired, but after a good couple of miles I was able to feel comfortable.
