Ran with Cheri, felt really good the whole time. We stopped at a light and I stopped my garmin and guess never restarted it again (I do that alot!) We did a slightly different route today and really liked it. I had to go back after and clock it with my car to get the mileage.

Since I dont have work today decided to make the most of my time and went to the gym to do some weights, which felt so good to since I have slacked greatly on that lately, then I did 25 min. on the eliptical, it said it was 3.8 mi but I dont if the machine is accurate. Did first 15 at level 8 and last 10 at level 9.

Merry Christmas!

Went out after a morning of opening presents with the in laws and a big breakfast. I ran into the wind for the majority of my run but other than that it was a nice morning and good easy run. It so fun to have the day to spend with family!!!

Avg pace 7:29

Today I had some "ugly" miles. Last night my stomach started not to feel the greatest (could be the 5 brownies and every other sweet I inhaled  or that my family has all not been feeling good). I felt sluggish and sick to my stomach right from start, but I told myself just get this done and then I can go home take a warm shower and snuggle up on the couch! It felt like I was out there for an eternity.My running partners kids were sick all through the night so I was on my own today, it is so much nicer torun with someone, especially when you are not feeling the greatest, it really distracts you from it. I really missed her today!

Well I got some resistance training this morning, it was really windy! I wanted to turn around so bad and just cut it short but I just kept thinking about everybody else that runs in the wind and doesnt let that stop them (esp the SF winds i hear about). I didnt head out til close to 9am (its been nice sleeping in but it sure is going to make it hard next week) I was on my won again today, My friend got stuck up in cedar last night due to the weather and wasnt able to make it back. And then I felt so bad because I invited Ruth but went to bed before I got her message on the blog she was coming. So I thought she wasnt and stood her up. SO SORRY RUTH!!!

Ran a nice easy 10 down the SG marathon course with my friend peg. (my husband was very nice and got up early to drive us up and drop us off) avg was about an 8 pace

Then I ran 2.5 more miles at 7:11 avg pace, with the last mile being up hill. It was really hard for me! Usually that is not hard for me to run that pace and such a short distance. So it was kinda frustrating to me. I am hoping it is just because my week is thorwn off a little by eating absurd, going to bed late and running later in the morning and probably because I have not done any form of legit speed work for a long time! I have got to get on the ball and start throwing in some strides and a tempo run each week!

Ran the Painters 1/2 marathon course today with Cheri and Ruth (Ruth did the first 7 since her foot has been bothering her) and then another girl that I met during the summer came too.

It was a good run, avg pace was 7:58 and 1:43 in time.
