| Tread and Shed class at the gym. First 2.1 miles were on the treadmill. I was able to get up to a 7:57 min/ mile when at top speed. We took it outside for 1.4 miles with two laps that included a couple of hills, and ending each lap with a sprint. We finished the workout with a couple of sprints. My husband and I then went on a 5-6 mile hike. According to the brochure for the park, we were supposed to see deer swim, but that didn't quite happen.

| Once again, I took this run to the streets. The first 2 miles have about 4-5 good hills. I am finally getting used to them, therefore I am not huffing and puffing as much. It was a nice run although it did get a tad hot by the end. |

| This was a pretty good 10 mile run. I was able to complete it in about 1 hour and 42 minutes, which is better than the last couple that I had done at the same pace. It was warm out. I really needed to begin earlier than the 7:30 start time that I had. Overall, no complaints. We actually completed a one-plus mile hike up Stone Mountain later that day. |

| Typical 6 mile run on the treadmill. Started off slowly for the first mile, then took it up to 9:30 minute miles for the next 2 miles. The next 1 1/2 miles were at a 9:22 min/ mile pace with the last one at a 9:05 min/ mile pace. |

| Interval workout on the treadmill. Started at 10:00 min/ mile and worked up to 7:57 min/ mile. I completed 4 (or 5) one minute intervals. |

| This was my typical Thursday morning 6 mile run. The first two miles are the hardest, since they contain most of the hills. I felt pretty good today, finishing my workout in just under an hour. |

| Ran approximately four miles this morning near my parents house in New York. It was essentially out and back to my old high school. It was a nice cool morning with temperatures in the 60's. |

| This was a nine mile run near my parent's house in New York. The weather was gorgeous; sunny and in the low 60's. The coolness in the air was awesome. It was a bit hilly, but it was not as challenging as it has been in the past since I am finally getting used to running hills. I completed my run in about an hour and a half. |

| This was my final run while visiting my family in N.Y. I was able to get approximately 6 miles in, with one of those miles on my old high school track. It was a nice, cool, crisp morning with the temperatures hovering around 60 degrees. I completed my run in an hour. |

| Tried out a new route today to mix things up a bit. It was a bit harder with a few hills towards the end. My goal was to complete 6 miles in under an hour, which I did (58:35) and wound up completing 6.5 miles in 1:02:43. |

| Hot! I wasn't able to start this run until after 11:00am, due to some things going on and boy was it toasty outside. There is a reason I have avoided running at this time. It was at least in the 80's with rarely any cloud cover. I was able to complete my run in just over an hour. My legs were also sore from a workout at the gym yesterday. |

| This was much better than yesterday. The air was actually a bit cool to start. I was able to get my initial goal of 10 miles in, in just under an 1:40, which I am very happy about. The first couple of miles are always a bit harder for me (there are a good at least four hills in this part), but I was able to settle in after that. |

| This was a fairly typical run on the treadmill. I started out with the first mile averaging just over a 10:00 minute mile. I ran miles two and three at a 9:30 min/ mile pace, then ran mile four at a 9:22, mile five at a 9:13 and then mile 6 at a 9:05 min/ mile pace. Everything feels good! |

| I decided to run four miles today after walking 3 miles with my two dogs and a friend of mine that was in from out of town. In the past, I have just done the walking part, but decided to add the four miles as a way of slowly adding additional running days and mileage. My run incorporated the first three miles of my normal 6 mile route, with the last mile essentially running home. It felt good to be out there and it gave me a chance to try out some new running gear. |

| This was my Tread and Shed class. It was a bit different than usual. We pretty much spent the majority of the time outside running the hills of the parking lot. I did run the first mile and a half on the treadmill (the first mile was on my own). The other 3 miles are approximate. |

| This was not one of my better runs. I had trouble during the first 2-3 miles. I was not having any physical problems, just mental. I have been a bit stressed and it unfortunately affected my run. I was able to finish better than I started. |

| I am still getting used to running on Friday's. Today's run was fine. When all was said and done, I averaged about 10 minute miles. I capped my run at 4.5 since I am running a 5K in the morning. I normally don't run the day prior to a race, so it will be interesting to see how my legs feel in the morning. |

| The course was a bit harder than I thought it would be. The last part of the race (just prior to the finish) was a steep hill. I have been training on hills since I moved here, which helped, but I was still breathing a bit harder than I would have liked to when I got to the top. I always try to finish strong, but was not able to move as quickly as I would have liked to. The course was fairly shady, which was nice. I set a PR, so needless to say, I was quite happy when I was done. |

| Since I am trying to build up my mileage, I kept this one pretty casual. I ran on the treadmill, warming up for a minute or two just over a 10:00 min/ mile pace, then settled in at 10:00 min/ mile pace for a couple of miles eventually moving up to a 9:30 min/ mile pace by the last mile. After my run, I joined the Group Power class as the gym, which is weightlifting utilizing a barbell as well as free weights. |

| I completed these four miles after walking my dogs for three miles. My legs and chest were sore from the previous days workout at the gym. Once I was warmed up, I felt pretty good. |

| This was my "Tread and Shed," at the gym. I ran about a half mile before the class officially started. We completed intervals on the treadmill for about a mile and a half and then took it outside for hills and more speed for 2 1/2 miles. Overall, a good, sweaty workout. |

| This run was alright. I was a bit slower than I would have liked to be, finishing in just over an hour and 6 minutes. I have yet to find a teaching job, so needless to say, my mind tends to be elsewhere these days. |
