| I had a really good run this morning, as today was our first Gameday run of the season. I joined my group, although my running buddy was not there. I was pretty much on my own after just a few minutes, but that was actually okay with me. I could run my own pace and not feel guilty that I was holding anyone back. I completed the last 2 + miles on campus, which is always kind of neat as all of the tailgaters drinking and hanging out at 8 in the morning. The sound of the marching band warming up was the icing on the cake. I finished the first 10 in 1:42, which I was very happy about. Go Dawgs! |

| It was so nice to sleep in this morning. The only downside was that by the time we got up and walked the dogs, it was already quite warm outside. I wound up going to the gym with my husband instead of running outside. I wouldn't say that I felt great, but it wasn't bad. The gym actually felt quite warm. I was able to increase my pace a bit earlier than usual and was able to complete 7, which I was happy about. |

| It was so nice to sleep in this morning. As soon as I woke up, I made myself get up so that I could go for my run while it was still somewhat mild out (it was humid, but not too hot). Unfortunately, my body didn't love the idea. My stomach still felt a tad full from the really good cookie I had last night and my legs felt tired. I mustered through, but needless to say, my time isn't worth documenting. |

| I was able to get up this morning (at 4:20am) fairly easily as I was able to sleep in yesterday. Outside of having to stop a couple of times to blow my nose, I felt alright. Always happy after I have completed a run. |

| I am glad that I got up this morning to run rather than taking care of it this afternoon. I felt tired while on the treadmill, not feeling somewhat strong until mile 5. As usual, I was happy to be finished. I will now take a day or two of rest. |

| I had a really good run this morning. My group was running twelve (although they (as in two of them) had already run a few before I had gotten there). My plan was for at least 10, but since I have just signed up for my next half, which is 6 weeks away, I figured it was time to add a bit more. I would up running a little over 11, which I was very happy about. I did feel a bit fatigued, which seemed about right as I haven't gone above 10 in awhile. I need to remember to start bringing a Clifblok with me for the next few weeks. I finished the first 11 in about 1:53. Once again, a nice way to start the weekend. |

Even though I was able to sleep in and the weather was beautiful, my run left little to be desired. I ran near our house, which is hillier than my typical Saturday run. I just move slower and take more walk breaks. Needless to say, I was happy when I finished, but the pace is not good. |

Even though it may not have been the smartest idea, I decided to run outside this morning. It was dark the entire time, but the weather has dropped a bit and it made the air feel wonderful. After running my first loop, I decided to adjust it a bit since one part of the road is just ridiculously dark. It wasn't fast or even close to what I wanted, but air felt great. |

I didn't feel so hot when I started and wound up having to cut my run short. I never regret going for a run, but I really hope tomorrow is a better day. |

| After a stressful evening (work-related) and the joy of cramps, I decided that I would get up this morning and enjoy the cool weather outside. Since it was dark, I kept to my neighborhood. My pace was slow, but it felt good to be outside in the fresh air. |

| After a long week, I met my running buddy at 6:30 for our Saturday run. It was a tad slow, but not too bad. The weather was also nice, with temps in the low 60's. I am happy with my 10 and am ready for the weekend. |

| It was nice to have a decent night's sleep and still be out the door by 8:30. I felt decent and had a good run from the standpoint that nothing hurt and that I didn't walk much. My pace was mixed from mile to mile, with my overall time once again, nothing to write home about. |

| I wound up having a really nice run this morning. It was in the low 60's, which felt really nice. I started with my group, but was pretty much on my own. I need to work up to at least 12-13 miles as I prepare for the half marathon that I am doing in a month. I started out a bit slow, and the knees felt a bit achy. Once I got to mile 3, I started feeling a bit stronger. I finished in 1:52+, which was a 9:56 pace. I completed mile 11 in 9:33. This was a great way to start the weekend. |

I decided to sleep in this morning as the sleep was much needed. Unfortunately, by the time we got up and walked the dogs and I got out the door, it was already after 10:30am. I missed the cool morning temperatures and mentally, I didn't feel like running anymore. Of course, I still got out there, which was a good thing. Time wasn't good as I just wanted to walk the hills that I encountered. I only ran a couple of miles at a decent pace. As usual though, I was happy that I completed my goal of 7 miles. |

| I decided to run outside this morning and take advantage of the cool weather (upper 40's). It was actually cold, but felt really good. My time was solw, but I felt alright. |

| I ran at the gym this morning, which worked out alright. I was a bit tired at first, put was able to pick up the pace eventually. I had considered cutting out a mile, but I am glad that I didn't as I was able to perservere in the last couple of miles. |

| I decided to run outside this morning since I needed to get to work early for a meeting. The air was nice and cool and I felt alright, but my brain was focused on work. Time was lousy. I am looking forward to a better run on Saturday. |

| I wound up having a really good run this morning. I met up with my group, but was pretty much on my own for the first 6 + miles. I then caught up with the couple of women that were ahead of me and we ran the rest together. It really helped pass the time. I averaged about a 10:01 pace, but most of my miles were under a 10:00 minute pace. This was a great way to start the weekend. My time was 2:03+. |
