Feels good to run a little faster... I think my hamstring is starting to feel a little better? Running so slow probably helped last week! And I'm starting to strech a little more.

 Finally all caught up on my bolgging entries from last week!

Thought I was going way faster.. guess not!  I actually thought it was going to be way worse because I was up so late last night, but I felt surprisingly good.  

Another gorgeous day!! And today I get my puppy... well not my puppy but A puppy for someone else!

I've taken some major time off this week!  Can't wait to get back at it tomorrow. I think my legs and hamstrings have enjoyed the break, but I'm ready to run.  

Today is day two of 120 sit ups everyday until we leave for Hawaii!

Ran 4 this morning and was really slow!  AP: 9:10 TT: 35:40 approx ( I dont have my garmin at the moment) 

 Maybe it was becuase frank wasnt pulling my arm off because of the new GENTLE LEADER THAT I LOVE!!! It was awesome! He kept trying to take it off but then he realized it was there to stay and he ran at such a good pace and kept right next to me.  Now I dont have fantasies of a shock collar!  So, he should be happy too. :) Thank you, thank you Nicole!! I think its a life saver, literally!  And now we can probably go for walks as well!  Where before it was impossible because he was constantly pulling.

Oh man! Today was brutal! I really wanted to get 7 or 8...yea right! Get real... This is why I dont like drinking on Friday night.  We went to the Alibi after softball and hit it hard. Jordan was buying drinks for complete strangers and we had to get a cab home.

Had a great run this day through the camp area and along the river with Frank.  It was pretty flat with two medium hills which helped my ap! Had a great time camping!  I will definately go back. Frank was soo good too!

9:29 8:39 9:02 11:27 (what!?) 8:57 8:45 8:49

Okay, its all coming back to me now!  The time was soo messed up- maybe because there wasnt sufficient access to satellites? It kept skipping around and going crazy. Like one minute it would be at 6:39 and then it would go to 12:40 or something. So who knows what actual splits were!

Had a pretty good run today... I didnt shut off the garmin after the run so I dont have AP or splits.  It kept running and I heard it beeping on my way to work in my purse.  But I think TT was something like 47:05. 

It felt cold out for as hot as it is today.  Going camping this weekend so I dont know if I will get a longer run in.  I need to start training better for H2C!!!!!!!!!  I am getting nervous because I havent been running as much.

Pretty sure  I almost killed Frankie this day.  We went running in the middle of the day.. huge mistake. So hot out and we both barely made it!  He was breathing so hard by the time we got home and his mouth was foaming...sorry Frank!  And I was so slow.. baaad all around!
