| After a good nights' sleep and the walking of the dogs, I made my way to the gym. It was a bit rough getting started, but once I got going, I was good to go. As usual, now that it is warm outside, the gym is warm inside.

| I ran from home this morning so that I could get an early start before my mother-in-law came in to town. Unfortunately, my legs were so sore from a class that I took on Thursday. My understanding was that the class was to focus on the upper body and core. I knew something wasn't right as the first part had me doing a bunch of squats and lunges. It is not that I minded the workout itself, but I didn't want sore legs, which is what I got. I also ended up with the chafed arm as I did not put enough body glide on my arm from my armband.

| This run was ugly. My legs felt so heavy and still sore. I just told myself to walk when necessary and not stress over it, which helped me get through the run. I left the music at home.

| Instead of going to the gym, I chose to run outside. On a positive note, this run was better than the one I had yesterday and the soreness is finally gone. The downside, I was still quite slow. This is where going to the gym would have been beneficial.

| WALKING MILES. I was able to get a nice walk in this morning. It felt good to give my legs a break from the pounding of running.

| I ran at the gym this morning as I knew this would provide a better workout than running from home. Once I got into a groove, I was fine, although the gym was toasty.

| WALKING MILES. I went walking this morning to get moving, yet not pound the legs as much. I originally planned to walk 4 miles, but wound up completing 5, which was nice.

| I had a decent run from our home this morning. I was able to get out the door just after the sun came up and felt alright as I enjoyed my music.

| I felt alright this morning as I ran from home. It was humid and went sans the music. I was still slower than I would have liked, but felt pretty good considering.

| I had to get up early this morning to run as I actually have to work (I will be doing the same thing, Wednesday and Thursday as well). I ran from home so that I could start early and get to work by 7:30am.

| WALKING MILES! I was able to get a 4 1/2 mile walk in this morning before running my numerous errands. I was a bit tired, although it was nice to walk instead of run today as my legs were tired.

| I was tired this morning as I went out for my run. I chose to run from home so that I could sleep in an extra 25 minutes. It was slow, but felt alright. I ran today instead of Saturday as I am traveling out of town that morning to see family.

| This was my first run since arriving in NY yesterday. The air felt a bit cooler than at home, although I still felt as sluggish as I normally do for a Sunday run (I am assuming this had to do with the sweets I had last night). After a couple of miles, I was able to get into a good groove. I had my music with me to keep me company.

| Today, I enjoyed my second of two runs while visiting my family. Today's run was sans music, but definitely felt stronger than yesterday. I think that the air may have been a tad cooler. There was defiintely more traffic on the road than yesterday, which was to be expected.

| Today was my first run since returning from NY. It was definitely warmer than I had been enjoying the past few days, but it was to be expected. The heat didn't actually bother me too much, as my mind was racing all on its own.

| I ran 8.5 miles, before walking 5.15 with a friend of mine. The miles were not pretty as I just mentally was not with it this morning. I did complete the distance and then had a nice walk with my friend.

| I didn't get out the door until 9:00am, which meant it was warm out. Mentally, my mind is still elsewhere, but I did perservere. The first few miles were not pretty, but I did feel a bit stronger the 2nd half of the run. I ran without music today, just me and my thoughts.

| My original plan was to run at the gym, but I chose to run outside instead as the skies were somewhat overcast. Unfortunately, after about 30 minutes, the sun burned off the clouds, making feel quite warm. Thankfully, there was a bit of a breeze, which helped. The run itself was okay, starting out slowly and picking up the pace the last few miles.

| I decided to run outside when I probably should have gone to the gym. The temperature didn't feel that bad, but the sun warmed things up very quickly. I brought my music with me to keep me company, which helped, althought the last mile was a bit rough. I am wondering if I was a bit dehydrated as I feel better now that I have had a bit of food and water.
