| I wound up having a fairly good run this morning. I was on my own, starting a bit after 6:30. The weather was mild as I turned on the music and hit the pavement. I ran into the other members of the group just after the two mile mark. I felt good the whole time, finishing the first 10 miles in 1:43+. I was definitely content with my performance. Happy Saturday! |

| Since I went to bed at a decent hour, I was able to sleep in, walk the dogs and still get our for my run before 8:30. It was humid, but I felt alright. I was able to pick up the pace for the middle miles, but that was pretty much it. Not a great run, but I got out there and at least ran my minimum of 6 miles. |

| I was back at the gym for the first time in about a week. New treadmills were brought in since the last time I was there. They are really nice to run on. It took a little playing around to figure out how everything works. My run went well as I finished in about 58 1/2 minutes. |

I was so tired this morning after not getting enough sleep last night. We had friends that came into town and we didn't get to bed until late. My friend and I ran together for the first 6.4 miles, which was a combination of running and walking. I then covered the final 4 miles on my own with a little help from my music. The last few mile was interesting as I was dodging sorority girls on the sidewalk (sorority rush is wrapping up this weekend). Only the last two that I ran past had the decency to move over for me. I was very happy to get in the last few miles as my legs were tired for the first part. |

| After not getting enough sleep the night before, I made sure that I slept in this morning. The down side was that it was hot and humid by the time I started running. My run was not very good, although I did complete it. |

| I was so tired this morning, but I got myself up and went to the gym. I kicked out my typical workout on the new treadmill that I use, finishing the first 6 miles in about 58 1/2 minutes. Once I got going, I felt alright and woke up. |

| I was back at the gym this morning and decided to take up just a bit more. Rather than running the first two miles at a 10:00 min/ mile pace, I increased a level after the 1st mile. I finished the first 6 miles in just over 58 minutes. |

| I was back at the gym this morning after a day off from running. I didn't feel nearly as beat up as I did earlier in the week. I was able to maintain a decent pace the entire time and completed the first 6 miles in just over 58 minutes. |

| I met my friend this morning for our Saturday run. It was wet and cool, especially for this time of year. We ran the first 7.1 together and I finished the last 3.3 on my own. We lucked out as we didn't get rained on too much. Happy Saturday! |

| After getting up to let the dogs out, I couldn't fall asleep, therefore, I decided to get up and go for my run. I have noticed that my Sunday runs have been kind of blah and this one was right there with the others. I had no issues getting out the door as my husband and dogs were asleep. The weather was on the cool side and I was running alright, but it was just not a great run. I did finish and it was still a good way to start the day. |

| It is Monday and feels like it. I felt a bit beat this morning heading to the gym. It took a bit of a mental push to get me out the door and to the gym. I ran well once I was able to get going. |

| I was back at the gym this morning. I felt a bit better today than I did yesterday. Getting out the door and on the treadmill didn't take as long as it did yesterday. I ran well finishing the first 6 in a little over 58 minutes. |

| I ran in Richmond, VA this morning with my brother. He is preparing to run his first half in less than a couple of months. This was our first run together. We ran downtown, not really sure as to where we were going. Our original plan was for 6 miles, but we cut it back after going up and back more than a few streets, really having no idea as to where we were. The weather was comfortable and the company was great.

| It is Monday, which means I am running at the gym before heading off to work. I didn't feel nearly as bad as I thought that I would. I was tired, but able to get myself going fairly quickly. I was able to run the first 6 in 58 mimutes and then ran until until the treadmill changed to the cool down at an hour.

| I was back at the gym this morning for what I thought would be my regular six mile run. Unfortunately, I realized that I had forgotten to prepare something for work and of course, had a meeting this morning. Therefore, I needed to get there a bit earlier than planned to take care of this matter. I felt fine for the duration of the run.

| It was very humid this morning as I joined my group for our Saturday run. I ran the first 7.5 with my friend, and then ran the final 2.6 on my own. I was able to pick up the pace while I was on my own.
