I felt pretty good this morning as I got up and went to the gym.  When I first started running, I didn't feel as good as I was hoping to, but I did eventually get into a good groove and finished in under an hour.

I finally hit 35 miles in a week for the first time in over 6 months.  It was supposed to rain this morning but held off.  I was actually overdressed.  It wound up being a beautiful morning.  I ran 6.4 miles with my running buddy and then ran the last 4.6 on my own, deciding at the last minute to add the additional mile.  It was a great way to start the day.

It was nice to get up and get out the door early this morning.  The weather was nice and cool.  I wasn't breaking and speed records, but I felt alright.

I was back to the gym this morning feeling a bit tired, but not bad.  It took a good 2 - 3 miles for me to get in a good groove.   I was able to finish in just under 59 minutes.

I was back at the gym this morning.  I was tired, but felt alright after the first couple of miles and finished around 59 minutes.

Once again, it was another blah Saturday morning weather-wise.  I ran 6 + miles with my friend, we then walked a couple more as she was wiped out.  I then completed the final 2.8 on my own to complete 11 miles for the day and 35 for the week.

After having a really long Sunday and somewhat normal Monday, I was finally able to get up and run this morning.  My original plan was 6 miles, but due to time and my state of exhaustion, I finished with 5 and was alright with it.  I ran outside with the sun coming up.  The weather was perfect.  This was a nice way to start my last day of school (post-planning).

I decided to run outside as the weather was so nice this morning.  I thought that I would have to cut this run short due to time, but it worked out fine as I was able to complete 6 miles.

It was a nice cool morning.  I was on my own and decided to allow my music to keep me company.  I didn't run at the pace I would have liked as my legs felt a bit tired, but I did alright. I felt pretty good when I was done.

It was so nice sleeping in this morning.  The air was still nice as I went out for my run.  My legs felt a bit tired, but not too bad.

After sleeping in, I went to the gym with my husband.  My original plan was 6 miles, but had to cut it to 5 since my spouse was my ride.

With daylight starting earlier, I decided to run outside this morning.  My time wasn't good, but it was a nice way to start the day.

My plan was to run 6 miles this morning.  Unfortunately, I messed up my alarm, woke up late, and was only able to get 5.1 miles in.  Then, due to a not so great day, I decided to run an additional 3 miles this afternoon in 80+ temperatures.  On a positive note, my pace per mile was much better this afternoon, even with the heat.  My unintentional double worked out alright.
